Privacy policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

Maru Blood respects the privacy of every visitor to our websites and every user of our mobile apps. Your privacy is a priority, and we go to great lengths to protect it. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use information about our online visitors. We know you care about your information and we want you to be fully informed about our practices.

This Policy may be changed or updated from time to time. By visiting the Maru Blood at one of our websites or using one of our mobile apps, you accept the practices described in this Policy.

The Data We Collect

Our websites and mobile apps provide convenient ways for you to access our services and learn about important Maru Blood opportunities and events. We collect information about our online visitors both directly from our visitors and indirectly from other companies that provide data to us. We use this information to communicate with our supporters and clients and process their transactions. We do not sell it to other organizations.

When you use our websites or apps to search Blood Donor or Blood Bank, we may ask you for your name, address, phone number(s), and other information relevant to the transaction.

We obtain information about our online visitors from other sources as well. We use this data to help us engage with people who may be interested in participating in Maru Blood activities or contributing to the Maru Blood mission.

We also collect non-personal information about our online visitors using “cookies”, pixels, web beacons, and other technologies that operate automatically when you visit our website. We use this information to give our website/Application visitors a more relevant online experience and to help us make website/Application improvements. The information helps us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our online visitors are going, and how long they spend there. If you do not want us to collect information using cookies, you can disable this function in your browser. If you block cookies from us, however, you may not be able to see personalized content and our website/Application may not function optimally.

How We Secure Data

We use a variety of security measures to protect your data. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access to and improper use of personally identifiable information.

We protect the security of credit card transactions using a number of measures such as encryption, access controls, network firewalls, and physical security. These measures make it extremely difficult for anyone to intercept the credit card information you send to us. When we work with other companies to process credit card transactions, those companies also use encryption and other appropriate security measures.

No website or electronic data can ever be completely secure, but we are always working to maintain up-to-date and appropriate security mechanisms.

How We Use Your Information

If you provide the Maru Blood with personal information when you visit our websites or use our mobile apps, we may use the information in our programs and activities for Blood Donor Information. We may enter your information into one of our databases so we can contact you to obtain your input, provide information about our programs and events, request donations, or provide a more personalized online experience.

The Maru Blood does not sell, trade, or share our donors’ personally identifiable information with any other entity, except as described below. We do not send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations unless the donor has given us specific permission to do so.

On occasion, the Maru Blood may share your information with our vendors and other partners that help us with our activities and programs. We also disclose information as required by law.

We Care About Doing it Right

The Maru Blood is committed to accuracy and precision in processing your information. We have procedures to check for errors, and our systems are periodically audited to make sure we process your information securely and accurately.
