Privacy Policy

Lotsa Helping Hands respects your desire for privacy. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Lotsa Helping Hands or Lotsa Helping Hands representatives and affiliates maintain facilities. This information is highly protected and is stored in a secure and controlled environment. By using this site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country and you consent to the terms of our Privacy Policy. The United States Department of Commerce and the European Commission have agreed on a set of data protection principles and frequently asked questions (the ‘Safe Harbor Framework’) to enable U.S. companies to satisfy European Union (EU) law requirements for adequate protection of personal information transferred from the European Economic Area to the United States. Lotsa Helping Hands abides by the privacy principles set forth in the Safe Harbor Framework, which can be found at the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Web site at http://www.export.gov/safeharbor.

How Lotsa Helping Hands will protect your personal information

Notice, Choice, and Onward Transfers. Lotsa Helping Hands requests general demographic information in the sign-up process. This information is limited to reporting purposes only. Phone numbers, email addresses, and postal addresses are not shared for demographic reports with outside entities. If you join a community that was created from the web site service of one of our Partner organizations, the Partner's name is prominently displayed on each page of the web site. In such case, we may share only your name and email address with that Partner only, and the Partner may communicate with you about activities associated only with it, but you will have the opportunity to opt-out of receiving further communications from the Partner if you wish.

Data Security. Lotsa Helping Hands takes data security seriously and has put in place appropriate physical and electronic procedures to protect and secure the personal information that you share with us. Lotsa Helping Hands stores information internally in a controlled, secure environment.

Data Integrity. Lotsa Helping Hands will use personal information only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected, which is to provide communication among the members of the private community to which you belong.

Access. All individuals providing personal information must agree to these Terms of Use, and in so doing, have access to their personal information to correct, amend, or delete. If for some reason an individual no longer has the ability to sign in to a community to which they were a member, upon request, Lotsa Helping Hands grants individuals reasonable access to personal information that it holds about them, and will take reasonable steps to permit individuals to correct, amend, or delete information that is demonstrated to be inaccurate or incomplete.

Enforcement. Lotsa Helping Hands utilizes the self-assessment approach to assure its compliance with this Privacy Policy, and periodically verifies that the policy is accurate, comprehensive for the information intended to be covered, prominently displayed, completely implemented, and in conformity with the Safe Harbor Framework.

Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our web site.
