However, certain non-personal information is recorded by the standard operation of the charity’s internet servers. Information such as the type of browser being used, its operating system, and your IP address is gathered, in order to enhance your online experience. The Site’s potential mailing lists, downloads, special offers, registration forms, and surveys may request that you give us contact information such as your name, mailing and/or e-mail address, and interests. Information submitted at the time of submission will be used by the Charity only as necessary, for our legitimate interests, including, without limitation the improvement of our products, services and the contents of the Site. 

Sai Lion Youth may also share such information with our service and promotional partners to further those interests. Personally identifiable information is never sold or leased to any third parties. With your permission, we may use your contact information to send you information about our events and updates. You may always opt-out of receiving future mailings as provided below. The Charity does not store any credit card information it may receive, in regard to a specific transaction and/or billing arrangement except as necessary to complete and satisfy its rights and obligations with regard to such transaction, billing arrangement, and/or as otherwise authorized by a user. 

Sai Lion Youth may disclose user information in special cases, when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with the Charity’s rights or Services, other users of the Site, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. The Charity may also be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

The Charity nonetheless encourages parents to go online with their kids. Here are a few tips to help make a child’s online experience safer: 

Teach your children never to give personal information, unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult. Includes name, address, phone, school, etc. Know the sites your children are visiting, and which sites are appropriate. Look for Website privacy policies. Know how your child’s information is treated.

Other Information We Collect

Social buttons. On any of the pages of Sai Lion Youth site you may see social buttons. These enable users to share or bookmark the web pages. There may be buttons for: Twitter, Google +1, Facebook ‘Like’, and LinkedIn ‘Share’. In order to implement these buttons and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of Sai Lion Youth site. You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on the Sai Lion Youth site. So, if you click on any of these buttons, these sites will be registering that action and may use that information. In some cases, these sites will be registering the fact that you are visiting Sai Lion Youth.org, and the specific pages you are on, even if you don’t click on the button if you are logged into their services, like Google and Facebook.

You should check the respective policies of each of these sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.

External web services. We use several external web services on Sai Lion Youth.org site, mostly to display content within our web pages. For example, to display slideshows we sometimes use SlideShare; to show videos we use YouTube and Vimeo. This is not an exhaustive or complete list of the services we use, or might use in the future, when embedding content, but these are the most common. As with the social buttons we cannot prevent these sites, or external domains, from collecting information on your usage of this embedded content. If you are not logged in to these external services then they will not know who you are, but are likely to gather anonymous usage information e.g. number of views, plays, loads etc.

Email tracking. Some emails that we send you have no tracking in at all, for example personal correspondence or emails with invoices attached. Other emails we send we put in tracking so that we can tell how much traffic those emails send to our site, and we can track, at an individual level, whether the user has opened and clicked on the email. We rarely use the latter information at a personal level, rather we use it to understand open and click rates on our emails, to try and improve them. Sometimes we do use the personal information e.g. to re-email people who did not click the first time. If you want to be sure that none of your email activity is tracked, then you should unsubscribe from our newsletter, where available.

Our separate Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies, how third parties we partner with may use cookies on the Site, and your choices regarding cookies. Please read the Cookies Policy in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which sets out additional details on how we use personally identifiable information and your various rights.

What We Do, With the Information We Gather                                              We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and for the following reasons:

• Internal record keeping.
• We may use the information to improve our communication and services.
• We may periodically send promotional emails about news updates, special events, or other information which we think you may find interesting, using the email address which you have provided.
• We may send you information of interest outside of Sai Lion Youth that may be of interest to you.
