Website Privacy Notice

Last updated: Jan 17, 2023

This Website Privacy Notice applies to visitors (“Visitor”, “you”) to cadreamhousing.org (the “Website”), which is operated by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, LLC (“CZI,” “we,” “us”). CZI is a new kind of philanthropy that’s leveraging technology, community-driven solutions, and collaboration to help solve some of the world’s toughest challenges — from eradicating disease, to improving education, to building community and affordable housing solutions.

CZI is committed to protecting your online privacy. This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, disclose and share personal information about you when you visit the Website, receive an email from us, or anywhere we gather information from you and refer you to this Privacy Notice. It also explains the choices that you have regarding this information. This Privacy Policy also contains additional information for California residents. 

We have done our best to write this Privacy Notice in simple and clear terms. We have also added summaries below each section that provide short explanations of the legal language in plain English (it starts with ‘Summary’) to aid in understanding, but they are not legally binding.
