T4H – Technology for Humanity Ltd (together with its affiliates, “T4H,” “we” or “us”) respects the privacy of the users (“User” or “you”) of its website located at www.tforh.com (the “Website”), apps, and platforms (collectively, the “Services”). We are committed to protecting the information we collect and receive. By using the Services, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Privacy Policy, and the terms of this Privacy Policy will govern your use of the Services and any Information that may be collected as a result. If you disagree with any term provided herein, you may not use the Services. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time, so please re-visit this page. In case of any material change, we will post a clear notice on the Website and we’ll send you an email. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective as of the stated “Last Update” written above and your continued use of the Services on or after the Last Update date will constitute acceptance of, and agreement to be bound by, those changes.
1. Collection of Information
Through your use of the Services, we collect both “Personal Information,” which can be used to identify you, and “General Information,” which cannot be used to identify you. Together, Personal Information and General Information are referred to as “Information.” The Information we collect may include:
a. Membership Information. When you use the Services or register for a membership, T4H will collect Personal Information about you, such as your name, email address, demographic information, date of birth, gender, and membership number. In addition, when you use certain Services, we may collect health-related information, such as your blood type.
b. Information You Generate. T4H collects the content of the files and communications that you input, upload, receive, create, and control in using the Services (collectively, “Content”). Examples of Content include text, documents, audio, video, photos, images, software, and other media and files.
c. Cookie Information. “Cookies” are small text files that are placed on your hard drive by a Web server when you access our Services. Our cookie policy explains how we use Cookies.
d. Web beacons. “Web beacons” (also known as web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Services for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Services, to monitor how many visitors view our Services, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike Cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, web beacons are typically embedded invisibly on web pages (or in an e-mail).
e. Log Data and Device Information. We automatically collect Log Data and device information when you access and use the Services. That information includes, among other things: details about how you’ve used the Services (including if you clicked on links to third party applications), Internet Protocol (IP) address, access dates and times, hardware and software information, device information, device event information, unique identifiers, crash data, web browser, the pages you use on the Services, search terms, links clicked on the Services, the page from which you accessed the Services, and cookie data (collectively “Log Data”). This information is gathered for all users. We also may collect information about your online activity. Our goals in collecting this automatic information include helping customize and enhance your user experience and inhibiting fraud. We analyze (and may engage third parties to analyze) Log Data to improve, customize and enhance our Services by expanding their features and functionality and tailoring them to our User’s needs and preferences. We may use a person’s IP address to generate aggregate, non-identifying information about how our Services are used.
f. Information Collected or Received from Third Parties. We may also obtain Information from third parties and sources other than the Services, such as our customers, partners or advertisers, or from other users of the Services as described herein. If we combine or associate Information from other sources with Personal Information that we collect through the Services, we will treat the combined Information as Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
2. Usage of Information

Please be aware, however, that no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or store on the Services and you do so at your own risk. We also cannot guarantee that such Information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

Our Website may contain links to websites and services that are owned or operated by third parties (each, a “Third-party Service”). Any Information that you provide on or to a Third-party Service or that is collected by a Third-party Service is provided directly to the owner or operator of the Third-party Service and is subject to the owner’s or operator’s privacy policy.
