Privacy Policy

This website is owned and operated by the Central Arizona Conservation Alliance (“CAZCA”), an initiative of the Desert Botanical Garden. We operate this website (www.cazca.org) and we take your privacy very seriously. We are committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of visitors to our website including mobile versions of our website. If you have any questions, comments, or requests regarding this policy or the information practices of CAZCA, please contact us using the contact information below.
This privacy policy identifies and describes the way CAZCA uses and protects the information that we may collect about individuals who use the website. This policy may be changed or updated from time to time.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE CAZCA’S WEBSITE OR PROVIDE CAZCA WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. Your use of CAZCA’s website and/or mobile applications indicates your acceptance of this policy and of the collection and use of your personally identifiable information in accordance with this policy.

THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We may collect different types of personal and other information based on your use of our products and services and our relationship with you. Personal information we may collect includes contact information such as your name, telephone number, email address, city, state, country, and zip code. Certain transactions may require you to input other personal information such as credit card numbers, and bank account numbers. If you apply to volunteer, you may optionally enter other personal information such as date of birth, education and employment information, background, and emergency contact information. If you apply for membership, you may optionally enter certain personal information for those you include on your membership. We may ask you to provide us with information regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics, experience with our programs, and more detailed contact preferences.

We may conduct surveys, contests, promotions on the website, and we may give you the opportunity to participate in these. Participation may require that you submit certain personally identifiable information to CAZCA, and we will collect and store this information. However, your participation is strictly voluntary and is not required to continue to use the website, applications, and services, so you have a choice whether or not to submit this information.

AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED INFORMATION

When you visit our website, we may collect certain information by automated means. For example, our systems may collect information about your activity on the website (such as pages you visit, address of a referring website (if any), identifiers for your mobile device, geographic location information, and Internet Protocol address) for a number of purposes. Such information is collected using automated technologies such as cookies. A “cookie” is a text file that our website would send to your computer or mobile device to identify your browser or to store information or settings in your browser. We may use this automatically collected information to track engagement with our website. We also use this information to operate, maintain, and manage our website. If you would like to avoid cookies, view our site in “privacy mode” or change the settings in your browser to not accept cookies. Click on the “Help” section of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

We use Google Analytics to gather anonymous analytics and statistics about our website and how they are being used by our visitors so we can improve our website. Our web server storage logs may collect the domain names, internet protocol addresses, the types of web browsers, and certain clickstream data of visitors to the website.

  • Provide you with the best customer experience possible

PERSONAL INFORMATION SHARED WITH OTHERS

We will only share the personal data you provide online with other entities or business partners who are acting on our behalf for the uses described here. For example, when processing payment for a transaction, CAZCA may provide your personal information to a third-party payment processor. If you check the applicable box to consent to disclosing your personally identifiable information to third parties, CAZCA may share aggregated user statistics and information with third parties. CAZCA does not sell or trade your personal information with third parties. We may be required to share your personal information for purposes such as complying with court orders or law enforcement; assisting with identity verification, and to prevent fraud and identity theft; selling CAZCA assets; or enforcing our agreements and property rights.

ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY FOR CHILDREN

We do not knowingly collect personally identifying information from anyone under the age of 13 unless we first obtain permission from the child’s parent or legal guardian. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information provided by a visitor under the age of 13 without permission from a parent or legal guardian, we will delete the information from our records. A child’s parent or legal guardian can also request that the personal information of their child be deleted from our records.

SECURITY

We are concerned about ensuring the security of your personal information. Your personal information is collected and stored in a secure cloud database. Information that you submit for your sole personal use through CAZCA’s services and applications is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access, and CAZCA does not access the unencrypted information without your permission. We use industry-wide, standard, commercially reasonable efforts to protect your personal information from access, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction by any unauthorized party. These include physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. There is no 100% secured platform available in the industry and we cannot guarantee the security of the information, nor can we guarantee that information you supply in connection with use of the website will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet or wireless communication. Any information you transmit to the website is at your own risk. We do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private.

If you make an online purchase with us through use of a credit card, we encrypt your credit card number. Where you use a CAZCA service or application to store your personally identifiable information for access only by you, and where the information is not submitted to CAZCA in order to obtain access to CAZCA’s services or applications, such personally identifiable information is encrypted and password-protected, and accessible only by you. If we need to ship something to you, we must share your name and address with a shipping company.

“DO NOT TRACK” PRACTICES

We do not honor do-not-track signals from browsers or other consumer choice mechanisms regarding the collection of behavioral tracking data.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

We may offer links to sites that are not operated by CAZCA. If you visit one of those linked sites, you should review its privacy and other policies. We are not responsible for the policies and practices of other companies.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND PERSONAL INFORMATION

CAZCA uses a variety of social media options to communicate and interact with consumers, and has links to certain social media providers available on its website. When interacting with a CAZCA presence on those social media websites, you may opt to reveal certain personal information. We may collect the personal information that you make available to us on that page or account, including any information you have made public in connection with that social media service. Any personal information you have chosen to share on any CAZCA social media pages will be visible to persons visiting those pages, and privacy on those pages is governed by the privacy policies of those social media companies. Other than to respond to posts or answer questions, CAZCA will not use personal information provided on its social media pages without permission from you.

EMAIL AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

CAZCA or third parties that it uses may contact you by email or other means at an address that you have provided to us. If you do not want to receive an email from us, please “unsubscribe” through the link that is included in our emails. If you do not want to receive mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal information or follow the directions to remove your name from our mailing list.
