Our web server may automatically attempt to identify a user to the website through a cookie placed within the user’s web browser.   A “cookie” is a piece of data stored on your computer or mobile device tied to information about you.  It serves as a message given to a web browser by a web server.  The browser stores the message in a text file; the message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. From time to time we may also track information on pages and features that users access or view. The activity is collected and may be stored in our constituent relationship management system and/or our email service provider.  You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent, but doing so may cause you to lose functionality with some parts of our website.

​

Our email newsletters utilize tracking technology that allows us to see how many newsletter e-mails are opened and the e-mail address of users who have clicked on a given feature. We use this information for internal purposes, to measure the aggregate number of people who view our content.

In order to access some of the services on our website, such as our joining our email list, you may be required to procure a separate account and/or complete an online registration form, which requests certain information and data (“Registration Data”), and to maintain and update your Registration Data.

The following sets forth the ways we process your personal information. For residents of the European Economic Area, this disclosure is required by GDPR Articles 13 and 14. GDPR also requires us to inform you that the legal basis for processing this information is, as applicable, your consent, our legitimate interest, or a contract we have entered into with you.

​

(a) We may process information about your use of our communications (“usage data”). The usage data may include your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, length of visit, page views and website navigation paths, as well as information about the timing, frequency, and pattern of your use. We use this usage data for the purposes of analyzing your use of CoCo’s content.

​

(b) We may process information contained in any inquiry you submit to us (“inquiry data”). We use this inquiry data for the purposes of offering, marketing and selling relevant goods and/or services to you and for customizing the content we develop and send to you.

​

(c) We may process information that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our email notifications and/or newsletters and downloading CoCo or third-party white papers (“notification data”). We use this notification data for the purposes of sending you relevant notifications, newsletters and/or white papers.

​

(d) We may process information contained in or relating to any communication that you send to us (“correspondence data”). The correspondence data may include the communication content and metadata associated with the communication. Our website will generate the metadata associated with communications made using the website contact forms. We use this correspondence data for the purposes of communicating with you and record-keeping.

​

(e) We may process any of your personal information where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure and where necessary for the purposes of obtaining or maintaining insurance coverage, managing risks or obtaining professional advice.

​

(f) In addition to the specific purposes for which we may process your personal information set forth in this Privacy Policy, we may also process any of your personal information where such processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.

The following sets forth the ways we may disclose your personal information to others.

(a) We may disclose personal information to our suppliers or subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary to maintain our communications. We may use service providers in connection with operating and improving the website to assist with certain functions, such as email transmission, data hosting and some aspects of our technical and customer support. Among them are:

​

• Google – We use Google Analytics to track site statistics and user demographics, interests and behavior on the Website. Google’s Privacy and Terms explain how it uses information from the Website.

• Act-On Software – We use Act-On Software to manage our email subscriber lists and send emails to our subscribers. Act-On’s Privacy Policy explains how it uses information.

We take measures to ensure that these service providers access, process and store information about you only for the purposes we authorize, subject to confidentiality obligations.

(b) We may disclose your personal information to our insurers and/or professional advisers insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes of obtaining or maintaining insurance coverage, managing risks, obtaining professional advice or the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure.

(c) We may transfer part or all of your information in the case of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of CoCo’s assets or stock. In addition, we may disclose your personal information where such disclosure is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another person. We may also disclose your personal information where such disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, whether in court proceedings or in an administrative or out-of-court procedure.

CoCo has its headquarters in the United States. Information we collect from you will be processed in the United States. The United States has not sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union under Article 45 of the GDPR. CoCo relies on derogations for specific situations as set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR. Our Coco endeavors to protect the privacy and security of your personal information and to use it only consistent with your relationship with Our CoCo and the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We may store personal information in locations outside the direct control of Big Duck (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers).

As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings.

Customer, email and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer or assign such information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers or dissolution.  In such cases, we cannot control acquiring parties’ use of your information.

​

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order or subpoena, or if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect Big Duck’s rights or property. We will also disclose your personal information to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we believe to be unlawful.

We offer commercial email recipients the opportunity to opt-out of further communications in every email. If you want to stop receiving commercial emails, promotional or other marketing materials, you can do so at any time by contacting CoCo at hello@our-coco.org.

CoCo is headquartered in the United States. If you are located in Canada, the European Union or elsewhere outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide to us will be transferred to the United States. By using our website, participating in any of our services and/or providing us with your information, you consent to this transfer.

