At NYC Veterans Alliance, we respect and protect the privacy of our community and those who use our website. The following Privacy Statement provides details about how your personal information is collected and used. This privacy statement applies to the NYC Veterans Alliance website and services that are located in, as well as the OurVeterans.nyc website and services, but is not limited to the NYC Veterans Alliance or OurVeterans.nyc domain.
Information Collection and Use NYC Veterans Alliance is the sole owner of information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. NYC Veterans Alliance collects information from our site visitors at several different points on our website.
Our websites offer several opportunities for visitors to register for informational mailings and other opportunities to support the NYC Veterans Alliance. These registration forms are often linked to NYC Veterans Alliance mailing lists and require users to give contact information (such as name, zip code, phone number, and email address). We, and our service providers, also collect information when you make a donation, or otherwise contact us with a question, comment, or request.
We may use the information we collect from or about you for a number of purposes, including, but not limited to: providing you with services and information you request; following up on services or information provided to you; contacting you about fundraising campaigns or advocacy efforts; providing you with information or required notices; conducting research; generating and analyzing statistics about your use of our websites; and detecting, preventing, and responding to fraud, intellectual property infringement, violations of our Terms of Use, violations of law, or other misuse of our website.
Sharing and Usage We will never share, sell, or rent your personal information with third parties for their promotional use. Occasionally, we enter into contracts with third parties so that they can assist us in servicing you. The contracts prohibit them from using any of your personal information for their own purposes, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information we provide to them. We may disclose or report personal information in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under the law. For example, we may be required to disclose personal information to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to comply with a legal process such as court order, subpoena, search warrant, or law enforcement request.
In addition, we may share de-identified information, such as user demographics and traffic patterns, with third parties.

Security We take every precaution to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information by using industry-recognized security safeguards such as firewalls, coupled with carefully developed security procedures to protect your information from loss, misuse or unauthorized alteration. When we ask for sensitive information we protect it through the use of encryption during transmission, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
NYC Veterans Alliance does not directly process credit card or financial information, that service is provided through third party payment processors, including Paypal, Revv, and ActBlue, and their service may require you to agree to their own Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. This policy does not cover those third party services or how those third parties may use the information you provide them. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and terms of use.
NYC Veterans Alliance takes care to reinforce the importance of our website visitors' security and privacy among our employees. Our employees are trained and required to safeguard your information and, using physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, we restrict access to personal information to those employees and agents for business purposes only.
