Our Commitment to Children's Online Privacy
GSBI Foundation is committed to safeguarding the privacy of children online. Please read the following policy to understand how personal information of children collected by GSBI Foundation at these web Sites will be treated.
These web Sites are operated by:
Give Something Back International Foundation, Inc.,
1548 Caribbean Drive
Sarasota, Florida 34231 USA
Tel: 941.924.0025

GSBI Foundation collects personal information from children including those under the age of 13 for the purpose of adding them to the GSBI Foundation mailing list for occasional newsletters or information updates, and subscribing them to an e-mail listserv for young people engaged in program activities. For that latter purpose, the child submits a personal e-mail address.
GSBI Foundation allows all interested children to participate in its Global Virtual Classroom Listserv. A listserv is a mailing list of people who communicate about their common interests through Internet e-mail. When you subscribe to a listserv your e-mail address is added to that mailing list and you receive every message that is sent to the mailing list. Likewise, messages you send to the listserv will go to everyone on the mailing list. When you post messages to the listserv, your personal e-mail address is revealed to the other listserv participants. By participating in the Global Virtual Classroom Listserv, young people worldwide can communicate with each other about the project and the GSBI Foundation. The listserv also makes the latest news, ideas and resources available to participants.
GSBI Foundation will never disclose the personal information collected from children to third parties except when the nature of the web Sites is such that a participant reveals his or her e-mail address when he or she posts a message or is included in a posted web site or such that a participant reveals his or her e-mail address when he or she posts a message to all listserv participants.
GSBI Foundation is prohibited from and does not condition a child's participation in an activity on the child's disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in such activity. The parent of any child from whom GSBI Foundation has collected information at these web Sites can review and have deleted the child's personal information, and refuse to permit further collection or use of the child's information.
The Information We Collect
The only time GSBI Foundation will ask for your personal information is when making donations, signing up for one of our mailing lists or enrolling you in one of our programs. During this process, GSBI Foundation asks for your name, organization, address, city, state, zip code, phone, fax, email, gender and birth date.
We will store that information in our database to send you offers and information about GSBI Foundation. We may from time to time provide your name and contact information (as part of a mailing list) to businesses or organizations that actively support, sponsor or partner with GSBI Foundation. If you do not wish us to provide your name and contact information to these businesses or organizations, please send an e-mail to membership@gsbi.org.
Typically the mailing list would be used initially for programs which GSBI Foundation seeks to derive additional support through your participation. If you take advantage of an offer from one of our supporters, sponsors or partners and become their customer, they may independently wish to send offers to you.
In this case, you will need to inform them separately that you do not wish to receive future offers from them. In addition, if you contact GSBI Foundation, we may keep a record of that correspondence. If at any time, you no longer wish to receive e-mails from GSBI Foundation, please let us know.
Our Commitment to Security
GSBI Foundation and its partners operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our users.
To protect your information off-line, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect from you online.
