Mosaicappeals.com privacy policy

Mosaicappeals.com's privacy policy covers the collection and use of personal information that may be collected any time you interact with us.

Please take a moment to read the following to learn more about our information practices, including what type of information is gathered, how the information is used and for what purposes, to whom we disclose the information, and how we safeguard your personal information.

Your privacy is a priority at mosaicappeals.com, and we go to great lengths to protect it. We are committed to protecting your privacy online and will treat any identifying data obtained from you in accordance with the provisions of The Data Protection Act 1998 and any subsequent amendments to it.

What information we collect

There are a number of situations in which your personal information may help us give you better service. Detailed information from you helps us to provide a better service to those fund-raisers using our services.

The mosaicappeals.com website allows fund-raisers to create an ‘ID’ based on their personal information. This convenient service saves time and allows for easier use of our web services. An example of this is when you choose a username and password for security. The system saves your information and assigns you a username. The next time log in, all you need to do is enter your username and password; and the system looks up the information it needs to assist you.

There is no bulletin board or chat room on the mosaicappeals.com site at present but it may be introduced in the future. If you use such a bulletin board or chat room you should be aware that any information you share is visible to other users. Personally identifiable information you submit to one of these forums can be read, collected, or used by other individuals to send you unsolicited messages. Mosaicappeals.com is not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit in these forums.

When we disclose your information

Mosaicappeals.com may, from time to time, use your information to keep you informed of appeals similar to the one you have supported, or other offers. Unless you have indicated your preference not to have your details disclosed, will make your details available to the fund-raiser or fund-raisers you have chosen to support. There may be times when it may be advantageous for us to make certain personal information about you available to companies with whom we have a strategic relationship or that perform work for us to provide products and services to you on our behalf. These companies are also obligated to protect your personal information in accordance with mosaicappeals.com's policies. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to receive customer service, provide us feedback to improve our products and services, or access certain services, offers, and content on the mosaicappeals.com website.

At times we may be required by law or litigation to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary.
