Privacy Policy
LAST UPDATED: JANUARY 01, 2021
Love Thy Neighbor Institute (“LTNI”, “we”, or “us”) is a nonprofit organization that is committed to our corporate values. These values embody excellence and integrity, and that includes how we manage your privacy. This Policy is provided to inform you of the ways in which LTNI collects, uses, stores, transfers and discloses your personal information. By providing your information, you agree to your personal information being processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time (as noted in the date above).
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
LTNI collects some anonymous information that cannot be traced back to a specific individual (when that person is not signed in with an account). For example, our web servers automatically record the IP address (the general location where the user is logged) of each visitor to our Website, lovethyneighborinstitute.com and ltni.org, and tracks how many people visit the Website. This anonymous information is used to administer and specialize the Website more effectively and gain general information about the backgrounds and sources of visitors.
LTNI may ask you to provide personal information that identifies who you are. We require this information when you create an account, submit an inquiry to us, become a partner, make a donation or purchase, or engage with us for promotional purposes. Such information may include your name, postal address, phone number, email address, date of birth, marital status, other demographic information, or credit card information. LTNI limits the personal information it collects to that which is reasonable under the circumstances, and we only collect your personal information with your consent.
We use your personal information for the purposes we state or imply when it is collected, and we may otherwise use your personal information where permissible by law, for example to respond to an emergency, or in the course of an investigation into illegal behavior.
COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
LTNI uses cookies as followed:
- Authenticating and identifying you on our websites so we may provide you the services you requested, including location services.
- Keeping track of your information, such as your favorites, shopping cart, wish lists, etc.
- Measuring your use of the website so that we may tailor your experience to your interests, and improve our service on the Website, apps or social media platforms.
- To help us keep your account, data and the website safe and secure.
Some browsers have “do not track” features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. These functions are not uniform. Note that if you disable cookies certain features on our sites may not work. If you block or reject cookies, not all of the tracking described in this Policy will stop.
ANTI-SPAM
LTNI limits our communications to a minimum and endeavor to give you the opportunity to opt in to any marketing or informative communications that we send.
These communications may include emails relating to your transactions on the LTNI website. You may also elect to receive certain media, campaign or marketing email communications, in accordance with your subscription preferences, and from which you may unsubscribe at any time.
Even if you have opted out of receiving promotional communications from us, please be aware that we may still contact you for other purposes. For example, we may contact you to provide communications you have consented to receive, regarding the products you have requested or services we provide to you, or if you contact us with an inquiry.
INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE
LTNI will not rent, sell, lease, or share personal information with other organizations, except in response to subpoenas, court orders, legal processes, or to establish and/or exercise legal rights.

Occasionally LTNI uses trusted third-party service providers to help us collect and process information. These third-party Processors may have access to, store, or process Personal Data or Client Data as part of providing those services for LTNI. We limit the information provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions, and our contracts with them require them to maintain the confidentiality of such information and conform to our privacy standards. Some of these third parties may be located outside of the country you reside in, and as a result, that country’s courts, governments or law enforcement agencies could obtain disclosure of your information in accordance with that country’s laws.

We will protect it with same protocols listed above.
