Donor Privacy

How this relates to the Privacy Policy

The Privacy Policy is the current published statement about information collected on this website. This page is a separate draft focused on donor identities and gift records. If the two differ, the Privacy Policy remains the published statement until the foundation adopts this draft.

Donor information

Donor information can include a name, email address, telephone number, gift amount, designation, receipt status, and the records shown in that donor’s portal account. The public site is not designed to store a full payment-card number or a card security code. This page does not claim a payment-card certification, and no live payment processor is connected on the strength of this draft.

Publication and sharing

A donor’s name or gift amount should not be published on the website, in a campaign, or in a report unless that donor has agreed. Awaiting confirmation: how a donor grants or withdraws that agreement, and which service providers, if any, are allowed to process donor records.

A donor’s own records

A donor who can sign in to the portal can review the gift history shown for that account. A correction request can be sent through the contact page. Awaiting confirmation: how long donor records are kept, and whether a formal deletion request can be honored when tax or accounting records must be retained.

Tax treatment

This page does not state whether a gift is deductible. Deductibility depends on the foundation’s tax-exempt status and on the donor’s own circumstances. The donation acknowledgment shown in the portal is a record of the gift stored by the website. It is not a determination of tax treatment.

Questions

Questions about this draft can be sent through the contact page. Please do not send payment card numbers or confidential beneficiary information through that form.
