Alumni & Caregiver Privacy

This Alumni and Caregiver Privacy Policy applies to warriors and their caregivers who register with ASF to receive the benefits of ARMORED SOULS FOUNDATION’s programs and services. If you register for our programs and services, rest assured that we use industry-standard safeguards to protect your data, including firewalls, physical safeguards, and encryption.

This policy describes how ARMORED SOULS FOUNDATION protects information which warriors and their caregivers provide in conjunction with their registration with ASF, and applies regardless of whether the registration occurred online, over the phone, or in person. Throughout this privacy policy, or the “policy,” warriors and their caregivers who register for ASF’s programs and services may be referred to as “Alumni,” “Caregivers,” or simply, “you.”

This policy may supplement the General User Privacy Policy (above), which covers all users of the ASF website. Although this policy is intended to compliment that General User Privacy Policy, this policy applies specifically to information you provide us in conjunction with your registration or your status as an Alumni or Caregiver. This policy also supplements the Donor Privacy Policy (below), which applies to any information you provide in conjunction a donation to ASF. For example: if you navigate to a donation page on our website and make a contribution to ASF, the information you provide during your donation will be stored in accordance with the Donor Privacy Policy. If you navigate to the registration page and register as an Alumni, that data will be used in accordance with this policy. If you provide us additional information relating to your participation in our programs and services, that information will also be governed by this policy.

It is our goal that you fully understand how we collect information, how we use that information, and the steps we’ve taken to protect that information. We will update this policy from time to time, so make sure to check this page periodically. If you have any questions about this policy, please email us at ASFlegal@armrdsoulsfoundation.org.
