The Rafael Soriano Foundation (the “RSF,” “we,” “us,” or “ours”) provides you with this privacy and security policy (“Privacy Policy”) because we know that you care about how your information is collected, used, shared, and retained.

This Privacy Policy outlines our handling practices and how we collect and use the Personal Data you provide during your online interactions with us. As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Data” means any information that can be used to identify individually a person, and may include, but is not limited to, name, email address, postal or other physical address, credit or debit card number, title, social security number, and other personally identifiable information.

We will be the controller of Personal Data that is provided, collected and/or processed pursuant to this Privacy Policy, except where otherwise expressly stated below or in a separate agreement. If you have any questions about whether any of the foregoing applies to you, please contact us using the information set forth in the “Contact Us” section below.

This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected when you access the Site https://www.catalogue.rafaelsoriano.org (the “Site”) and in email, text, and other electronic communications between you and the Site. It does not apply to information collected by:

We may also notify you of changes to our Privacy Policy by email.  Your use of our website and any other services provided by the RSF after such changes are implemented constitutes your acknowledgement and acceptance of these changes. Please refer back to this Privacy Policy on a regular basis. If you object to any of the terms in a revised Privacy Policy, you have the right to cease using the Site. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or believe that the RSF has acted inconsistently with this Privacy Policy, please contact us.

Additional information collected from your device may include any of the following: Universally Unique ID (UUID), Advertising Identifier (IDFA), MAC address, hardware and processor information (e.g., soorate, chip speed), and network type (e.g., WiFi, 3G, 4G, 5G LTE).

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

When you visit the Site, cookies or other tracking technologies may be placed on your computers or mobile devices. A cookie is a small amount of information that a web server sends to your browser that stores information about your account, preferences, and use of the Site. Cookies allow us to recognize you when you return to the Site and track and target your interests in order to provide a customized experience. We use cookies to record session information, record user-specific information on what pages are accessed or visited, and record other information that the tracking technologies provide.

“Session” cookies are temporary cookies used for various reasons, such as managing page views. Typically, your browser will erase session cookies once you exit the browser.

“Persistent” cookies are more permanent cookies that are stored on your computer or mobile device after you exit the browser. Persistent cookies allow us to retrieve certain information that you have previously provided to us (for example, your user ID if you ask to be remembered).

The Site may use both session and persistent cookies. The Site may also use “tracer tags,” which are tiny graphic images placed on Site pages or in our e-mails that allow us to determine whether you have performed certain actions. When you access these pages or open e-mail messages, the tags generate a notice of that action to us. These tools allow us to measure response to our communications and improve our web pages. You may manage, block, or delete cookies and other tracking technologies by adjusting your browser's security and privacy settings but, if you do so, you may not be able to use particular features of the Site.

Aggregated Personal Data

We may analyze your Personal Data in aggregate form, which does not identify you personally. We may share this aggregate data with our affiliates, agents, service providers, and business partners. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

Supplemented Data

Supplemental data may be received about you from other sources, including publicly available databases or third parties from whom we have purchased data, in which case we may combine this data with information we already have about you so that we can update, expand, and analyze the accuracy of our records, identify new customers, and provide products and services that may be of interest to you. If you provide us with Personal Data about others, or if others give us your Personal Data, we will only use that information for the specific reason for which it was provided to us.

Sharing Your Personal Data

We may share your Personal Data with third parties without notice to you under certain circumstances including:

  • Service Providers: When we engage a service provider to perform certain business-related functions, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or in the good faith belief that such action or disclosure is necessary or appropriate (i) to operate the Site, (ii) comply with any legal obligation, report unlawful activity, cooperate with law enforcement, or protect against legal liability, (iii) protect and defend our rights, property, personnel, suppliers, agents or licensors, (iv) protect the personal safety of users of the Site or the public, or (v) to enforce or apply our terms of use which can be found at https://www.panopticondesign.net/terms-of-use.
  • Business Transfers: We may share your information in the event of a corporate sale, asset sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution, or similar event, wherein Personal Data is part of the assets that are transferred.
  • Aggregated Information: We may aggregate Personal Data and provide it to our existing or potential business partners (or other third parties) in response to a government request, or to other third parties for lawful purposes.
  • Other Purposes: We may also disclose your information (i) to fulfill the purpose for which you provide it, (ii) for any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information, or (iii) with your consent.

Email Marketing

We offer you control over your privacy preferences regarding email. You may update these preferences at any time. Email recipients may opt out by following the “unsubscribe” instructions included in the email message, or by e-mailing us at catalogue@rafaelsoriano.org with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject field of the e-mail. Please allow sufficient time for your preferences to be processed.

Security

We take precautions to safeguard your Personal Data against unauthorized access or disclosure, including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or stored on a server can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you.

Data Retention

We retain Personal Data only for as long as necessary to provide the products and services you have requested and thereafter for a variety of legitimate legal or business purposes. These might include retention periods:

  • mandated by law, contract, or similar obligations applicable to our business operations;
  • for preserving, resolving, defending, or enforcing our legal/contractual rights; or
  • needed to maintain adequate and accurate business and financial records.

If you have any questions about the security or retention of your Personal Data, please, Contact Us.

Access, Update, or Delete Your Personal Data

You can access, view, update your Personal Data by sending us an email at catalogue@rafaelsoriano.org to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect. If you wish to port your Personal Data, please Contact Us. If you make a request to delete or port your Personal Data and that data is necessary for the products or services you have purchased, the request will be honored only to the extent it is no longer necessary for any products or services purchased or required for our legitimate business purposes or legal or contractual requirements.

If we learn that we collected Personal Data from children under the age of 18, we will take steps to delete that information as soon as possible.

Privacy Practices of Third Parties

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, products, and services. These third-party Sites may place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer or personal device.

'Do Not Track' Notifications

Some browsers allow you automatically to notify websites you visit not to track you using a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many websites and online services, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you may wish to visit www.allaboutdnt.com.
