Privacy Policy
Community Foundation Alliance Privacy Policy
At the Community Foundation Alliance, Inc., we maintain information on volunteers, donors and potential donors, and fund representatives for the purpose of keeping accurate financial records and providing information about the Alliance and our affiliate Community Foundations and funds. We use this information for communications and follow-up contacts with you concerning gifts and tax receipts, financial records requirements, as well as reports and statements concerning our endowments. Except in the below stated instances, we do not share information about donors or potential donors with anyone outside our organization.
Our Website
We do not track any personally identifiable information on our website. Our website uses cookies from third party providers only to track anonymous user data about traffic to our website.
Sharing Information
Names of our volunteers, staff, Board, and county committee members, and Alliance and affiliate Foundation funds may be provided in publications, including our annual report, as well as on our website. We periodically publicize information about our donors, but only with the express permission of the donor. We do not sell or lend donor lists, our database, contact information, or email addresses.
Memorial and Tribute Gifts
The names and addresses of donors of memorial or tribute gifts may be released to the honoree, next of kin, or appropriate member of the immediate family, unless otherwise specified by the donor. Gift amounts are never released without the expressed consent of the donor.
Third Party Use
We never sell information to third parties. Some of our site services related to grants and scholarships provide forms and links to other websites and third party service providers. You may be asked to provide certain personal information to them in connection with our use of these providers and services. Because we do not control the information policies or practices of any third party sites or providers, you should review their privacy policies to learn about how they collect and use personal information.
Protecting Your Information
All personal information we maintain is contained in a password-protected database. Access to the database is limited to authorized users. Our server is protected by a firewall and other security measures at the infrastructure level. Our website is maintained on an off-site server separate from the server that contains our database.
Retention
We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. Retention periods will be determined taking into account the type of information that is collected and the purpose for which it is collected, bearing in mind the requirements applicable to the situation and the need to destroy outdated, unused information at the earliest reasonable time. Under applicable regulations, we will keep records containing client personal data, account opening documents, communications and anything else as required by applicable laws and regulations.
We may rectify, replenish or remove incomplete or inaccurate information, at any time and at our own discretion.
Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on our website.
