PrivacyPolicy

This Privacy Policy describes how Radical Philanthropies ("UkraineNow," "we", “us” or "our") processes personal information that we obtain or generate through our digital properties that link to this Privacy Policy, including our website [and mobile application], as well as through the provision of our services, social media, our marketing activities and other activities described in this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Service”).  UkraineNow may provide additional or supplemental privacy policies to individuals for specific services that we offer at the time we collect personal information.

Radical Philanthropies is a non-profit organization that operates UkraineNow. The Service includes a platform operated by UkraineNow at https://www.ukrainenow.org/ (our “Website”).  The Service was created to organize a global decentralized effort to help Ukrainians and other nations and individuals deal with the humanitarian crisis and consequences arising from the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine.  The Service connects various Ukrainian refugees with people seeking to help them during this crisis.  This Privacy Policy describes how we process the personal information of refugees (women, children and others who have left or are seeking to leave Ukraine), transporters (people working to transport refugees out of Ukraine, such as drivers), volunteers (individuals helping to develop and implement the Service), hosts (people willing to provide housing or shelter to Ukrainian refugees) and others whose personal information we may process.

Data Processing outside Europe

We are a U.S.-based organization and many of our service providers, advisers, partners or other recipients of data are also based in the U.S. This means that, if you use the Service, your personal information will necessarily be accessed and processed in the U.S. It may also be provided to recipients in other countries outside Europe.  

It is important to note that that the US is not the subject of an ‘adequacy decision’ under the GDPR – basically, this means that the U.S. legal regime is not considered by relevant European bodies to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information, which is equivalent to that provided by relevant European laws. 

Where we share your personal information with third parties who are based outside Europe, we try to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by making sure one of the following mechanisms is implemented: 

• Transfers to territories with an adequacy decision. We may transfer your personal information to countries or territories whose laws have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information by the European Commission or UK Government (as and where applicable) (from time to time).
• Transfers to territories without an adequacy decision. 

• We may transfer your personal information to countries or territories whose laws have not been deemed to provide such an adequate level of protection (e.g. the U.S., see above).  
• However, in these cases:

• We will ensure that transfers within our group will be covered by an agreement entered into by members of the Radical Philanthropy ground (an intra-group agreement) which contractually obliges each member to ensure that personal information receives an adequate and consistent level of protection wherever it is transferred within the Radical Philanthropies group; 
• Where we transfer your personal information outside the Radical Philanthropies group or to third parties who help provide our Service, we will obtain contractual commitments from them to protect your personal information; and 

Where we receive requests for information from law enforcement or regulators, we will carefully validate these requests before personal information is disclosed.  You may contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal information out of Europe.

Web Beacons

We may also use web beacons (which are also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) on our Sites and in our HTML formatted emails to track the actions of users on our Sites and interactions with our emails. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages or within HTML formatted emails. Pixel tags are used to demonstrate that a webpage was accessed or that certain content was viewed, typically to measure the success of our marketing campaigns or engagement with our emails and to compile statistics about usage of the Sites, so that we can manage our content more effectively.

Mobile Application Software Development Kits (SDKs)

We may use third-party software development kits (“SDKs”) in our mobile applications. A SDK is third-party computer code that may be used for a variety of purposes, including to provide us with analytics regarding the use of our mobile applications, to integrate with social media, add features or functionality to our app, or to facilitate online advertising. SDKs may enable third parties to collect information directly via our App.

Your options for controlling what information cookies and similar technologies collect about you include:

• Blocking cookies in your browser.  Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies.  To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings.  Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings.  Please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies, the Sites may not work properly.  For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.  If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Sites. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer or mobile device and you may need to log in every time you visit our Sites.

Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms linked above.
• Blocking advertising ID use in your mobile settings.  Your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes.

If you choose to opt-out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online, but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to opt out, not all companies that serve online behavioral advertising are included in this list, and so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed.
