•Privacy

Project Renewal is committed to transparency and accountability for its staff, clients, and patients. Below please find our organizational privacy policies and practices regarding supporter information, Personal Health Information (PHI), and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

Privacy Policies

We collect personal identifying information directly from you for reasons that are discussed in our Project Renewal HMIS Privacy Policy. We may be required to collect some personal information by law or by organizations that give us money to operate this program. The personal information we collect is important to run our programs, to improve services for persons experiencing homelessness, and to better understand the needs of persons experiencing homelessness. We only collect information that we consider to be appropriate.

Project Renewal Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) is a document which describes how medical and health information about our patients may be used and disclosed, and how patients can exercise a number of rights granted under HIPAA (available in English and Spanish).

We encourage you to review the NPP and become familiar with how your personal health information (PHI) will be used and safeguarded, as well as rights regarding the protection of your personal health information.

You can have access to our site without providing any personally identifying information. Project Renewal only collects personally identifying information when you voluntarily submit it, such as when you e-mail comments to the Site, sign up for email updates or make an online donation.

Our registration forms require users to give us contact information that includes name, email address, format preference (HTML or text), address, and similar information. We do not request or store sensitive information from our visitors such as credit card or social security numbers.

All information provided to Project Renewal online is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a proven coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to us. We also protect account information by placing it on a secure portion of our Site that is only accessible by certain employees of Project Renewal. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information.

Project Renewal is not responsible for the content of its social media followers or of those that we are following. Project Renewal makes a reasonable best effort to follow feeds of individuals or entities that consistently provide information about nonprofit governance, management, policy, technology or other relevant industry topics. Due to the dynamic nature of social media tools, Project Renewal cannot guarantee the accuracy of the content of its followers or of those that we follow. Account we follow on social media does not represent the organization’s perspective or official view on any topic or issue.

When you make a gift to Project Renewal, we will retain any personal information that you share with us, including your name, address, and/or email address. We will use this information to send you a written acknowledgement of your gift and to keep you informed about our progress, events, and fundraising efforts. Project Renewal respects the wishes of our donors regarding confidentiality. The names of individuals, foundations, and businesses may be listed as supporters and partners of Project Renewal on our website and in publications with their consent. We will not share your name, address or e-mail address with other organizations.
