PRIVACY POLICY

Yamicare and our third-party service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of our site or services. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you (and our third-party service providers may do so on our behalf). Yamicare recognizes the importance of protecting any information we may collect from visitors to our website. Our policy is to use this collected information for internal purposes only, and we maintain fitting security measures to keep this information private and secure.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of this information, we have put in place integrated physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. If a website visitor makes a donation via credit card on our website, credit card transaction data is encrypted as required by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC).  

In addition, donor data is protected through organization safeguards such as a password protected database for which actions in the database are logged by username. This information will not be disclosed to third parties for commercial purposes as Yamicare is committed to protecting our visitors' privacy.

Cookies

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our site and services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities at our Site and Service. There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.

Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Site. This allows us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our Site.

Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We use persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about user activity, and to display advertising both on our Site and on third-party sites.

Disabling Cookies

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our Site who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the Site, but some features may not function.

Third-Party Analytics

We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate the usage of our site.  We also may use other analytic means to evaluate our services.  We use these tools to help us improve our services, performance, and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. We do not share your personal information with these third parties.
