SPW provides a service to match Pro Bono Professionals to critical capacity projects of local nonprofits (the “Service”). MFS has engaged HandsOn Connect (HOC) to provide the technology platform to support the Service. This document contains the privacy policy for Metropolitan Family Service and the privacy policy for HandsOn Connect, and governs the privacy for users of the Service (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Privacy Policy”).
All Users must agree to the Site terms of use, the SPW Service agreement, and the Privacy Policy before utilizing the Service.

WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED?
MFS collects information from both nonprofit organizations and Pro Bono Professionals (professional volunteers) to enable matching of talents and skills to project needs. Data collected varies by type of User, but may include: contact information, demographics, email address, project descriptions, organization descriptions, previous employment history, references, project preferences. Each user has access to their account profile and can update or modify their information. Users are responsible to safeguard their login and password.

HOW IS THE INFORMATION USED AND SHARED?
MFS utilizes the information provided by Users to provide our matching service.
Nonprofit Organizations: Basic organizational information and project descriptions which have been submitted to the Service will be publically displayed on the Site, and may also be publically posted in other venues during the recruitment period. Without consent, MFS will not sell, rent, or otherwise share your personal data with other third parties unless required as described in the Other section below.
Pro Bono Professionals: Personal information is not displayed to the public. MFS employees or contractors managing the SPW program access information for the purpose of connecting Pro Bono Professionals with appropriate nonprofit capacity projects. Without consent, MFS will not sell, rent, or otherwise share your personal data with other third parties unless required as described in the Other section below. If a Pro Bono Professional “expresses interest” on the Site to a specific nonprofit project, he/she is consenting to allow SPW to share their personal data with that nonprofit for the purposes of a potential match. Based on the information provided to the Service, Pro Bono Professionals consent to reference checks to validate employment or skills. Pro Bono Professionals will also be required to pass a background check (administered by a third party) as a condition to interview for a project.
