Security And Privacy Policy

Security and Privacy Policy

We Raise Foundation values our relationship with you and works to make every experience with our organization enjoyable, efficient, relevant, and secure. In all We Raise Foundation communications, whether in person, in print, or online we continually prioritize your interests, as well as your personal security and privacy. Below is an overview of how we collect and use information to best serve you and advance our mission.

Please note: Clicking links that leave the We Raise Foundation website makes the user subject to that website’s security and privacy policy.

INFORMATION COLLECTED DURING YOUR VISIT

When you are making a donation, registering for an event or webinar, applying for a grant, or subscribing to our online newsletter, We Raise Foundation asks you for personal contact information including your name, mailing address, phone number, and email address. We may use this contact information to provide you with a receipt or financial report; to contact you to clarify or obtain additional information about the registration or donation you made; or, to send you additional information about We Raise Foundation.

If you make a donation, we may contact you on occasion with an opportunity to make another gift, or to inform you of updates relevant to your gift. You may also receive a personal call from a We Raise Foundation staff member or volunteer thanking you for your donation. You will always have the opportunity to opt-out of future communications from us. To do so, email our Donor Services team at donorservices@weraise.org or call our office at 800.762.6748.

In some instances, we ask for contact information for people other than yourself including, for example, email addresses of friends to whom you send e-cards or a copy of one of our web pages, or the mailing address of someone you wish us to notify of a donation you have made.

The information we collect is used to send the donation notification or information you requested and/or to inform the recipient of the opportunity to subscribe to receive We Raise Foundation updates, wish stories and opportunities to get involved. Such contact information is not shared with any other organizations nor is it added to any mailing list without the recipient’s explicit consent.

SECURITY

We Raise Foundation utilizes third party sites and services so we can provide our users with a secure experience, especially when providing personal information.

All online transactions, secured through Classy.org, use an encrypted channel, take place on secure servers and occur in real time. No financial data, such as your credit card number, is transferred via a less-secure channel, such as encrypted email, for processing. Moreover, once your transaction has been completed, your credit card number is not retained by We Raise Foundation.

INFORMATION SHARING

We Raise Foundation will not sell, rent, trade or transfer your personal information to outside organizations. Use of donor information will be limited to the internal purposes of We Raise and only to further our mission.

Personal contact information may be shared with certain vendors (i.e., reputable companies we use for services such as providing We Raise Foundation resources or sending We Raise Foundation mail). We have confidentiality agreements in place with all such companies to protect your privacy. Credit card donations and registrations made on our website are processed by a third party financial institution. They receive your personal information and credit card information only to process your donation in a secure environment.

Please contact us by email at donorservices@weraise.org or by telephone at 800.762.6748 to request a correction of your information, to request your name be taken off our mailing list or if you no longer wish to receive communication from us via email.

Some areas of our site feature comments sections. Please be aware that any information posted to a message board becomes public information that may be used by outside parties. It is within your best interest to exercise caution when posting information to a message board.

Website Data

We Raise Foundation does not collect any personally identifying information from you when you visit our website unless you choose to provide such information to us. You can browse the We Raise Foundation website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself.  We use Google Analytics’ 3rd-party audience data, as well as similar services, to better understand the behavior of our audience and work with companies that collect information about your online activities, none of which personally or directly identifies you, to provide advertising targeted to suit your interests and preferences. The information we gather during normal browsing comes from two sources: (1) standard server logs collect information such as the IP (Internet Protocol) address, domain name, browser type, operating system and information like the site that referred you to us, the files you downloaded, the pages you visited and the dates/times of those visits; and (2) if you have come into the website from one of one of our newsletters or from a site that has requested a link, we will ask your browser to accept a “cookie” (defined below) that carries a general marketing source code with you as you browse through the website, in order to help us match referring sites to donations made. This cookie does not capture or hold any personally identifying information about you, and is deleted when you end your session by leaving our website or closing your browser.

Cookies

When you visit our website, we might store some information on your computer in the form of a “cookie” (i.e., a small piece of data that stores information on your browser in your computer’s hard drive) or similar file. We use conversion tracking cookies as part of campaigns in order to analyze trends, gather broad demographic information and monitor website traffic patterns that can help us further develop and improve the design and functionality of our site. Similarly, we also use cookies for “retargeting” in our Internet advertising campaigns so that third party vendors, including Google, can show you advertising about We Raise Foundation as you browse the Internet. Retargeting is a marketing tool that identifies you as a previous visitor to the We Raise Foundation website and targets you for specific outreach messages, encouraging you to revisit our website or consider donating. If you prefer, you can usually set your browser to refuse cookies, or to notify you when you receive a new cookie. You may opt out of the automated collection of information by third-party ad networks for the purpose of delivering advertisements tailored to your interests by visiting Google’s page to edit or opt-out your Google Display Network ads preferences here.
