This Privacy Policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) is being used online. PII, as used in U.S. privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect, or otherwise handle your PII.

We may collect PII that you voluntarily provide to us when you make a donation, sign up for email or SMS communications, complete a form, or contact our organization. This information may include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, donation history, billing information, and any other information you choose to provide.

When you visit our website, certain technical information may also be collected automatically. This may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referral source, pages visited, and website activity. We use cookies and similar technologies to improve website functionality, understand user engagement, optimize fundraising efforts, and support digital advertising campaigns.

Our website may use technologies such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, and other analytics or advertising tools to better understand how visitors use our website and how we can improve our communications and outreach efforts.

You may control or disable cookies through your browser settings, although some website functionality may be affected.

We use the information we collect to support and advance our mission. Specifically, we may use your information to:

• Process donations and financial transactions
• Respond to inquiries or requests
• Send newsletters, fundraising appeals, advocacy alerts, and organizational updates
• Improve our website, communications, and fundraising campaigns
• Maintain donor and supporter records
• Analyze engagement and organizational effectiveness
• Comply with legal obligations and financial reporting requirements
• Protect against fraud, misuse, or unauthorized activity

We may also use information to personalize communications and better understand supporter interests and engagement.

Donation Processing

Online donations and payment transactions are processed securely through GoFundMe Pro and related third-party payment processors. We do not store complete credit card numbers or banking credentials on our servers.

These third-party service providers maintain their own privacy and security policies governing financial transactions and payment processing.

If you choose to subscribe to our communications, we may contact you with newsletters, fundraising appeals, event updates, advocacy alerts, program information, or SMS/text messages.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in our emails.

You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP to any text message.

SMS Communication

We will not share your opt-in to an SMS campaign with any third-party for purposes unrelated to providing you with the services of that campaign.

We may share your Personal Data, including your SMS opt-in or consent status, with third parties that help us provide our messaging services, including but not limited to platform providers, phone companies, and vendors who assist in the delivery of text messages.

We respect your privacy and do not sell personal information.

We may share information with trusted third-party service providers that help us operate our organization and support our mission. These providers may include payment processors, donor database providers, email marketing platforms, analytics vendors, technology consultants, and fundraising service providers.

These partners are only permitted to use information as necessary to perform services on our behalf and are expected to maintain appropriate safeguards for your information.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect our legal rights, to prevent fraud or security threats, or with your consent.

Right to Know and Access. You have the right to know, see and access what personal data we have collected about you in a portable format including:

1. The categories of PII we have collected about you;
2. The purpose for processing your PII;
3. How you can exercise your rights and appeal a decision regarding your request;
4. The categories of PII that we have shared with third parties; and
5. The categories of third parties with whom we have shared your PII.

Right to Correct. You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal data.

Right to Delete. You have the right to request that we delete the personal data we have collected about you.

Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of targeted advertising and the sale of your data (as defined under state law).

Right to Appeal. You have the right to appeal our decision regarding a request related to these rights.

Right to Non-Retaliation. You have the right to not be retaliated against for exercising any privacy rights detailed above.

To request access to or deletion of your PII, or to exercise any other data rights under state law, please contact us using the following method:

Email: You may write to us to exercise rights. Please include your full name, residential address, email address, and phone number, along with why you are writing, so that we can process your request without undue delay. Please email us at tjones@stbonaventuremission.org.

Toll-Free Telephone Number: You may call us at (877) 989-4100 to exercise rights. Please include your full name, residential address, email address, and phone number, along with why you are calling, so that we can process your request without undue delay.

We are committed to ethical fundraising practices and respecting donor intent. Donors have the right to:

• Be informed about our mission and how donated resources are used.
• Know that contributions will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
• Receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition. 
• Have their information treated with respect and confidentiality. 
• Ask questions and receive prompt, truthful responses.
• Request removal from future fundraising communications.

We strive to honor donor preferences regarding communications and public recognition whenever reasonably possible.

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect PII from unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, or loss.

These safeguards may include encrypted website connections, restricted access to systems, password protections, staff training, vendor oversight, and secure cloud-based technologies.

While we work hard to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We will only keep your PII for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your PII, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your PII has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your PII and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

When it comes to the collection of PII from children under thirteen (13) years of age, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. Our website and services are not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect PII from children without appropriate consent.

If we become aware that PII has been collected from a child inappropriately, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information.

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on the website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites or how they choose to share your PII, assuming you provide it to them. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our website and welcome any feedback about these third-party websites.

It is also important to note that our website allows third-party behavioral tracking.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of those external websites.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites they visit.

We honor ‘Do Not Track’ signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or organizational operations.

Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
