Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how the Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation and/or the Elisabeth C. DeLuca Foundation (collectively, the “Foundation” or “we”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you interact with a website or social media page (or other social media presence) that links to this Privacy Policy (collectively “Site”) or when you communicate with us.

We collect personal information from you when you voluntarily provide it to us. This includes when you:

In addition, if we include a Request for Proposal on the Site and you submit a Proposal in response (on behalf of yourself or an organization), we collect any personal information (such as education, qualifications, role(s) and responsibilities) that is included in such response.

Information Collected Via Cookies

When you interact with the Site, certain information about your interaction is automatically collected from your device, browser and/or other computing environment/tools/application via cookies and similar technology (referred to herein simply as “cookies”). A typical cookie is a small text file downloaded to your device that allows our Site to recognize your device. Cookies perform a number of different functions. Cookies provide core website functionality, let you navigate our website efficiently, and help with security and fraud prevention. Cookies may collect your IP address, details about your interaction with our Site (e.g. pages or content accessed), and device-related information (e.g. device type, browser type). 

You may be able to modify your browser setting to disable or reject cookies across the Internet; however, if you do so, some features of our Site may not function properly or may not be available. Please note that, if you choose to use browser settings in this way, you will need to do so on each browser on each device you use to visit our Site. Your browser or device may include “Do Not Track” functionality; please note that we do not respond to such signals at this time.

From Social Media Presence

We maintain a social media presence. You can interact with us through social media, such as by posting content or sharing material on a Site in the form of a social media page (or other social media presence) that we manage. When you interact with us using social media, we receive whatever you post or submit, and in some cases we may also receive information profile-related information from the social media platform such as your social media user ID and profile picture, as may be determined by your privacy settings on the social media platform. We use information received from our social media presence for the same purposes as we use other information you submit as described in this Privacy Policy. Please note that use of social media platforms is governed by the applicable social media operator’s privacy policy and terms of service, which govern the operator’s handling of information you submit on those platforms (including any information you submit on those platforms through our page or other presence).

If at any time you no longer wish to receive these types of communications from us, you may click an unsubscribe link at the bottom of an email from us or you may so notify us using the contact information provided below (although we will still communicate with you to respond to you or otherwise address any issues you raise and as necessary to comply with applicable law).
