- Information Collection and Use. We are the sole owners of the information collected on this Website. We only have access to and collect information that you voluntarily give us. Upon your request, we will use your information to register you for Camp Iroquoina programs and other activities that we may establish, process any donations you intend to make to HIS Camps, Inc., and/or otherwise respond to your questions. Unless you request that we not do so, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about activities that you may be interested in and/or revisions to this Privacy Policy.
Registration: You may use our Website without being required to provide us with any personal information. However, if you want to register your child or yourself for Camp Iroquoina programs, you will need to set up an account, which requires you to provide us with some personally identifiable information, such as email address, date of birth, and gender. Additionally, if you wish to make a donation, then you will need to provide additional information. Otherwise, please do not send confidential information to us directly through the Website, or by email to any of the contact email addresses listed on the Website. When you make a payment for registration through our secured site, you will provide your name, contact information, payment information, and additional information related to your transaction. We use this information to process your payment and to ensure your payment is correctly credited to your account.
Contact us: We provide a “contact us” link in the “footer” of the Website. If you contact us through the link, we will ask that you provide certain personally identifying information, including your first and last name, your email address, subject, and message. We may use the information to respond to your request.
Request for More Information: We may provide you with the opportunity to request more information about our activities. If you opt to request such information, you will be asked to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, including your first and last name, and email address.
Donation: If you make a donation through the Website, we will ask you to provide certain personally identifying information, such as your name and home address, as well as your credit card billing information, in order to process the donation and provide you with a donor receipt and acknowledgement for tax purposes. The credit card information that you provide to us will only be used to process your donation, and will not be stored or used for any other purpose. We partner with a third party payment processor to process your donation, and in each instance some of your information will be shared with the third party processor.

Non-Personal Information We Collect by Automated Means And How We Use It: We collect certain information by automated means when you use the Website. Much of this information is collected through the use of third-party tracking services. The information collected may include usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of users to the Website, pages visited, web browsing histories, social networking activities and similar data. For example, we automatically gather the number and frequency of visitors to this site. This information may include which URL you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your IP address. This collective, aggregated data helps us determine how much our users interact with parts of the Website, and do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve you. When gathered, this this data is used in the aggregate, and not in a manner that is intended to identify you personally. This type of aggregate information may be shared with third parties at any time, including advertisers and marketers. In addition to the third-party tracking services mentioned above, we also collect this information through various other means, including “cookies,” “web beacons” and IP addresses, as further explained below.
Cookies: A cookie is a piece of information that a web server may place on your computer when you visit or use a website. Cookies are commonly used by websites to improve the user experience. Many cookies last only through a single Website session, or visit. Others may have an expiration date, or may remain on your computer until you delete them. We may use “session cookies” in order to enhance the user experience and for other web-related purposes. These session cookies are not linked to personally identifiable information. We may also use cookies for other purposes, including to maintain continuity during a user session, to gather data about the usage of our Website for research and other purposes, or to store a user name or related login credentials so that you do not have to provide this information every time you return to our Website. Most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of all the features on our Website. Our cookies do not gather personally identifiable information. In some cases, we may also use another company to operate web servers for our Website. We use the cookie information gathered by these companies in the same manner as stated in this Privacy Policy.
Web Beacons: Our Website may contain “web beacons” (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs). These web beacons allow third parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies set by the third party. Web beacons also may be used to track whether you have opened an HTML email. When the email is opened, a part of the code that makes up the HTML page calls a web server to load the web beacon that then generates a record showing that the email has been viewed. Web beacons may also recognize when the email was opened, how many times it was forwarded and which URLs (links within the email) were clicked.
IP Addresses: When you use the Website, third parties with whom we have contracted to provide services for us may collect Internet Protocol addresses (each an “IP Address”), as well as browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and page navigation. An IP Address is a unique identifier number that certain electronic devices use to identify and to communicate with each other on the Internet; your Internet Service Provider automatically assigns an IP Address to the computer that you are using. We gather this information to track Website user movement in the aggregate, and to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Our goal in gathering this information is to learn how our customers and the public are using our service. We may use this information to enhance our Website or for other lawful purposes.
