Last Updated: May 11, 2026

This privacy policy (this "Privacy Policy") is between you and Digital Promise Global, also known as Digital Promise ("we", or "us"), and describes how we collect, use, and share information we obtain about you through your use of our websites located at www.digitalpromise.org, www.digitalpromise.net, www.digitalpromiseglobal.org, and any of our other websites, their respective subdomains, and software applications containing a link to these Terms (collectively, our "Site").

By using any of our Site, you are consenting to the collection, use, and sharing of your information in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Please do not use our Site if you do not agree with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not govern our use of any information you provide to us when you call us, write to us, or communicate with us in any manner other than through the Site.

1. Collection of Personal Information

We collect personally identifiable information (such as first and last name, email address, zip code, occupation, and organizational affiliation) ("Personal Information") provided to us voluntarily through our Site. In addition, we collect Personal Information you choose to send to us in other ways, such as if you send a message through the "Contact Us" link on our Site. We do not intentionally collect any government identification numbers, payment or other banking information, religious affiliation or medical information. Please do not submit your Personal Information to us if you do not want us to collect, use, and share it under the terms of this Privacy Policy.

2. Use of Personal Information

We may use your Personal Information to provide you with information and services related to the Public Goods in the repository available through this Site, and to identify you as the source of Your Uploaded Public Goods to Downloaders and other users of the Site, to send you newsletters, updates, promotional materials, and notices (for example, in the form of email messages or mailings), and otherwise to respond to your requests. We also may use your Personal Information (both on an individual basis and in the aggregate) to enhance the operation of our Site, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze use of our Site, update and enhance our records, maintain and improve our Site, and for other purposes identified on portions of our Site where information is collected. We also may use Personal Information to contact you regarding us or our Site, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, and enforce and investigate your compliance with our agreements with you, including the Terms, for any of our Site. We will not provide your personal information to unaffiliated marketers.

3. Sharing of Personal Information

We share the Personal Information we collect among our affiliates and, as described below, with certain non-affiliated entities ("third parties").

  • Third Party Service Providers. From time to time, we may enter into relationships with third-party service providers to help with certain aspects of our operations, which may require disclosure of your Personal Information to them. For example, we may use a third party to: (a) send information to you or otherwise communicate with you (via telephone, email, or mail) about us or our Site, such as in our newsletters; (b) help us collect data relating to your use of our Site; and (c) provide portions of the services on our Site or to otherwise perform other work that we may need to outsource.

  • Legal Obligations. We may disclose your Personal Information to law enforcement and other government authorities, and to other third parties when compelled to do so by any government authorities or as otherwise required or permitted by law, including in response to court orders and subpoenas. We may also disclose your Personal Information in the event that we have reason to believe someone is causing or threatening to cause injury to or interfere with our rights or property (including by enforcing and investigating your compliance with our agreements with you, including the Terms, relating to any of our Site), the rights or property of others, the operation of our Site, Site users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities; as well as to protect against fraud.

  • Transfers. We may disclose your Personal Information in the event that we undergo (or are in discussions regarding) an acquisition, merger, sale, reorganization, consolidation, termination, dissolution, winding up, liquidation, or sale of assets that results in a third party's acquisition of us or our assets, and your Personal Information may be among the transferred assets in such a transaction.

4. Automatically Collected Usage Information

We may, by using "cookies," pixel tags, Flash cookies, and other technologies, collect information relating to the way you use and access our Site, such as what pages you visit, what type of browser you are using, your IP address, your location, the information for which you search, the domain name of the website from which you came. Although in most cases this "usage" information is not identifiable to you personally, in certain cases it could also be considered Personal Information.

  • An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the internet.

  • A "cookie" is a small data file stored on your computer, not on our Site, that enables our systems to recognize your browser and store information (such as log-in credentials); you are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but in that case, some portions of our Site may not operate properly.

  • A Flash cookie (also called a local shared object) is also stored on your computer, not on our Site, and enables our systems to recognize your computer and store information about your activities and preferences; you can learn more about Flash cookies and how to manage them at www.adobe.com.

