What information we collect

The Center collects and uses various information from persons donating
to the Center (donors) that includes: amount donated, address,
telephone number, donor comments and e-mail address. Tax laws in the
United States and the State of California require the Center to keep
contact information and contribution level of donors on file.

How we use that information

The Center will never publish, sell, trade, rent or share names
(unless released for publication), e-mail or mail addresses, or
telephone numbers of donors. The Center will use contact information
(e-mail, telephone number and address) of donors for these purposes
only:

• Distribute receipts for donations
• Thank donors for their donation
• Inform donors about upcoming fundraising and other activities of the Center
• Internal analysis and record keeping
• Reporting to relevant U.S. and State agencies (these reports are not for public inspection)
• Contact donors about changes to this policy

Staff and volunteers assume that all donations from persons 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. However, properly
anonymized donor information may be used by the Center for its
promotional and fundraising activities.

Financial information

All access to donor financial information is strictly limited to
professional staff who need to process those data. No such data are
given to any person, organization or group who does not need to access
those data.

The Center only uses online payment processing services with world
class security and strong reputations. The Center 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.
