Confidentiality of Personal Information

Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, we will keep your Personal Information private and will not share it with other third parties unless such disclosure is necessary to: (i) comply with a court order or other legal process, (ii) to protect our rights or property, or (iii) to enforce our Terms of Service. Please keep in mind that while we take reasonable precautions to safeguard your Personal Information no amount of protection can guarantee its security.

We use your information in a variety of ways to help us run the Website. Here are some of the ways we use your information:

  • To send you updates about the nonprofit program
  • To send newsletters
  • To administer your account

  • To send marketing materials
  • To improve our Website and marketing efforts

How Email Communications Work

We send out various emails to people and entities who interact with the Website, such as emails about new blog posts, programs, educational opportunities, special events, or promotions (“Email Newsletters”). Individuals and entities that choose to receive certain Email Newsletters will be subscribed to receive those Email Newsletters.

Email Newsletters contain an unsubscribe option that you can follow at any point if you wish to stop receiving some, or all, Email Newsletters. If you have received Email Newsletters mistakenly, or wish to stop receiving them, you can also contact us at admin@gvng.org and we will remove you from the list.

The Website also sends various outreach emails (“Nonprofit Emails”). Unless such Nonprofit Emails are excepted as part of an ongoing contractual relationship, or otherwise, by CANSPAM, they will contain an unsubscribe link.

Access To Your Credit Card Number

We do not process any underlying payments facilitated by the Website; payments are processed by our partner Third Payment Service Providers, currently Stripe and Bill.com. Financial data you input to consummate a transaction is encrypted using SSL technology and sent to a Payments Partner. For recurring donations your Financial and Contact data is stored by a Payment Partner in accordance with industry standards. Only the Payment Partner has access to your credit card number. We do not have access to your credit card number. Data handled by a Payment Partner is subject to that Payments Partner’s terms and privacy policy.

Who Can Access Your Personal Information (Except for Credit Card Information)

We share your Personal information with other entities that assist us in performing core services (such as hosting, data storage, and security) related to the operation of the Website. These partners only use your Personal Information to perform these core services, which are necessary for the orderly operation of the Website.

The nonprofit program will have access to the Personal Information of any individual or entity that makes a donation to a nonprofit program or receives a payment from a nonprofit program through the Website (except for your credit card number); note that making a donation “anonymous” only hides your donation from public activity feeds, not the underlying nonprofit program.

Public Pages

Any webpage created on the Website is not private. In addition, all information you post on the Website can be accessed by other people. You should exercise caution when deciding to share information on the Website. We cannot control who accesses shared information or how other parties will use that information.

Upon notification, we will take reasonable steps to mitigate any damage that may have been caused. You are responsible for the safety and security of your user name and password. You should logout after each session you have with the Website and you shouldn’t share this information.
