The Christopher Reeve Foundation (CRF) respects your privacy. We do not collect personal information from you unless you offer it. Our intention is to provide an informative tool for those interested in spinal cord injury research, CRF Quality of Life grants, information about Foundation activities, and to allow our supporters to become more involved in our mission. We recognize that visitors to our site may be concerned about the information they provide to us and how we treat that information. CRF uses “cookies”--codes that allow us to recognize your computer when you visit our website. We collect and store only anonymous information about your computer and mode of Internet access, including the name of the domain from which you access the Internet, the date and time you access our site, how long you stayed on our site, and the Internet address that brought you to our site. We track this information to improve the usefulness, value, and navigation of our website. CRF collects personal information when you register with us to make a donation or become a member to the website, to Bridging the Gap, to the Hope Network (including Action Alerts), or to fundraising campaigns. We ask for information such as your name, address, phone number, fax number, and email address. We reserve the right to email you for fundraising efforts unless you expressly request not to be emailed. Our emails are never sent unsolicited. Unsubscribe information can be found at the bottom of every email sent. CRF takes very seriously the protection of sensitive materials regarding online donations. CRF works with vendors to secure transactions according to industry standards using generally agreed upon methods of encryption and encoding. Personal information is stored in a database with reasonable protections in place against privacy breaches using multiple “firewalls.” Any vendors affiliated with CRF are held to industry-standard practices including, without limitation, confidentiality. Any personal information you send in an email will not be used unless you sign a Consent and Release form. It is our responsibility to provide you with this form. Any information sent to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center (PRC) is not covered under this policy. Please click here for the PRC Privacy Policy.
