User Agreement and Privacy Policy
Goodwill Industries International (GII) recognizes the importance of protecting information we may collect from visitors to our site. Any personal information processed by GII in connection with this Privacy Policy is controlled by GII, which is considered the “data controller” of your personal information under the European Union and UK data protection law.  Personal information means details, which identify you or could be used to identify you, such as your name and contact information. It may also include information about how you use our website. GII will only process your personal information where we have a legal basis to do so. The legal basis for GII’s use of your personal information is because you have consented to GII using your information for a particular purpose.
Our policy is to use the information we acquire from visitors to our sites for internal purposes only, and we maintain appropriate security measures to keep this information private. Your browser, however, does automatically tell us the type of computer and operating system you are using.
Users can visit the site without revealing any information about themselves. If one chooses to give us personal information via the Internet for the purposes of correspondence, then it is our intent to let you know how we will use such information.
If users tell us that they do not wish to have this information used as a basis for further contact, we will respect those wishes. If you agree to receive information or communication from GII, you can change your mind at any time by going to goodwill.org, logging in to your account and changing your preferences. We do keep track of the domains from which people visit us. We analyze this data for trends and statistics, and then we discard it. We do not share information web users provide with third parties for commercial purposes.
GII takes precautions to keep the user information disclosed to us secure. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.
If users have questions about the types of information collected on this web site or would like to request a copy of their information or request a  correction or deletion of any information collected, then please contact us at [email protected] or Goodwill Industries International 15810 Indianola Drive, Rockville, MD 20855 Attn: Legal Department.
Use of Cookies
Certain sections of the GII web site use “cookies” to store user information. A cookie is a small string of text that a web site can send to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your e-mail address. Cookies help us understand which parts of our web sites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how long they spend there. We use cookies to analyze traffic patterns so we can improve the site.
Cookies were originally designed to help a web site distinguish a user’s browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. If you are just browsing goodwill.org, a cookie identifies only your browser but you do not have to accept the cookie to continue browsing the site. It is possible to set your browser to inform you when a cookie is being placed – then you have the opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie.
International Data Transfers
GII operates in accordance with laws of the United States. Visitors to our website should be aware that the laws of the United States may differ from those of your country of residence. By using this site, and/or providing us with your personal information, you: (i) consent to the transfer of any information you provide through the site to the United States or any other country or jurisdiction in our discretion, and to the processing of your personal information in such countries and jurisdictions; and (ii) acknowledge that U.S. law or the laws of other countries or jurisdictions in which we transfer or process personal information may be a different or a lower standard of protection for personal data than the laws of your country.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, contact GII using the contact information provided above. If you do not agree with these terms of this Privacy Policy, you may not use the site. GII reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time without notice.
