Privacy of Donor Information
Artful International upholds the highest level of respect for the privacy of its donors. To honor your rights, we have developed this Privacy of Donor Policy to instruct our volunteers and staff on how they may and may not use your personal information. This policy may be updated.
Information We Collect
Artful International collects and uses personal information from donors that includes: amount donated, address, telephone number, donor comments and e-mail address. Tax laws in the United States require Artful International to keep contact information and contribution level of its donors on file.
How Your Information is Used
Artful International will never publish, sell, trade, share or rent names (unless knowingly released for publication), e-mail and mail addresses, or telephone numbers of our donors. Artful International will use contact information (e-mail, telephone number and address) of donors for these purposes only:
Distribute receipts for donations
Thank you letters to donors for their donation
Inform donors about upcoming fundraising and other activities of Artful International
Internal analysis and record keeping
Reporting to relevant U.S. and State agencies (these reports are not for public viewing)
Contact donors about changes to this policy
Donor information properly made anonymous is used for promotional and fundraising activities. We allow donors the option to have their name publicly associated with their donation unless the donor explicitly chooses the “anonymous” field when donating online. In all other cases the default is for staff and volunteers to assume all donations are not to be publicly announced unless the donor explicitly indicates otherwise. Comments given in donor forms are published in public lists and may be used in promotional materials while comments sent to us via email, fax or telephone are kept strictly confidential.
Financial information
All access to donor financial information is strictly limited to professional staff who need to process data. No such data is given to any person, organization or group who does not need to access those data.
Artful International only uses online payment processing services with the highest level of security and strongest reputations. Artful International does not store, nor does it have access to, your credit card information, bank account numbers, or other account data sent to those processing services.
