We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as your name and email address if you sign up for our mailing list, or the registration information you provide to us, including your username and password, when you register to use any of our services that require registration and login (“Sign-in Services”). We may also collect certain information automatically, such as the specific pages you visit and actions you take while visiting the site or using services, the date and time of access, the IP address from which you are connecting to the internet, and the browser software and operating system you are using. We may receive information about you from other sources, including through third-party services and organizations. Our site and services may also contain web beacons and may store small text files (“cookies”) on your device. We also use various analytics tools to collect and process data, including Google Analytics, which has its own privacy policy and opt-out features described at www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
How We Use Information
We use collected information to operate and improve the site and our services, to develop new programs, to understand and analyze aggregate metrics such as the number of visitors or page views, to provide information and services to you or otherwise communicate with you, to solicit charitable donations, and in any other manner described to you when the information is collected, or to which you give your consent.
How We Disclose Information
We are committed to maintaining your trust, and we want you to understand when and with whom we may share the information we collect. We may disclose aggregate and non-personal information (such as the number of visitors to our site) for any purpose. We may disclose your personal information (i) as we reasonably believe is required by law or judicial process, or to otherwise cooperate with law enforcement or other government agencies, (ii) to protect the safety, rights, or property of ourselves or others, (iii) to protect ourselves or others from legal liability or from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful activity, (iv) to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, and (v) to protect the security of the site and the services. We may also disclose personal information in any manner disclosed to you at the time we collect the information or to which you later consent. Finally, we may disclose personal information in connection with a substantial corporate transaction to any acquirer of THORN or THORN’s assets, such as occurs in a merger, sale of assets, or bankruptcy.
No Commercial Advertisements
THORN is a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible organization supported by charitable donations. We solicit and collect such charitable donations through the site, but do not advertise commercial products or services, or share your personal information with third parties for commercial marketing purposes.
