you request and the date and time you request them. We use this information to
generate statistics and measure site activity to improve the usefulness of the
site to our visitors.

The CCDC may collect email addresses and other personally identifiable
data about visitors when such data is voluntarily submitted to [URL of nonprofit’s

with third parties;

identifiable contact information;

to divulge more information than is needed to participate in the activity.
