6. Privacy.
The RBG-CNM values the privacy of our Supporters. We do not sell or share the personal information of our Supporters to any third party outside of the RBG-CNM, except as provided in this Agreement.
A. Information that We Collect About You.
We may collect information about Supporters in order to fulfill our ministry; as to provide services, products, and other opportunities to our community, ministry Supporters, and website users; such as the discounts and benefits associated with the RBG-LRC.
We use the data we collect to allow us to (i) analyze and monitor “black dollar” activity; (ii) promote and support the RBG Community Network Ministry (inclusive of the RBG Loyalty Rewards Ministry); and (iii) develop a knowledge base regarding our Supporters and website users. The information we may collect includes personal information and purchase information.
"Personal Information"we may collect as a part of the RBG-CNM includes:
• Your name, address, email, birth month and year, phone number, social media, and other demographics.
• Information we obtain from third parties for the purpose of data verification and supplementation as described in section 6E below, which becomes associated with your personal information.
"Purchase Information" includes:
Information about your purchases that we may obtain when you use your RBG Loyalty Rewards Card (date and time of purchase, contents of purchase, store location, total dollar amount of purchase). The RBG Loyalty Rewards Card is separate from and will not access participating Vendors’ pharmacy records, which are maintained under a separate privacy policy in compliance with federal and state laws.
PLEASE NOTE that currently our RBG-LRC does not record or track purchasing data. You can use your RBG Loyalty Rewards Card when making a purchase and the RBG Loyalty Rewards Card will not record any details of the products that you have purchased. RBG Loyalty Rewards Card purchasing data may become available in the near future; as the RBG-CNM reserves the right to track and record purchasing data of card holders.
B. Uses of Personal Information.
Personal Information is collected, used, and shared when you use our Website, and each time you swipe your RBG-LRC. The following information may appear on your RBG-LRC: User Name, email, telephone number, country, postal code, social media. We may retain and use the personal information we collect about you in the conduct of our business. For example, we may use the information to: a) provide you the benefits offered through the RBG-LRM; b) mail or email information to you about promotions, offers or services we think will be of interest to you; c) monitor and evaluate the success of the RBG-LRM.
C. Sharing of Personal Information.
Except as noted within this Agreement we will not sell or share any personal information that we collect about you or provide it to any third party outside the RBG-CNM without your consent. We may, however, give you the option to share your information with voluntary programs operated by third parties that coordinate with the RBG-CNM. By electing to share your purchase information with the organization that runs the coordinated program, you may qualify for benefits offered under the coordinated program. If you decide to share your information with a third party, please keep in mind that once your information has been shared it will be subject to the third party’s privacy and data collection practices.
D. Collection of General Aggregate Information.
To improve the products and services offered, we may aggregate information about the purchases of all people who are RBG-LRM members. Aggregate information does not include any personal information. We use aggregate information (such as the amounts and types of groceries purchased by typical Supporters of African/ Indigenous owned grocery stores) to gain a better understanding of our Supporters’ needs and preferences, to identify the effectiveness of promotions, and to provide new or better products and services to active Supporters. We may also use such information to provide special offers to RBG-LRM members who have elected to receive such offers. If you’ve elected to receive such offers they may be mailed to your home, sent electronically, or given to you by a Vendor of this ministry. We may share aggregate information with third parties; as to allow them to measure the effectiveness of the RBG Loyalty Rewards Ministry, and Vendor marketing/ advertisements.
E. Third Party Data Practices.
Occasionally, we may use a third party to verify or supplement our data, including personal information. For example, we may receive updates from the National Change of Address service to ensure the accuracy of our customer address information, or we may purchase a mailing list or other information about RBG-LRM member interests in certain products and combine this information with information in our database. We may share our data with third parties who provide services to us, such as our auditors and accountants, our attorneys, or third parties who provide data entry for RBG-LRM applications data, who conduct consumer research for us, or who mail materials or post advertisements on our behalf. If we use a third party to provide services that involve access to any personal information, it will be for limited purposes and in compliance with these privacy policies.
F. Disclosure of Information in Response to Court Order or Emergency.
We may elect to disclose personal information about you without prior notice in response to law enforcement activity or other governmental request; to respond to subpoenas, court orders or administrative agency requests for information; to enforce our contract or property rights; to protect ourselves or others; or when required or otherwise permitted by law. All information that we collect may also be disclosed in connection with the proposed sale, transfer, merger of the ministry, or any charter or other organization of the ministry to which the information relates.
G. Website Privacy Policy.
If you use GUTK’s website, or participating Vendor’s website; you agree to be subject to the website privacy policy that appears on the site.
H. Data Security Practices.
We use commercially reasonable means to protect the integrity of our systems and the confidentiality of collected data. We cannot provide absolute assurances against, and will not be liable for, breaches of confidentiality due to system failures or unauthorized access by third parties.
