How we use the information you provide via this website

When you volunteer online: Our volunteer forms ask you to provide contact information (such as your name and email address) and geographic information (such as your zip code). We also ask you to tell us how you want to help the organization.

Cookies: A cookie is a tiny text file that might be stored on your computer by mnaidsproject.org. We may use cookies to tailor your experience on our site according to the preferences you have specified. When you visit mnaidsproject.org, we can only access the information that we stored in your cookie file. We cannot access any information stored in a cookie set by other websites. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information. No other site can access the cookie information we set in the cookie file.

IP Addresses and Log File Data: We log IP addresses, or the location of your computer or network on the Internet, for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. We also use IP addresses in the aggregate to track which pages people visit in order to improve the quality of the site. We do NOT tie this information to other information you submit.

Information on Children: The Minnesota AIDS Project website does not ask children under the age of 13 for any information that can be used to identify the child. We do NOT knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

Our Use of Other Organizations' Lists: On occasion, we may rent postal mailing lists from other organizations. If your name appears on one of these lists, you may receive non-electronic mailings from us. We do NOT share our own mailing lists with other organizations. You may remove your name and personal information from any list by or calling 612–341–2060.

How we protect your information

Our website has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of the information under our control. Our server is located in a locked, secure environment 24 hours a day.

When you contribute online, we use a secure server and SSL to protect your credit card number and other personal information during transmission.

SSL is short for Secure Sockets Layer; a protocol developed by Netscape for secure transmission of private information over the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that are transmitted over the SSL connection. All current, major browsers support SSL, and websites use SSL when users transmit confidential information such as credit card numbers. Web pages that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http. SSL uses 128-bit encryption within the United States and 64-bit encryption internationally. We store important information such as credit cards on servers that are not accessible to the Internet.

We currently utilize Blackbaud NetCommunity for our online contributions. Detailed security information is available from their website.

Correcting Your Information

Unless you choose to register for an event or as an advocate purchase tickets or donate online, the Minnesota AIDS Project website does not require you to register nor do we assign you a password. If you need to correct or update the information you have provided us, please or call us at 612–341–2060 with your new information.
