Chronic Disease Fund, Inc. d/b/a Good Days® and its parent, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies (collectively, “Good Days,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respect that the privacy of your personal information is important to you, and we are committed to protecting your privacy.

By using the Sites, you acknowledge that you agree with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please refrain from using the Sites.

2. Information We Collect and How We Collect It

We use this automatically collected information to operate the Sites and our business, such as to recognize you when you return to the Sites, customize the Sites for your use, analyze how you and others use the Sites, measure the numbers of people that visit the Sites, and for other analytics purposes.

We may combine the information that you collect automatically with the personal information that we collect, as well as information we receive from third parties.

5. Third Party Websites

This Privacy Policy addresses the collection, use, and disclosure of information we collect from you on the Sites. Other websites that may be accessible through the Sites have their own privacy policies and data collection, use, and disclosure practices. If you link to any such third party website, we urge you to review that website’s privacy policy.

6. Accessing, Changing or Correcting Your Information

If you created an account on the Sites, you can review and change your personal information by logging into the Sites and visiting your account profile page. You can modify, add, or delete your personal account information by signing into your account and editing your personal account profile. The accuracy of your account information is your responsibility.

You can close your account at any time by contacting us at admin@mygooddays.org or (877) 968-7233. We wait 90 days before removing your account information from the Site in order to help avoid accidental or malicious removal of your information. The same mechanism can also be used to reopen an account that has been closed.

You may also contact us through one of the methods listed in the “Contact Information” section below to request access to, or request to correct or delete, any personal information that you have provided to us. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

7. Securing Your Personal Information

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Sites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Sites like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Sites.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to the Sites. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Sites.

8. Google Analytics

Good Days uses Google Analytics to study the browsing behavior of visitors to the Sites. Google Analytics collects certain information on an anonymous basis, such as the number of visitors to the Sites; their country, region, and city of origin; the type of browser and operating system they are using; the date, time, and duration of visits; the pages consulted; and what other websites they visited prior to coming to the Sites. Good Days uses the information received from Google Analytics to improve the Sites.

If you do not want your data collected with Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript running on websites to prohibit sending information to Google Analytics. To opt-out of Google Analytics, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/ and install the add-on for your browser. Note that this opt-out is specific to Google activities and does not affect the activities of other ad networks or analytics providers that we may use.

9. Use of Cookies

The Sites use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize pages on a Site or register with a Site or sign up for services, a cookie helps Good Days to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Sites you visit.

10. Children’s Privacy

The Sites are not intended for children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 16, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from a child under 16, please contact us through one of the methods listed in the “Contact Information” section below.

11. Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage you to review this Policy to learn about those changes.
