IDF values the protection of individual privacy and is committed to the privacy of its visitors. This policy sets forth IDF’s (and Plasma Hero’s) privacy policy for the site and governs the manner in which IF collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users of the site. By using this site, you agree to be bound by this privacy policy. If you do not agree to this privacy policy, do not use this site in any manner.

Personally Identifiable Information
During your interactions on this website, IDF may wish to collect information that personally identifies who you are, such as your name, address, email address and/or phone number.
Anonymous Information
IDF may collect non-personally-identifiable information during your visit. Examples of non-personally-identifiable information may include your Internet access provider, device used, IP address, your browser and operating system, the date and time of your visit, the pages you visit, the address of any website you linked from, and aggregate, statistical data such as usage, traffic patterns and user demographics based on your use. IDF collects non-personally-identifiable information in order to provide you with or assist in the provision of information, to maintain performance, and to make the site more useful.
Personally Identifiable Information Use.
IDF may collect personally identifiable information such as your name, address or e-mail address in order to, among other things, send you updates and news, invite you to participate in anonymous surveys, and provide you with information and/or services that you have requested. By providing such personal information, you agree to such uses. IDF retains such personally identifiable information only for as long as is necessary depending on the reason for your submission of such personally identifiable information, and collects no more personally identifiable information than is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which such information is collected.
Personally Identifiable Information Disclosure.
IDF recognizes your trust and fully respects your privacy. IDF does not sell or otherwise disclose any personally identifiable information to any third parties other than: (1) as required by law; (2) in the event of a sale, merger, public offering, bankruptcy or other change in control of IDF and/or this website; or (3) with your affirmative consent at the time you provide such information. If you have indicated that you would like to receive information from PlasmaHero.org, we may send you occasional email updates. If you prefer not to receive these updates, simply follow the instructions on how to unsubscribe included in the messages you receive.
Disclosure to Agents of IDF.
From time to time, IDF may share the information you provide to IDF, including personally identifiable information, with outside contractors, auditors, consultants, or others hired by IDF to assist in providing financial or operational activities on IDF’s behalf including technical and processing services and analysis of website performance. IDF informs these parties about safeguarding personally identifiable information, and requires them to use such personally identifiable information only for an authorized purpose on behalf of IDF and consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Electronically Produced Data
Plasmahero.org may use cookies and other tools to collect information about how you use the site. A cookie is a small, unique text file that a website can send to your computer hard drive when you visit a site. IDF may use “session cookies”, which terminate when a user closes his or her browser, and/or “persistent cookies”, which remain on the user's computer until manually deleted. Most web browsers can either alert you to the use of cookies or refuse to accept cookies entirely. If you do not want IDF to deploy cookies in your browser, you can set your browser to reject cookies or to notify you when a website tries to put a cookie on your computer. Rejecting cookies may affect your ability to use the site.
Action Tags.
Like most standard website servers, IDF may employ a software technology called action tags (also known as “web beacons”, “single pixel gifs”, “clear gifs” or “web bugs”), which collect information and help to manage cookies, in order to gather information about Site usage. Action tags help IDF identify and track the performance of web pages on the Site, therefore allowing IDF to measure the performance and quality of the Site and to manage Site content. In addition, IDF may use action tags in emails. This allows IDF to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications by showing, for example, how many emails have been opened.
IP Addresses.
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. Like most standard website servers, IDF collects IP addresses and other technical information about your machine through your web browser such as your operating system, browser type and referring URL for the purposes of, among other things, system administration and to ensure the validity of user requests.
Log Files.
Like most standard website servers, IDF gathers certain information automatically and stores it in log files, which contain information such as, among other things, IP addresses, browser type, operating system, ISP, date/time stamps and referring pages. Among other things, this information allows IDF to track statistics and trends on an aggregate basis.
Protections.
IDF maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of any personally identifiable information that you disclose to IDF. IDF protects information both online and off-line. The transmission of information, including any payment information, is encrypted and protected using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security). Stored customer information is kept in a secure environment where access is restricted to employees who need the information to perform a specific job. However, due to the nature of the Internet, computer networks, systems and other factors, no transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of IDF to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully, regardless of IDF’s best intentions. As such, IDF cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to IDF, including without limitation personally identifiable information.
Review or Correction of Personal Information
You may review, request corrections, ask that we delete, or refuse further collection or use of the personally identifiable information IDF collects from you. You may do this by contacting IDF using the contact information provided at the end of this document. In the event that IDF changes this Privacy Policy to allow disclosure of personally identifiable information to third parties, you will have the option to agree to the collection and use of such information.

By submitting any personally identifiable information to the Site, you are agreeing that IDF may deliver all privacy and opt out notices to you electronically, including via email to the most recent email address you have provided to IDF. By using the Site, you are agreeing that IDF may deliver all privacy and opt out notices to you via posting on the Site.
Links.
The Site may contain links to third party sites at which your personally identifiable information is collected and used. Your visit to any third party website is governed by the privacy and other policies applicable to that site.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy.

Since offerings and technologies change, we reserve the right to change, modify, add or remove portions of our Policy at any time without prior notice at our sole discretion.
