2. THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
CAUSETEAM is a product-based fundraising and donation system for people and organizations to raise money for worthy causes. The Site is designed to operate without requiring you to submit any more Personal Information (“PI”) than is necessary to use the Site effectively. We do not require you to register or submit PI in order to visit the Site. Some activities on the Site can be performed without providing PI. When we ask for PI to participate in an activity, set up a fundraiser, make a purchase or make a donation, we will not require anyone to disclose more PI than we believe is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity. We collect the following categories of information from you:
2.1 PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED
We may receive and store any information you enter on the Site that would allow us to identify you personally or contact you. The PI you provide to us only will be used by CAUSETEAM in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Examples of PI we may collect from you include:
- If you set up a fundraising account, we collect your name, phone number, project/mission description, and email address, social information (from the social networking sites you connected with), any photos that you upload to the Site, your mailing address, and phone number.
- If you make a purchase and/or donation through the Site, we collect your name, physical address, phone number, and email address.
- PI you provide about yourself when you send us an email or complete a contact form on the Site. If you are a charity or nonprofit (each a “Charity”) and you establish an account with CAUSETEAM, we will collect the name, tax ID, physical address, email address of the Charity and the name, email address, and phone number of the person who establishes the Charity account.
We may obtain address information about you from third-party sources for fraud prevention or for legal compliance.
