Our Commitment to You: Protecting Your Privacy.

Ethnikos Association of Latakia-Antaradus

​

Ethnikos Association of Latakia-Antaradus (“EALA”) is committed to protecting your personal information. We highly value your trust and recognize that maintaining this trust requires that we be open and accountable in our treatment of your personal information that you share with us.

Everyone at EALA must comply with this Privacy Commitment to you and with our Corporate Privacy Policy.

Drawing on philanthropic, volunteer, and professional leadership. Like many non-profit organizations, our work involves the handling of personal information which may be used to distinguish, identify, or contact individuals. This information includes whether an individual participated in EALA volunteer programs, whether and how much an individual has donated to EALA, and an individual's private contact information.  

Respecting privacy and safeguarding the integrity of personal information is a foremost priority. Our responsibility is to limit the use of personal information solely to what we legitimately need to do our work. For example, we need personal information to:

1. Accept donations

2. Properly administer pledges and gifts from our valued donors

3. Provide and enhance the programs and services we deliver to our communities

EALA collects personal information when, for example, you:

• Make a donation

• Visit our website, fill out one of our surveys, sign up as a volunteer, subscribe to EALA newsletters and updates, and other interactive communication you engage in on our website

EALA web pages contain online forms that allow visitors to make a donation. The personal and credit card information provided on these forms are used only to process these donations through a third party processor.

EALA collects and analyzes website usage and other data about our members and donors strictly for internal purposes.

EALA does not sell, rent, exchange, or otherwise disclose any personal information that we collect to third parties. Personal Information will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except if we get your consent, or as required or permitted by law.

When we choose to have certain services provided by third-party providers, such as fundraising and donation payment processing services, we select providers very carefully. We take all reasonable precautions to ensure that the service provider protects your personal information.

Our privacy commitment includes protecting your personal information with security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. For example, we use password protocols and secure websites to protect personal information, and our software is routinely updated to maximize protection of confidential information. 

Contacting EALA

If you want to know about the specific, personal information we have about you, or you wish to update that information so it is accurate, please let us know.

Although you can use the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of our email, you can also send us a request that we no longer contact you by email or other forms of communication.

If you have questions, comments, or concerns about your personal information or EALA's privacy practices, please send an email to info@ethnikosassociation.org
