This is the privacy policy for Manitos. Manitos respects your privacy. Below is an outline of the information that Manitos gathers, how it’s used, and how it’s protected.

If you choose to correspond with us through e-mail, we may retain the content of your e-mail messages together with your e-mail address and our responses.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are a technology which can be used to provide you with tailored information from a website. A cookie is an element of data that a website can send to your browser, and which your browser may then store on your system. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. Doing this will allow you to decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept cookies or not.
Cookies sent by this website are used by ourselves and APNI and nobody else and only for the purposes of our navigation system and to store your authentication credentials when you login.
Certain Disclosures
We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law or comply with legal process served on us or affiliated parties; (b) protect and defend our rights and property, this website, the users of this website, and/or our affiliated parties; or (c) act under circumstances to protect the safety of users of this website, us, or third parties. Also, as we develop our organization, we may merge into or join other organizations. In such a transaction, user information may be one of the transferred assets, but it would remain subject to the promises made in any applicable privacy policy (unless, of course, a user consents otherwise).
Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions
If you choose to visit this website, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service Agreement, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the State of New York. If you have any concern about privacy at this website, please contact us at info@manitosusa.org with a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it.
Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service Agreement will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our website frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.
Notification Procedures
It is the policy of Manitos to provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for other service-related purposes, to our website users via e-mail notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on our website home page, www.manitosusa.org, as determined by Manitos in our sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Manitos reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our website users.
Data Security
Information collected by this website is kept on a dedicated server hosted by APNI. We use JustGive.org to process donations, which uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) online technology to encrypt the data you provide.
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our website (including, without limitation, the APNI and JustGive websites) nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other websites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our website. Please remember that when you visit any other website (including using a link to go from our website to another website), our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link on our website (including, without limitation, the APNI and JustGive websites), are subject to that website’s own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
You may request access to all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain in our database, and you may request corrections to such information via a request that credibly shows error, by e-mailing info@manitosusa.org.
Your Consent
By using our website you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it frequently. If we materially change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our website to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
