Information from Payment Processors and Other Service Providers

To provide donors the best possible experience, we work with service providers and may share Donor Data and other information with, or have it transmitted through, them.

  • Internal analysis, such as research and analytics

  • Record keeping

  • Reporting to applicable government agencies as required by law

  • Surveys, metrics, and other analytical purposes

  • Other purposes related to the fundraising operations

Anonymous donor information may be used for promotional and fundraising activities. Comments that are provided by donors may be publicly published and may be used in promotional materials. We may use available information to supplement the Donor Data to improve the information we use to drive our fundraising efforts. We may allow donors the option to have their name publicly associated with their donation unless otherwise requested as part of the online donation process.

We use data gathered for payment processors and other service providers only for the purposes described in this policy.
