This Privacy Notice explains our practices with respect to personal data we collect and process in connection with your relationship with us. This includes information we collect through, or in association with, our websites located at www.takingontransformation.org (the "Site").

‍‍2.   What Information Do We Collect?‍
‍

In the course of using the Site, we collect a variety of personal data from and about you through your interactions with the Site, including:

• When you provide it to us voluntarily to contact you; and
• Automatically through analytics tools and cookies.

You have choices about certain information we collect. When you are asked to provide information, you may decline to do so; but if you choose not to provide information that is necessary to provide any aspect of our Services, you may not be able to use certain interactions on the Site. In addition, as noted below in the section captioned “Your Choices” it is possible to change your browser settings to block the automatic collection of certain information. Finally, we may collect data that is not identifiable to you or otherwise associated with you (such as aggregated data) and is not personal data.

‍

‍Information Collected Automatically.
When you browse our Site or communicate with us through the Site, we may utilize commonly-used analytics tools, such as Google Analytics and Google's reCaptcha service, to collect information about your device, the network used to access the Site, and information about your use of the Site (such as how you navigate and move around the Site). This enables us to improve our Site functionality and content and your user experience. Third-party analytics services use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about the use of our sites and to report website trends to us, without directly identifying individuals to us.

‍

‍Cookies and Web Tracking.
We use cookies to personalize and enhance your experience in regard to our Services, and may use tracking tools to collect data about your visit to our Site and to permit analytics providers to gather information about your visit to the Site. Please see the “Your Choices” section of this Privacy Notice for more information about cookies and other web tracking technologies on the Site; for information about how you can reject, delete, or prevent cookies from being placed on your system; and how you can opt out of, limit, or prevent certain web tracking technologies from collecting information about you.

‍

‍Information Obtained From Third Parties.
We may receive personal data from third parties that we have engaged to provide services to us, as well as from third parties that provide web analytics and usage information to us such as Google Analytics.

In addition, if you choose to interact with us or our partners on social media sites by posting to our pages, tagging us (or using certain hashtags or other identifiers) in posts, or participating in activities, we may collect certain information from the social media account you use to interact with us, including the name associated with the account, the account handle, recent activity, the content of any posts in which we are tagged, and other information that may be contained on your social media profile to allow us to respond to the posts and understand and engage with our audience.

For the purposes of this Privacy Notice, “partners” means affiliates, service providers, or other third parties with which we have a partnership or business relationship.
