WE VALUE YOUR PRIVACY

Thank you for being interested in us. Families for Effective Autism Treatment, which does business as "FEAT", and its affiliates value your privacy and, as such, we are committed to respecting your privacy and keeping your information confidential, secure and private.

This notice explains what we do with your email address and other personally identifiable information or other information relating to you that can identify you (your “Information”) that we collect through our website or in other initial contacts you may have with us through phones, emails, etc. 

YOUR CONSENT

If you use our website or you provide Information to us, whether on the website or in other ways, you accept the terms in this notice, along with the terms of use you can find on public website here Privacy Policy.

HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION?

We collect Information from you in three main ways:

• We ask you and you provide it to us through our digital forms: website, email surveys, etc.
• We ask you and you provide it to us in phone calls or emails.
• We also collect some Information automatically when someone uses the website (login activity, etc.)

HOW DO WE STORE YOUR INFORMATION?

We keep your Information as long as appropriate. For example, we keep our mailing list current and will keep that Information as long as we send our newsletter and for two years after. For other Information, such as event attendance or analytics on the website, we generally keep it for less time.

WHO HAS ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION?

We are a non-profit organization created to help you learn about autism, not to sell Information for a profit. We want you to feel comfortable using our website, so we do not sell, rent, exchange or lease your Information to non-affiliated third parties.

Nevertheless, we may use non-affiliated third parties to send our newsletter electronically, to process donations and other payments, to host our support meetings (Google Meet or Zoom, zoom.us). If you choose to use our payment platform, Zoom or any other service where you are entering your Information directly on another website we have an hyperlink to on our webiste, we do not control that information, so, if you choose to use that system, please refer to their policies and notices (see below for more information). For the other service providers, if you have provided your information for these purposes, you consent to this use and should also consult their policies published on the websites listed above to understand how your Information can be used in these instances.

In addition, if you attend one of our online support meetings and choose to attend private group zoom discussions, your name (and any comments you choose to make) will be visible to attendees, which may include sponsors, exhibitors and third parties interested in contacting you directly.

Finally, the above refers only to Information. We may use this Information to create aggregate data that no longer contain information that could by itself identify you and share it with third parties who wish to understand us. For example, this includes the statistical aggregation of data for our annual impact report.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?

As a general rule, we use your Information for the purposes it was originally collected – such as to respond to your email or to provide the newsletter, conference or other products or services your requested. In addition, we use your Information principally in the following ways:

• In our day-to-day work for autism awareness, such as to answer your requests, to collect donations, to send our newsletter (which may include information about support services provided) and to market, and (in the case of online meetings) to provide, our content to you;
• To improve the our website, programming and other services we provide, which may include sending you surveys to ask about our current or future services;
• In some cases, to tell you about other opportunities and programming, request donations and tell you adjacent services that may be available and we feel may be of interest to you.

You may opt out of any or all of these communications at any time. Of course, opting out of certain uses may affect the availability of services tied to these uses. In particular, if you choose to use our website, we use technology – Google Analytics or similar – to collect anonymous information about the use of our website, such as tracking the number of visitors, the date and time of their visit, the length of their stay, and which pages they view. We also use technology to determine which web browsers our visitors use and the address from which they accessed the Site. This technology does not identify you personally. It simply enables us to compile statistics about our visitors and their use of our website. We use this anonymous data to improve the content and functionality of our website, to better understand the needs and interests of our visitors, and to improve our communications, programs and services.

Finally, as a non-profit, we are subject to audit by the IRS and certain other federal and state regulators. They may sometimes examine us and get access to Information without any notice to you. We may also give Information to governmental authorities without any notice to you if we feel it is appropriate. We may also feel that we are required by law or that it is appropriate under a legal process (whether or not we started that legal process) to disclose that Information, with or without notice to you – if that is the case, we will disclose it.

We will collect information regarding your family members and it will be stored in our secure online database for contact and support purposes only. Anyone under the age of 18 should not be utilizing our online services and should be directed to a parent/guardian for assistance regarding FEAT information and content.
