Information We Share
Slam Out Loud does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise disclose personal information about our Website visitors (nor our offline donors), except as described herein. We share information provided by our Website visitors with service providers that we have retained to perform services on our behalf ― for example, to process donations, send direct mails, emailers, greeting cards, making phone calls, and others. We may share your information like phone numbers, email address, etc. with these agencies so that they can perform these activities efficiently. These service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. However, since we do not have complete control over these third parties, such third parties’ usage of your data/info shall be governed by the terms of their privacy policy, over which the Foundation has no control. We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our ownership or assets. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to direct the transferee to use personal information you have provided through this Website in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Security and Privacy
We are committed to protecting Donor Data and other personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Amongst other things, we undertake a range of security practices, including measures to help secure web access to sensitive data and undertake efforts to address security vulnerabilities for various tools and databases. The Foundation has the necessary security mechanisms in place and only designated employees have access to your personal information. We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized disclosure, use, alteration or destruction of the personal information in our possession. All online transactions are done on a secure server. You’ll know that you’re in a secure area of our Website when a “lock” icon appears on your screen and the “http” portion of our URL address changes to “https.” The “s” stands for “secure.”
Choice/Opt-out
For e-newsletter subscribers, when we take contacts from our team’s Google contact list and send the newsletter, we are not taking people’s permission to use their email address. In every form that we get filled for the subscription, we ask people to tick a mark to ‘agree to our terms and conditions’ which involves a term for using their email address to send the e-newsletter.. So, anyone engaging with us automatically receives our e-newsletter and in case one doesn’t want it, they can unsubscribe by clicking on unsubscribe. Users of our site will always be notified if their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this to ensure our users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.

If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email at the last address provided and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on our website. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which information was collected. Any such changes may affect our use and sharing of personal information that you provided to us before our notification to you of the changes. If you do not wish to permit changes in our collection, use, or sharing of personal information that you have provided to us before the effective date of such changes, you must notify us before that effective date.
