This privacy policy ("Policy") describes how VolunteerLocal, LLC collects, uses, shares and stores information submitted to VolunteerLocal's website ("Website" - www.volunteerlocal.com) and VolunteerLocal's application ("Application" - app.volunteerlocal.com).
Who is VolunteerLocal? VolunteerLocal is an online service used by volunteer coordinators to capture volunteer information to improve scheduling, communication and tracking, typically for some type of one-time event.
Who is the audience for this Policy? 1. Individuals using the Application to sign up for volunteer opportunities ("Volunteers").

Information Collection: Volunteers
How we collect information from Volunteers Information about Volunteers can be collected in the following ways:
1. Directly from a Volunteer: via an online form that accepts information about a Volunteer
2. Indirectly on behalf of a Volunteer: via an online form that accepts information about a Volunteer, submitted by someone other than the Volunteer, on behalf of the Volunteer
3. Indirectly from a User: the Application allows a User to submit Volunteer information via a form and/or via an import process. It is important to note that in this case, the User already has possession of the Volunteer information (it is not supplied by us, directly or indirectly).
Information collected from Volunteers is submitted via SSL (HTTPS).
What information we collect from Volunteers The information collected about a Volunteer is determined by a User and may include personally identifiable information. Some common information Users will collect (provided as an example):
- First name
- Last name
- Email
- Mobile phone number
- T-shirt size
Because the User has control in the Application to create a custom online form to collect information, we cannot determine exactly what information a User will request.
Each Volunteer will need to decide for herself/himself if the User is requesting information the Volunteer does not want to submit.
Some Users may take credit card payments from Volunteers in the form of a registration fee or deposit hold. Credit card information is submitted to a 3rd party for processing.
A Volunteer's credit card information is not stored with us. We receive, and store, an identifier from the 3rd party payment process to manage refunds and similar payment support issues.
Information Collection: Users
How we collect information from Users Information about Users, including prospective Users, can be collected by the Website and/or Application. Information is collected by the User submitting the information via an online form.

Information Ownership & Sharing: Volunteers
What Volunteer information do we share? We do not share with, sell to or otherwise distribute identifiable Volunteer information. We may work with, view or manipulate identifiable Volunteer information as

When a Volunteer submits information to a User (via an Application), the User can access the information in several formats, including formats that can be easily distributed.
A Volunteer will need to decide for herself/himself what information to submit, knowing their information may be distributed to other systems by the User.

User information may also be shared with 3rd party partners (to offer relevant services), but only after acquiring permission from the User to do so.
What User information do we own? We use the information collected from a User to operate our Application, but make no ownership claim of such information.
