PRIVACY POLICY

The Adolph & Esther Gottlieb Foundation ("the Foundation") takes the security and privacy of its website visitors and applicants extremely seriously.

Both this website, and the web services we use for our applications provided by Foundant Technologies and Submittable, use TLS/SSL encryption using RSA-256 encryption algorithms and have valid SSL Certificates, ensuring both that all materials on this website are verifiably from their claimed sources, and that interactions with this website are encrypted and therefore confidential.

The information the Foundation collects from grant applicants, and which each applicant submits voluntarily, is used exclusively for the purposes of processing grant applications.

GENERAL DATA PRIVACY AND THE GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (“GDPR”)

The GDPR protects personal data collected from citizens of European Union Member States. The Foundation collects and stores certain personal data through our website or over the phone for the purposes of processing grant applications and responding to inquiries.

In order for the Foundation to collect this information, you must first consent to the collection of your personal data. Consent is given upon applying to either of our grant programs or when offered voluntarily over the phone.

The Foundation will only use your personal data for the purposes mentioned above. The Foundation will privately store your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which the personal data was collected and processed, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements.

PERSONAL DATA

The term “personal data” includes information such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, IP address, browser cookies, and therefore the general location from which you are browsing this website. Personal information does not include data from which you can no longer be identified due to encryption or anonymity.

The Foundation has taken measures to limit collection of personal data. We have, for the time being, disabled SquareSpace Analytics Cookies to prevent the over-collection of personal data. This means that any information collected from your visit to this website is highly generalized and is utilized only for the confidential review of our website's functionality as it pertains to the Foundation's operations.

Should the Foundation opt to change this in the future, the Foundation will provide an alert on this website informing all visitors of this change and that cookies are enabled.

Please be advised that the Foundation utilizes a few digital tools and service providers, all of whom have taken the utmost care to be GDPR compliant. All details on their operations are provided in their privacy policies respectively:
