Your privacy is important to us. Our ongoing commitment to the protection of your privacy is essential to maintaining the relationship of trust that exists between Center for Nonprofit Excellence DBA BoardMatch, Inc. ("BoardMatch" "we" or "us"), the nonprofits seeking board or committee members (each, an "Agency"), and our users. This privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") is intended to help you understand how we collect, use, and disclose your information.
You may have accessed BoardMatch by visiting http://BoardMatch.cnpe.org, by using our mobile application, or through the site of one of our third-party partners with whom we have teamed to provide volunteering services (collectively, the "Services"), such as a BoardMatch co-branding partner or a corporate partner (collectively, "Partners"). This notice applies to all information you submit to BoardMatch through the Services. Please note that we cannot be responsible for the information you submit directly to third parties, including our Partners, who may have their own posted policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your information. We urge you to review the policies of our Partners through whom you may access our services.
The types of information, including without limitation personal information, ("Information") we may collect from users through the Services are:
For Agencies who use the Services to host board opportunities we may collect:
We do not sell, rent, or trade our user Information (whether volunteer, administrator, or nonprofit users) to outside parties. We use the Information we collect about you to provide and improve the Services, facilitate the volunteering process, respond to your requests, and to provide information to you about BoardMatch and related industry topics.
Please be aware that, to the extent required to provide our services, we share your Information with volunteer users, Agencies, our third-party service providers, or our Partners, as applicable. We may use our email lists for sending out BoardMatch outbound communications. We also reserve the right to use your Information to send you transactional e-mails, and you cannot opt out of receiving transactional e-mails without deleting your account (by email us at admin@cnpe.org).
Please note that any feedback or comments provided by you on the Web site may be generally accessibly by any visitor to the Web site. Therefore, please take care when posting feedback or comments to the site, as you will forfeit the privacy of that information.
If you are a volunteer user, we may also use your Information in the following ways:
If you indicate to us that you are interested in creating a personalized account, the information we gather from you will be used to provide you with the Services and permit you to: access the account, customize your profile with skills and interests, customize outbound email services, review your connection history and/or post a resume that can be sent as an attachment to inquiries you make using the BoardMatch service.
If you indicate to us that you are interested in a particular volunteer opportunity and provide us with your Information using the Services, we will forward your Information to the Agency that listed that opportunity so that the Agency can contact you regarding your potential involvement, and, if the particular Agency (including an Agency that is a Partner) has a regional or national office or is closely affiliated with or a member of a related Agency (each, an "Affiliate"), then we may also share your Information with the applicable Affiliate. Each such Agency, however, has its own policies regarding collection and use of personal information and we are not responsible for their use of your Information. For more about an Agency's policy, please contact them directly using the contact information posted for that Agency on our Web site.
To the extent that you have provided any Information to us through our Services regarding volunteer opportunities associated with one of our Partners or have accessed the Services through a Partner, we may share your Information and connection history with the applicable Partner. Each of our Partners has its own policies regarding the collection and use of personal information, and BoardMatch is not responsible for their use of your Information. Furthermore, our Partners may collect additional information from you, independent of BoardMatch.org, in connection with the volunteer services.
If you are an Agency, we may also use your Information in the following ways:
If you submit Information to us as an Agency, then, subject to the terms and conditions as a nonprofit member of BoardMatch, your Information (excluding your EIN number) will be accessible by anyone who accesses BoardMatch. In addition, we may share your Information, including your EIN number, with selected Partners in order to verify your Agency's identity and tax status.
Agencies who receive email addresses from potential volunteer signups are strongly encouraged to adopt privacy standards similar to those of BoardMatch (but in each case, you must comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations). Inappropriate use of personal information received from BoardMatch may jeopardize nonprofit membership with BoardMatch. BoardMatch reserves the right to determine, in its discretion, what constitutes inappropriate use of this information and to terminate Agency access to the Services for such misuse.
Occasionally, we or our Partners, use third-party service providers to help provide or improve the services we offer you. Sometimes these providers have access to the Information we collect about you as a part of providing, maintaining, and improving the Services.
We share aggregate information about our users with certain third parties. This information shows user activity at a group level, rather than on an individual basis.
In the unlikely event that BoardMatch undergoes a merger or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, the acquiring entity may use your Information subject to this Privacy Policy. In addition, in the further unlikely event that BoardMatch is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent (a) there will be no further use or disclosure of your personally identifiable Information by BoardMatch and (b) reasonable efforts will be taken to ensure your personally identifiable Information on BoardMatch's servers will be destroyed. In addition, there will be no use or disclosure of your personally identifiable Information by any entity that acquires assets of BoardMatch pursuant to such bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.
Due to factors beyond our control, however, we cannot fully ensure that your Information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, we may be legally obligated to disclose Information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept or access your Personal Information.

When you visit our Services, we and others give you the following choices about use of mechanisms for tracking, including tracking of your online activities over time and across different websites and online services by third parties. Many Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies from BoardMatch and other parties. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features of our Services.

If you delete your cookies, use a different browser, or buy a new computer, you will need to renew your opt-out choice. While we and others give you choices described in this Privacy Policy, there are many ways Web browser signals and other similar mechanisms can indicate your choice to disable tracking, and we may not be aware of or honor every mechanism.
