We also collect data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. Some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:

• We may collect information such as language, zip code, area code, referrer URL, location, and the time zone so that we can improve our outreach and advertising.
• We may collect information regarding user activities on our website. This information is aggregated as needed to help us understand which parts of our website are of most interest. Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

We do combine non-personal information with personal information. If the information becomes combined, such information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.

Use of your information.

We use your data to provide you with information and updates about our work and services. Specifically, we use your data to:

• Communicate with you by responding to your requests, comments, and questions. If you contact us with questions or concerns about our work or services, we may use your personal information to respond.
• Send you emails and other communications.

Children’s Privacy

The Lithuanian Foundation site is not directed to children under the age of 13, although children of any age may become members when a donation is made in their name by an adult. If we become aware that a child under 13 is personally using our site, we will delete any data that may have been collected about that child.

Third-Party Sites and Services

We share your personal information with the following trusted third parties to provide, improve, protect and analyze our grants and scholarships:

• Foundant Technologies (grants and scholarship software)
• PayPal (payment and donation processing)

These third parties will access and use your information only to perform tasks on our behalf in compliance with our Privacy Policy.

Data Retention

We keep information about you and your use of our services for as long as necessary for our legitimate business interests in understanding stakeholder interest and usage patterns over time, and other or legal reasons described above. If you’d like to request that we delete your data, you can do so by contacting us at  admin@ltihfund.org

Opting Out of Communications

Withdrawing Consent – You have a right to ask us to stop using or limit our use of your personal data in certain circumstances-for example, if we have no lawful basis to keep using your data, if you think your personal data is inaccurate, or if you have given us consent to use certain data and you’ve changed your mind. If you believe that The Lithuanian Foundation has no lawful basis for using your personal data, or believe there are other inaccuracies in your personal data, please let us know by contacting us at admin@lithfund.org

In the event of a data breach, we will promptly take steps to mitigate the breach and if required will notify relevant organizations, individuals and/or authorities. You understand, however, that no data transmission over the internet or stored on a server can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us and cannot be responsible for the theft, loss, destruction or inadvertent disclosure of user data.
