Preservation Easement Trust is committed to protecting your privacy with respect to information collected from, and provided to, our website. The statement below discloses our Privacy Statement. If you have any questions or comments regarding our Privacy Statement, please send an e-mail via Contact Us.

I. Collection of Information

We collect non-personally identifiable information about you in a number of ways, including tracking your activities through your IP address, computer settings or most-recently visited URL. We do not collect any personally identifiable information about you unless you voluntarily submit such information to us, by, for example, filling out membership, donation, contact us and/or preservation donor application forms. The types of information that may be requested include your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, property and/or donation related information, etc.

In general, we use the information that you provide to us for the purpose for which such information was provided. We may also use this information for website administration and to contact you to deliver information about our charitable mission, upcoming events, membership drives, fundraising efforts and website, as well as to respond to your specific questions and/or issues. To a limited extent, the information may be provided to strategic partners and/or select third-party entities, both for-profit and non-profit, deemed in our sole discretion to be beneficially involved in areas consistent with our charitable mission. However, if you do not wish this limited distribution of your information, we do provide an opt-out choice (see below). Non-personal demographic and profile data will be used to optimize your experience at our site, showing you content that we think you might find desirable, and to improve our service offerings.

III. Use of IP Addresses & Cookies

We may use your IP Address to help diagnose problems with our server, administer our website, provide automated website features, and to improve our understanding of website traffic flows and user preferences.

When you view our website we might store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a "cookie" or similar file. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Cookies do not spy on you or otherwise invade your privacy, and they cannot invade your hard drive and steal information. Rather, they help you access and navigate a website as easily as possible.

To a limited extent, your information may be provided to strategic partners and/or select third-party entities, both for-profit and non-profit, deemed in our sole discretion to be beneficially involved in areas consistent with our charitable mission. However, if you do not wish this limited distribution of your information, we do provide an opt-out choice (see below). Moreover, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Statement. By way of example, we may be forced and/or choose to disclose information to the government, law enforcement authorities or third parties under certain circumstances; third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will always remain private. Also, with respect to websites that are linked to our website, we have no responsibility and/or control over their privacy practices, content, administration, etc. We disclaim any and all legal liability for any websites that you choose to visit from our website. We strongly urge that you consult their privacy policy prior to revealing any personally identifiable information.

V. Security

Our site has industry standard security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. While there is no such thing as "perfect security" on the Internet, we will take all reasonable steps to insure the safety of your personal information.

If you wish to review and/or change your personal information, please send an e-mail via Contact Us stating your request. In the alternative, you may telephone us at (609) 524-4044. We will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that your information is appropriately modified in our records.

VII. Opt-Out Decision

You may opt-out from having your information provided to strategic partners and/or select third-party entities, both for-profit and non-profit, deemed in our sole discretion to be beneficially involved in areas consistent with our charitable mission, by sending an e-mail via Contact Us stating that you “opt-out.”

We may change this Privacy Statement from time to time based on your comments and our need to accurately reflect our data collection and disclosure practices. All changes to this policy are effective after we provide you with at least thirty (30) days notice of the changes. We provide you with thirty (30) days notice to allow you the opportunity to notify Preservation Easement Trust if you do not agree to such changes.
