Policy:
What Information We Collect:
The TCO Foundation collects and uses various personal
information from donors that includes: name, address, telephone
number, e-mail address, gift amount, donor comments. Tax laws in
the United States require The TCO Foundation to keep contact
information and contribution level of donors on file.
Procedure:
How We Use The Information:
The TCO Foundation will never publish, sell, trade, rent or
share names, e-mail or mail addresses, or telephone numbers of our
donors nor send mailings on behalf of organizations outside our
family of non-profit organizations. The TCO Foundation will use
contact information of donors for the following purposes only:
- Distribution of receipts
- Donor acknowledgment
- Inform donors about upcoming fundraising and other activities
of the TCO Foundation and our family of non-profit
organizations
- Internal analysis and record keeping
- Reporting to relevant U.S. and State agencies
- Contact donors about changes to this policy
Donors may have their name publicly associated with their
donation in promotional publications unless the donor explicitly
chooses to remain anonymous. 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.
Financial Information
All access to donor financial information is strictly limited to
professional staff involved in processing the data. No such data
are given to any person, organization or group who does not need to
access the data.
The TCO Foundation only uses payment processing services with
world class security and strong reputations. The TCO Foundation
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.