Under the California “Shine The Light” law, California residents may opt-out of the disclosure of personal information to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. California residents also have the right under certain circumstances to receive, once a year, information about third parties with whom we have shared information about you or your family for their marketing purposes during the previous calendar year, and a description of the categories of personal information shared. To make such a request, please send an email to hello@our-coco.org.  You will see the phrase “My Annual California Privacy Request for (Insert Domain Name Here)” in the subject line, but please also include the domain name of the web site you are inquiring about, along with your name, address and email address within the body of your email. We will respond to you within thirty days of receiving such a request.  

Canadian residents also have certain rights to know how their information may be shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes. As detailed above, you may contact us for such information or to opt-out of the sharing of your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes at any time by sending an e-mail stating this preference and including your full name and e-mail address to hello@our-coco.org. You will see the phrase “My Annual Canadian Privacy Request for (Insert Domain Name Here)” in the subject line, but please also include the domain name of the web site you are inquiring about, along with your name, address and email address within the body of your email. We will respond to you within thirty days of receiving such a request.  Please note that this opt-out does not prohibit disclosure for non-marketing purposes.

Through your use of our website, https://our-coco.org, and other communications, Our Community Collective, Inc. (“CoCo”) may collect and store personally identifiable information about you.  Generally, personally identifiable information means information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact or locate a single person, or identify an individual in context. This information may include your name, e-mail address, telephone number, employment details, information regarding your computer system, and other information.

If you reside in the European Economic Area, you have certain rights to the personal information that we have collected about you. To exercise your rights to your personal information, please contact us at hello@our-coco.org. We will respond to reasonable requests as soon as practicable. You have the following rights:

​

(a) Right Of Access To Your Personal Information: You have the right to ask us for confirmation on whether we are processing your personal information, and access to the personal information and related information on that processing (for example, the purposes of the processing, or the categories of personal information involved).

(b) Right to Correction: You have the right to have your personal information corrected.

(c) Right to Erasure: You have the right to ask us to delete your personal information. This right may be exercised, among other times: when your personal information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed; when you withdraw consent on which processing is based and where there is no other legal ground for processing; when you object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing; or when your personal information has been unlawfully processed.

(d) Right To Restriction Of Processing: You have the right to request the limiting of our processing under limited circumstances, including: when the accuracy of your personal information is contested; when the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal information and request the restriction of the use of your personal information instead; or when you have objected to processing pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of Big Duck override your grounds.

(e) Right To Data Portability: You have the right to receive the personal information that you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transmit that information to another controller, including to have it transmitted directly, where technically feasible.

(f) Right to Object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal information, as permitted by law. This right is limited to processing based on GDPR Art. 6(1)(e) or (f), and includes profiling based on those provisions, and processing for direct marketing purposes, after which we will no longer process your personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

(g) Right to lodge a complaint before the data protection authority: We encourage you to contact us directly and allow us to work with you to address your concerns. Nevertheless, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal information relating to you infringes applicable data protection laws.

The security of CoCo’s website and your information is of great importance to us. CoCo has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of your information under CoCo’s control, but we make no assurances about our ability to prevent any such loss, misuse or alteration, and we shall have no liability to you or any third party from any loss, misuse or alteration. We do not warrant that your access to our website is completely secure.

​

CoCo shall notify any user whose information is suspected of being accessed, disclosed, altered or deleted by an unauthorized person so that the user can take appropriate measures to minimize the adverse effect of such a data security breach (a “Breach Notification”). Big Duck will make such Breach Notification soon after it learns of a breach, unless it deems, at its sole discretion, that such Notification might hinder and prevent ongoing efforts to detect the source of the breach. For the avoidance of doubt, a Breach Notification does NOT constitute an admission by CoCo that the breach occurred as a result of any conduct by CoCo or its personnel, including but not limited to malpractice, failure, bad faith or negligence, or that the breach occurred in CoCo’s systems.

​

Violation of security rules may result in criminal or civil liability and prosecution. CoCo will refer to the proper authorities any occurrence that may constitute any such violation, and cooperates fully with law enforcement agencies in ensuring the prosecution of violators. This list of security violations is by way of example only and is by no means intended to be exhaustive: gaining access to data without proper authorization; logging onto a server, account, area of the site without proper authorization; scanning, probing or testing for vulnerability of the site’s system or attempting to do so, and attempting to breach the security of the site, without proper authorization; attempting to interfere with the functionality or features of the site or its systems by introducing viruses, overloading, flooding, mail-bombing, or crashing; and sending unsolicited promotional e-mail messages.

CoCo does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to use our website and other communications. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information.

This Privacy Policy shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Any dispute arising under or in relation to this Policy shall be resolved exclusively in the State of California in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth herein.
