Information We Collect About You and How We Collect it

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Website, including information:

  • you register for our newsletter via our Website;
  • you make a donation to SCAN or purchase a product via our Website;

SCAN processes online donations through a third party called Bloomerang and processes online product purchases through a third party called GiveSmart. These third parties collect your credit card information to process your payment. Any sensitive information that is collected and processed by them is encrypted. We do not keep your credit card information on file. When you donate or make a purchase online, SCAN does obtain personally identifiable information such as name, zip code and email address. There is always an option to donate anonymously.

  • you contact us via our Website, for example by our “Contact Us” link;
  • you apply online to become a volunteer;

When you contact us via our Website or apply online to become a volunteer, we will retain the information you provide to respond to your inquiries and will also include you on our e-newsletter list.

We only collect personally identifiable information from users when users provide it to us.

  • automatically as you navigate through the Website.

Like most websites, this Website uses various technologies such as cookies, web beacons or Internet tags to passively collect information as you navigate the Website. Information collected automatically is saved as log files and may include, but is not limited to, IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, as well as aggregate information on the number and frequency of visits to various pages on our site. Most websites collect such information. This information is encrypted and does not identify individual users and we do not link this automatically collected data to personally identifiable information.

You may set your browser to not accept cookies; however, some features of the Website may not function properly without the use of cookies.

Please note that our Website does not respond to browser do-not-track requests.

  • To present our Website and its contents to you and to provide you with our e-newsletter.
  • To provide you with information, products or services that you request from us.
  • To process an online donation or purchase.
