This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Jorian Hoover (“Jorian Hoover,” “we,” “our,” “us”) collects, uses, and discloses certain personal information obtained through our website (“Site”), which is located at jorianhoover.com, as well as information that we process as part of offering you our services (collectively with the Site, the “Services”). By using our Services, you are agreeing to the terms of this Policy.

What Information We Collect and Maintain About You

We collect personal and other information from you directly when you provide it to us through the website. We also automatically collect certain information about you and your computer, smartphone, or other device when you use, access, or interact with our Site. We may also collect information from third parties in relation to providing you our Services.

Personal information collected from accountholders. If you make an account with us in relation to our Services, we will collect information from you related to maintaining your account. This may include your name, email address, phone number, fundraising materials, and reason for engaging our Services. We may also collect information about you from third parties in relation to our Services.

Other personal information collected through the Site. You can visit the Site without submitting any information that we can use to identify you personally. However, to use certain features on the Site, such as the “Contact Us” feature, you will be required to provide personal information. Such information could include, for example, your name, email address, phone number, and fundraising materials.

Web log data. When you use the Site, we automatically receive and record certain information from your computer (or other device) and your browser. This may include such data as your IP address and domain name, the pages you visit on the Site, the date and time of your visit, the files that you download, the URLs from the websites you visit before and after navigating to the Site, your software and hardware attributes (including device IDs), your general geographic location (e.g., your city, state, or metropolitan region), and certain cookie information (see below). To obtain such information, we may use web logs or applications that recognize your computer and gather information about its online activity.

Cookies. We use cookies on the Site. Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by your web browser. A cookie allows the Site to recognize whether you have visited before and may store user preferences and other information. For example, cookies can be used to collect or store information about your use of the Site during your current session and over time (including the pages you view and the files you download), your computer’s operating system and browser type, your Internet service provider, your domain name and IP address, your general geographic location, the website that you visited before visiting the Site, and the link you used to leave the Site. If you are concerned about having cookies on your computer, you can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being set, allowing you to decide whether to accept it. You can also delete cookies from your computer. However, if you choose to block or delete cookies, certain features of the Site may not operate correctly.

Web beacons. The Site or the emails that you receive from Jorian Hoover may use an application known as a “web beacon” (also known as a “clear gif” or “web bug”). A web beacon is an electronic file that usually consists of a single-pixel image. It can be embedded in a web page or in an email to transmit information, which could include personal information. For example, it can allow an email sender to determine whether a user has opened a particular email.

Third-party online tracking and behavioral advertising. We may partner with certain third parties to collect, analyze, and use the personal and other information described in this section. For example, we may allow third parties to set cookies or use web beacons on the Site or in email communications from us. This information may be used for a variety of purposes, including online interest-based advertising, as discussed below (see “With Whom and Why We Share Your Information”).