  • A pixel tag (also called a web beacon) is an invisible tag on portions of our Site that, when those portions are accessed, generates a notice with information about the visit, such as the IP address of your computer, the time and date of your visit, and the URL of the website page on which the pixel tag was viewed.

We use the information we automatically collect to operate and improve our Site. For example, we may use such data to identify which Site especially interest our users as a group, to better understand the demographics of our users, and to analyze other trends that can help us improve the quality of our Site.

We may share aggregated data concerning our users with partners or potential partners and others interested in how our Site are used. By using our Site, you consent to our automatic collection, use, and sharing of information as described above.

When third parties help us to collect data relating to your use of our Site, they also may collect information automatically, using your IP address, or through cookies, pixel tags, Flash cookies, and similar technologies. These third parties collect this data to help us analyze usage of our Site and better manage content on the Site by giving us information about the usage and popularity of our content and features. These third parties may collect information (which may be considered Personal Information) about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use our Site. Collection, use, and sharing of information by these third parties are governed by the privacy policies of those third parties, not this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third parties.

Our Site does not currently respond to "do not track" signals or other mechanisms that provide an individual user with the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of that user's Personal Information involving online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services.

5. Security

We have implemented measures to help protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no security system can guarantee against unauthorized access and we therefore cannot fully eliminate security risks with respect to your Personal Information. You should be mindful of these security limitations when you submit Personal Information to us. If applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty with respect to your Personal Information, you agree that the standard used to measure our compliance with that duty will be one of intentional misconduct.

6. Other Websites or Applications

Our Site may contain links to other websites or may allow you to use third party services (such as payment processing services or social networking services). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any other websites or service providers. Information you submit to those websites and service providers is subject to the privacy policies of those websites and service providers, not this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these other websites and service providers before you submit any information to them.

7. Marketing Emails

If you have provided us with your email address to subscribe to our newsletter, we may periodically send you emails that promote or otherwise contain information relating to our organization. When you receive emails from us, you may indicate a preference to "opt out" of, and thus to stop receiving, further emails from us by following the "unsubscribe" instructions provided in the email(s) you receive. Even if you request not to be contacted by us, we may use your contact information to send you crucial information about our Site, including information about changes to this Privacy Policy or the Terms.

8. Accessing, Updating or Deleting Your Personal Information

You may request that we update or delete your Personal Information at any time by contacting us at the email address listed in Section 12 below. If you are legally entitled to receive a copy of the Personal Information we have about you, you may request a copy of such Personal Information and we will comply with such request as required under applicable Law. We will use reasonable efforts to fulfill your request to change or delete or provide a copy of your information in a timely manner. We may keep a record of all information that is changed or deleted, and we may determine what may be changed or deleted. For example, if we are required to keep track of certain kinds of transactions, you may be prevented from changing or deleting information relevant for those transactions. Even if we delete or change your information from our 'live' database, it may still be stored on other databases (including those kept for archival purposes). Please note that if you delete certain information, you may be required to re-submit that information in order to use certain features of our Site in the future. We are not responsible for changing or deleting information about you from the databases of any third parties.

9. International Users

Because the Internet is global, information about you that we collect or that you submit may be transferred to, processed in, and held in countries (including the United States) other than the one in which you reside. WHEN YOU SUBMIT INFORMATION TO US THROUGH THE SITE, THAT INFORMATION (INCLUDING ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION) WILL BE PROCESSED IN THE UNITED STATES. THE DATA PROTECTION AND OTHER PRIVACY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES MAY NOT AFFORD THE SAME LEVEL OF PROTECTION AS THE LAWS OF CERTAIN OTHER COUNTRIES. BY USING ANY OF THE SITE FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES, YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO THE TRANSFER AND PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, AS COLLECTED BY THE SITE AND USED, PROCESSED, AND DISCLOSED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY, TO THE UNITED STATES.

10. Privacy of Children

Our Site are not directed at minors. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from, or maintain any Personal Information regarding, persons under the age of 13.

11. Updates to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time. We will post notice of such changes on our Site or will email notice of such changes to you at the email address we have on file for you. If you continue to use our Site after a change is made, your use indicates your agreement that you have read, understood, and accepted the changed Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to any change to this Privacy Policy, you should stop using our Site and request removal of your information from our databases.
