What is Personal Information?

When this Privacy Policy uses the term “personal information”, we mean information that identifies a particular individual, such as the individual’s full or partial name, postal address, email address and telephone numbers. Some jurisdictions may call personal identifiable information “personal data” or “personally identifying information,” and may include opinions about or related to a user within the definition of personal information.

The Lansing Foundation collects personal information that is voluntarily provided by you when you explore the site or affiliate sites, make a donation, fill out a contact form on the website, or communicate with us by mail, telephone or electronically.

An IP address is associated with the access point though with you enter the internet, and is typically controlled by your Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) or your company.

We reserve the right to collect, use and disclose your personal information without consent where required or permitted by law.

Otherwise, personal information will be collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the form of consent required by applicable law and its use will be limited to the objectives for which it was collected as described herein. The form of your consent can vary from implied consent to express consent, depending upon the circumstances and the sensitivity of the type of information collected. We will rely on implied consent when we can reasonably conclude that you have given your consent by your action (e.g., by giving us your name and contact information so that we may contact you or add you to an email subscription list) or inaction (e.g., by not exercising an ability to opt-out that is provided to you at the time your contact information is collected). This Privacy Policy identifies the purposes for which your personal information is collected, used and disclosed. Additional consent will be obtained from you should we wish to use or disclose your personal information for any additional purpose.
