AchieveMpls is committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your personal, financial and other sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information gathering and usage practices of our programs and web site.
When you make an online donation to AchieveMpls, we collect a variety of personal information in order to process your donation. This personal information may include: name, address, e-mail address, phone number, your credit card information, “acknowledgement” or “in memory of” information, and donation amount. It is unlikely that AchieveMpls will need to contact you but we reserve the right in the event that we need to verify any of your personal information.
We use a credit card processing company to process donations. Neither AchieveMpls nor this company retains, shares, stores or personally use identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
AchieveMpls respects the fact that providing information to our organization does not mean the information should be forwarded to any other organizations. Personal information is never sold or shared with outside sources.
AchieveMpls takes every precaution to protect donor information. When donors submit sensitive information, their information is protected both online and off-line. When a form asks donors to enter sensitive information such as credit card number or address, that information is encrypted and protected with the best encryption software in the industry – SSL.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect donor information off-line. All of our donor information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. All employees are kept up-to-date on our privacy and security practices.
AchieveMpls offers a free e-newsletter that it sends out to interested individuals. Recipients can choose to unsubscribe at any time, and unsubscribe information is offered at the bottom of every e-newsletter.
Although AchieveMpls makes every effort to donor and customer privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our organization.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to our home page, this privacy statement, and other places we deem appropriate so our donors are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If, however, we are going to use donors’ personal identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify the individual.
