The Upswing Fund respects the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit TheUpswingFund.org, including any other media form or mobile website related or connected thereto (collectively, the “site”). Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.
This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected through the web site located at the URL: www.TheUpswingFund.org; whether accessed via computer, mobile device, or other technology.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through the Site, how such information may be used and/or shared with others, how we safeguard it, and how you may access and control its use in connection with our marketing communications and activities.
The Upswing Fund strives to collect, use, and disclose user data in a manner consistent with the privacy and data security laws of the countries in which it does business. Because of the differences among these jurisdictions, The Upswing Fund has adopted a Privacy Policy that creates a common core of values, policies, and procedures intended to achieve nearly universal compliance, supplemented with alternative or additional policies or implementation procedures applicable in those jurisdictions with unique requirements. This Privacy Policy establishes a minimum global standard for collecting, using, and protecting information that The Upswing Fund collects from users of www.TheUpswingFund.org.
While this Privacy Policy is intended to describe the broadest range of our information processing activities, those processing activities may be more limited in some jurisdictions based on the restrictions of their laws. For example, the laws of a particular country may limit the types of personal information we can collect or the manner in which we process that information. In those instances, we adjust our internal policies and practices to reflect the requirements of local law and local laws will prevail over terms in this Privacy Policy.
Information You Provide To Us. When you use the Site, we or our service providers may collect Personal Information (information that could reasonably be used to contact you or to identify you personally) such as your name and e-mail address. We may also collect Personal Information submitted to us in connection with job applications through the Site.
Information Collected Automatically Usage Information. Whenever you visit or interact with the Site, The Upswing Fund, as well as any third-party advertisers and/or service providers, may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how the Site is accessed and used (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include, in part, browser type, operating system, the page served, the time, and the preceding page views. This statistical data provides us with information about the use of the Site, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on the Site, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they “click” on. This information helps us keep our website fresh and interesting to our visitors and tailor content to a visitor’s interests.
Device Identifiers. The Upswing Fund may also automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for the computer, mobile device, technology, or other device (collectively, “Device”) you use to access the Site. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a web site or its servers, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. We may use a Device Identifier to, among other things, administer the Site, help diagnose problems with our servers, analyze trends, track users’ web page movements, help identify, and gather broad demographic or firmagraphic information for aggregate use.
Cookies; Pixel Tags. The technologies used on the Site to collect Usage Information, including Device Identifiers, may include but are not limited to: cookies (data files placed on a Device when it is used to visit the Site), mobile analytics software, and pixel tags (transparent graphic image, sometimes called a web beacon or tracking beacon, placed on a web page or in an email, which indicates that a page or email has been viewed). Cookies may also be used to associate you with social networking sites and, if you so choose, enable interaction between your activities on the Site and your activities on such social networking sites. We, or our vendors, may place cookies or similar files on your Device for security purposes, to facilitate site navigation and to personalize your experience while visiting our Site (such as allowing us to select which content, ads or offers are most likely to appeal to you, based on your interests, preferences, location, or demographic or firmagraphic information). A pixel tag may tell your browser to get content from another server.
Similarly, we use Google Analytics to help us track and analyze usage of our Site, using cookies, pixels and other tracking technologies.

In addition, the offers we provide when you visit us may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests. Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, so note that our systems are not configured to recognize Do Not Track headers or signals from some or all browsers.
