Goodwill Industries of Tulsa is here for you, our website user. You can use goodwilltulsa.org without revealing any information about yourself. To make our website as useful for you as possible, you do have the option to share your information with us. Here is how we use the information we collect, how we protect it and the ways you can also control your privacy.

General Collection and Use

Our policy is to use the information we collect from visitors to our site for internal purposes only. We do not share your information with any third-parties for commercial purposes. You have the option to share certain information with third-parties when performing specific activities on the website. We maintain appropriate security measures to keep your information private. Your browser, however, does automatically tell us the type of computer and operating system you are using. We will make it clear when you are sharing any personally identifiable information.

We will not collect sensitive data unless required by law:

• Race or ethnic origin
• Political affiliation
• Religion or philosophy
• Trade union memberships
• Genetic or biometric
• Health or mortality
• Sexual orientation

You can use our website without revealing any information. You may choose to share personal information in these cases:

• Registering for a class or program
• Paying class fees
• Registering to attend an event
• Signing up for a newsletter or other correspondence
• Requesting a follow up contact
• Entering a contest

We do not use your information for automated decisions; we will always ask whether you want to receive more information or to be contacted.

 

Protecting Your Information 

Goodwill takes precautions to keep the information you choose to share with us secure. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the proper use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

 

Maintaining Your Privacy

You may later decide that you no longer wish for us to use your information to contact you. We will respect your wishes. You can contact us directly to do so.

We do keep track of the domains from which our users visit us. We analyze this data for trends and statistics, and then we discard it after two years.

You can also request at any time that we verify, make changes, or stop using any of your personal information. For instance, your email address may stay on our shopper’s newsletter list until you request that we remove it.

 

How We Use Cookies (not for snacking)

To store user information, certain sections of the Goodwill website use "cookies," small strings of text that a website can send to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your email address.

Cookies help us understand how you found your way to our website, which parts of our website are the most popular, where you are going, and how long you spend there. The analytics tool we use is Google Analytics, which uses cookies to transmit traffic data to Google’s servers. Google Analytics does not identify you individually or associate your IP address with any other data Google holds. We use the reports from Google Analytics to understand our web traffic and improve the website.

We want to keep our website visitors informed about our mission and how we can be of service, whether it is finding a place to shop, donate or a job. We do so by using target advertising and re-targeting marketing through third-party vendors Google Ads and Facebook. These services help us to determine the effectiveness of our advertising and how beneficial our ads are to you. Google Ads and Facebook use cookies and other similar technologies to collect user data and track user activities across Internet platforms. Some of this data might be personally identifiable; however, you still have control over how your data is collected and used.

It is possible to set your browser to inform you when a site is trying to place a cookie; you can then decide whether to accept the cookie. You should consult the Help menu in your browser for complete instructions. You may also opt out of receiving Facebook, Google and other online interest-based advertising either directly on their platforms, or through the Digital Advertising Alliance (in the US) or the NAI Consumer Opt Out tool.

Wrap Up and Contact Information

This policy clarifies the data we collect and/or that you choose to share, and how we use that information. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, you may not use the site.

Goodwill reserves the right to change our Privacy Policy and User Agreement at any time without notice. The changes take effect immediately. You will be considered to have accepted the changes after your first visit to the website after they are implemented.