- Sharing Your Information. We may disclose information with third parties to the following extent:
- With third-party vendors in order to make the Website available to you, to host and store the information we collect from you, and to provide certain functionality and features, such as camp registration and processing donations.
- For ongoing communications related to the various activities and solicitations of HIS Camps, Inc., including communicating with you via phone, email or mailing information to your home address.
Otherwise, we keep your personal information private and secure and do not reveal personally identifiable information about you to third parties for their independent use unless: (1) you expressly authorize HIS Camps, Inc. to do so, (2) it is necessary to allow HIS Camps, Inc. and its service providers or agents to provide services on HIS Camps, Inc.’s behalf, (3) it is necessary in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the HIS Camps, Inc. or the merger of the HIS Camps, Inc. into another entity or any consolidation, share exchange, combination, reorganization, or like transaction in which the HIS Camps, Inc. is not the survivor, (4) HIS Camps, Inc. is required or permitted to do so for any or all of the following reasons: (i) to comply with a subpoena, legal process, government request or any other legal obligation, (ii) to prevent, investigate, detect, or prosecute criminal offenses or attacks on the technical integrity of the Website or our network, and/or (iii) to protect the rights, privacy, property, business, or safety of HIS Camps, Inc., its employees or volunteers, its Website users, or the public.
- Children’s Privacy. We are concerned about the safety and privacy of children who use the Internet. Although we encourage children to learn more about our organization and opportunities to serve their communities, this Website is not intended for use by children without parental consent and supervision. We do not knowingly or intentionally solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and become aware that your child has provided us information without your consent, please contact us at info@iroquoina.org to request that we delete such information. We will delete such information from our files within a reasonable amount of time from your request.
- Security. We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via this Website, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted by and transmitted to a third party processor. You can verify the security precautions taken by our third party processor by looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of their Web page and/or the shield icon at the bottom of their Web page.
Only HIS Camps, Inc. employees and directors who need to know the information to perform a specific task (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
If your personally identifiable information is shared by us or on behalf of us through a vendor, we will endeavor to do so, when reasonably practical, by secure means. However, no Website, application, or transmission can guarantee security. Thus, while we have established and maintain what we believe to be reasonable procedures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personally identifying information obtained through the Website and we strive to protect your personal information and have asked our third-party vendors to do the same, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Therefore, you understand, acknowledge, and agree that you transmit certain personal information over this Website at your own risk.
- Your Access to and Control over Information. You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time, unless such contact is essential to complete and/or maintain registration and attendance at Camp Iroquoina or to process and memorialize a donation. Otherwise, you can opt out of future contacts by contacting us via the email address or phone number provided in the “contact us” section of the site. If you believe that any of the personally identifiable information that you have submitted through this Website is no longer accurate, or you wish to make any updates or changes, you may do so by writing or calling us, or by contacting us at info@iroquoina.org. Upon appropriate request and if commercially reasonable, we will update or amend your information, and we reserve the right to use information obtained previously to verify your identity or take other actions that we believe are appropriate and lawful. If we reasonably believe that a change is warranted, we will endeavor to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. Please note we may need to retain certain information for record keeping purposes, and there may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed from such locations.
- Non-U.S. Users. If you are using the Website from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed within the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your jurisdiction. By using the Website, you consent to your information being transferred to our facilities and to the facilities of third parties with whom we share the information, as described in this privacy policy.
- Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Privacy Policy will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania for the resolution of any disputes.
- Dispute Resolution. You and we agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. Other than disputes involving intellectual property, any dispute or claim that you and we cannot resolve amicably and privately will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to HIS Camps, Inc. at our address in the “Contact Us” section below. The arbitration will be conducted by the Institute for Christian Conciliation (ICC), a division of Peacemaker Ministries, Inc., under its Rules of Procedure of Christian Conciliation. The ICC’s rules are available at www.peacemaker.net.
You and we agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial.
