General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) Compliance.

We take our responsibility as a GDPR processor very seriously and acknowledge that we process personal data on behalf of our customers who are the Controllers. It is our commitment to comply with all GDPR requirements and ensure that personal data is processed in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner. Our obligation as a processor includes the following:

  • We maintain a record of all processing activities carried out on behalf of Controllers.

Working with our customers who are the Controllers, we aim to meet these obligations and ensure that their personal data is processed safely and securely.

The Company’s Site and Services are operated in the United States. If you are a resident of or are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), you may also have certain rights under the GDPR regarding the use and transfer of your personal data. If you are located in the EEA or elsewhere outside the United States, any information that you provide, including your personal data, to Millie in connection with your use of the Site or the Services will be transferred to the United States. We may also transfer your personal data to third parties acting on our behalf for the purposes of data processing, storage, maintenance, and improvements to the Site and Services with authorization from the Controller. By providing any information to us, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of such information in the United States.

  • Request your personal data be deleted;
  • Request the suspension or restriction of the use of your personal data, or withdraw your consent for Controllers or Processors to use your personal data; and

When we receive requests directly from Controllers, we cooperate with the Controller however necessary to fulfill the request under the direction of the Controller.

When we receive requests from Controllers regarding the deletion of data, we will take commercially reasonable steps to do so as soon as practicable, although your right to have your personal data deleted is subject to exceptions, such as, for example, compliance with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Use of Cookies.

“Cookies” are simple text files stored on your computer for use by a browser. Certain Site or Service features may only be available through the placement of a cookie. We may use “cookies” to assist in data collection and to track visitor Site and Services usage and trends to help us better serve you. The use of cookies is a standard practice among Internet websites; most Internet browsers permit a user to accept, decline or delete cookies. We may use persistent cookies to make it easier for you to navigate the Site and our Services. Specifically, we may use persistent cookies to track whether you are logged into the Site or our Services. A persistent cookie may remain on your local device for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following the directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file. We may set a persistent cookie to store how you came to the Site and what items you interact with. Persistent cookies also enable tracking and targeting the interests of our users to enhance their experience on the Site. If you reject cookies, you will still be able to view the Site, but your ability to use some areas of the Site may be limited. Some of our business partners (e.g., analytical tracking software providers) may use cookies and tracking technologies on the Site. We have no access to or control over these cookies or tracking technologies. This Policy covers the use of cookies on milliegiving.com and the Company platform by us only and does not cover the use of cookies or tracking technologies by any such business partner.

When you use the Site or Services, we may employ clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons) which are used to track the online usage patterns of our users anonymously.

Cookies we use.

Data Security.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal data submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. Our Site uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal data is required and to make online donations you must use an SSL-enabled browser in order to protect the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information while it’s transmitted over the Internet.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event of an inadvertent disclosure of your personal data, we will take commercially reasonable steps to limit and remedy the disclosure as required by applicable law. If you have any questions about the security of our Site and our Services, you can contact us via email at team@milliegiving.com or telephone at (339) 364-2018.
