What type of information does OITF collect?
There are two basic types of information that OITF might collect: personal and non-personal information.
As you browse the OITF website, you may opt to provide OITF with personal information such as your name, address, phone number, or email address.
OITF may also collect non-personal information from you such as an internet protocol address (typically referred to as an “IP address” and defined below) and browsing variables (like your web browser, referral links, or how much time you spent at our website). Although this information may be used to identify you, OITF typically uses this information to improve your experience and the experience of other visitors to our website. OITF typically does not but may use cookies to collect this type of information.
What’s a cookie? A cookie is a small data file that individual websites store on your computer’s hard drive – if your web browser permits. The website can later retrieve that cookie to let us know you’ve been to our site before, among other things. Cookies typically make your use of the site easier, make the site run more smoothly, and help us to maintain a secure site. Many websites use cookies. You are free to decline our cookies if your browser permits. Depending on the cookies and your browser some parts of our site may not work properly if you do that.
What’s an IP address? An IP address is a unique number, assigned to each and every computer and other device on the Internet. Your computer, your phone, your e-reader, and other electronic devices, are all assigned IP addresses.
When does OITF collect this information?
We collect non-personal information from you as you use any of the pages on our website. We collect personal information from you only when you specifically provide it to us.
How does OITF use the information we collect?
OITF uses information from different site visitors in different ways. We use information provided to us through the donation process in accordance with the Donor Privacy Policy; we use information provided to us by partner organizations with OvaryIt LLC and other healthcare providers to help individuals obtain services.
We may also use your personal and non-personal information in the following ways:
We also reserve the right to use non-personal information, such as an IP address, to identify a user when we believe it is necessary to protect the compelling interests of our websites, the individuals that we serve, partner organizations, our donors, our employees, or others, or to comply with laws, court orders, or law enforcement requests.
Does OITF share my information?
OITF may share your personal and non-personal information with our partnered third-party marketing firm. We do not sell or rent the personal information of our general website users for profit. Additionally, we do not share mobile phone numbers unless you specifically authorize us to do so (or unless we are required to do so by applicable law or regulation).
Does OITF track my online activity while I’m not on the OITF site?
Cookies and other technology may be used to track non-personal information about your web-browsing habits. For example, if a significant portion of our visitors all browse to the same website immediately after visiting us, we may use this information to improve your experience at our site.
OITF respects web browser “do not track” signals and other mechanisms that provide you the ability to opt out of having your personal information or online activities collected. But remember, unless you have selected the “do not track” function in your web browser, third parties (not just OITF) may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites.
How does OITF secure my personal information?
OITF is committed to ensuring that your personal information is secure. Your trust in us is important, so we have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. Records containing personal information are stored at secure facilities;
our websites use SSL (a tool used to verify the legitimacy of a website); and we train our employees on how to treat your data securely. Additionally, when OITF shares your information with third parties, OITF takes reasonable steps to ensure that third party has sufficient safeguards in place to protect your information.
Will you use my information to contact me?
Yes. From time to time, a OITF employee or volunteer will reach out to you to confirm your contact information and ensure you are taking advantage of our programs and services. We will also send you regular information regarding programs and services available in your area.

Minor Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to OITF supporters who are under the age of 18. Although OITF may encourage and allow minors, with parental or guardian consent, to register through this Site to participate in age-appropriate activities like requesting educational resources, registering for an upcoming educational event, or registering as a Student Ambassador, OITF does not collect more information than is necessary to enable minor participation in such activities. With parental consent, OITF may collect information from minors such as: name, address, email address, account information, school, messages send to us through our chat interface, and content they create themselves. That information allows OITF to fulfill requested transactions, respond to questions about our website and programs, facilitate their participation in activities and other programs, keep records, or o otherwise customize or enhance the website experience for minors. Note that when information about a minor child is provided directly to OITF, OITF is committed to using industry-standard security measures, including encryption, firewalls, and physical security to protect minor data. In short, OITF applies the same security measures to minor data as we do for our general supporters but uses the data for more limited purposes.
