When you make an online donation on via Paypal or any of our customer websites, we collect personal information such as your name, billing address, and email address, if you have not already provided these details.

Technical Information
Like most websites, our servers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our site, including your Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your visit, the referring URL, and, if you have visited our Site before, one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We also collect information about your activities on the site, such as the pages you access.
In order to collect this information, the site places a cookie on your hard drive. A “cookie” is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows that site to recognize your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies.
In addition, we may use tools like “Google Analytics” to collect information about use of this site. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this site, what pages they visit when they do so, what other sites they used prior to coming to this site, and Interest-based advertising or 3rd-party audience data (such as age, gender and interests). We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve this site and our services. These services do not collect your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics or similar services with personally identifiable information.

SGF uses the personal information that you provide, and the technical information logged by our servers to process your donations, to:
- deliver notifications such as transaction confirmations, tax receipts, and other items described above;
- improve your experience (such as remembering your name or your preferences);
- contact you regarding your donation(s) and other aspects of the service;
- operate the site and our business; and
- compile aggregate statistics that allow us to understand how visitors use our site, and to make improvements in design and content to better serve you.
