The Sacred People Foundation, Inc. (“Foundation,” “we” or “our”) strives to ensure the privacy of its donors and visitors to our website. Our Privacy Policy was implemented to inform you of how we protect your privacy, what information we collect from users of our website, and under what circumstances we share such information.
General Collection, Use and Protection of Personal Information:
The Foundation collects and uses personal information such as name, address, phone number, and email address when it is voluntarily provided to us. This information may be provided when making a donation, requesting information or registering to download materials such as newsletters or other communications.
Additionally, the Foundation, through its payment processing vendor*, keeps a record of each donor's giving history. Our payment processing vendor processes your online donations using encryption and security protocols to protect your personally identifiable information. This information is kept on file for tax reporting purposes and may be used by us as a tool to analyze general contribution trends as we undertake our budgeting activities.
The Foundation does not share the names and addresses we collect with other charitable organizations or any other groups. Personal account number information is never shared with other organizations besides our payment processing vendor*.
*Our on-line credit card verification system is currently handled by a PayPal, a third party payment processing company, which collects your name, address, phone number, credit card number and expiration date in order to process your transaction. Their encryption technology offers a secure environment to ensure the confidentiality of your transactions.
