Privacy Policy

Make It Right uses its best efforts to respect the privacy of its online visitors. At our site, we do not collect personally identifiable information from individuals unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. In general, you can visit Make It Right on the Web without telling us who you are or revealing anything about yourself.  This means we do not require you to register or provide information to us in order to view our site. MIR only gathers personally identifiable data, such as names, addresses, zip/postal codes, e-mail addresses, etc., when voluntarily submitted by a visitor. For example, personally identifiable information may be collected in order for a visitor to make a donation online. This information is used solely by MIR or other entities who are involved in the operation of this site for internal purposes. MIR’s lists are never sold to third parties. We will only share personally identifiable information with third parties when the person submitting the information authorizes us to share it or we are required to by law.

As with most other Internet sites, our Web server automatically recognizes the domain name of each visitor to the site, but not the e-mail address (where possible). This IP address tells us which domain you visited from (e.g. aol.com). We use the information we record to help diagnose problems with our server and to improve the content of our Web page. The information is not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes.

Visitors should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected by MIR’s Website through the use of “cookies.” “Cookies” are small text files a Website can use to recognize repeat visitors, facilitate the visitor’s ongoing access to and use of the site, and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the visitor that has no meaning outside the assigning site. If a visitor does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the visitor to deny or accept the cookie feature. MIR uses “cookie” technology only to obtain non-personal information from its online visitors in order to improve visitors’ online experience and facilitate their visit within our site.

Note to Parents

We are pleased when young people visit MIR’s Website to learn more about the organization and our project.  However, MIR does not knowingly solicit data from children and does not knowingly market to children.

Credit Card Information

Make It Right has contracted the services of fulfillment partners to process credit card donations submitted online. Our partner’s secured server encrypts your credit card information so that it may be safely transmitted over the Web. Your credit card information will not be released by Make It Right or its banking partner to any other party.
