We will not collect personal information from you when you visit our website or fill out our physical pledge or other forms unless you provide the information to us voluntarily and knowingly with a confirmation alert (verbal or digital) prior to submission.

• Making a financial contribution: When you make a financial contribution, we collect your name, contact information such as physical address and phone number, along with your preferred payment option. This information allows us to process and fulfill your donation and notify you of your donation status. In regards to credit card payments, we do not keep credit card or bank information in any of our databases. On physical pledge forms, we not accept credit card numbers to be written in. You must either call our office to complete a donation via phone or go to our donate page to complete the electronic form on your own. If a check donation is made, we do keep a photocopy of your check on file for auditing purposes that is secured and managed by our Finance Director and never distributed to an employee. 

• Signing up for email updates: When you sign up to receive e-mail updates, we ask for your name and email address.

• Other tracked information: When you request information about running a campaign, enter a sweepstakes, complete a survey, vote in online polls or any other function that uses a submit/go feature, we may track personal information you provide in our secure and internal database of community supporters. Your information is never provided to an outside or third-party without your consent.
