Our Privacy Policy effective 03/01/2007

Your personal contact information and what we do with it.

When you are making a donation or purchasing a product, contributing to our guest book or subscribing to our online newsletter, we ask you for personal contact information, including your name, mailing address, phone number and email address. We will use this contact information to provide you with information or resources you have requested, such as information about Giants of Generosity, Inc., a receipt or a financial report, or we will use your information to contact you to clarify or verify other information, such as an order you placed, a donation you made or a honoree that you have may recommended.

Personal contact information is not shared with any organization outside of Giants of Generosity and our agents (reputable companies we use for services, such as shipping Giants of Generosity products or sending Giants of Generosity mail). We have contracts to protect your privacy with all of our agents. In some cases, when you make a donation to your local chapter or ask for local information, your contact information may be passed on to your local chapter. Local chapters will not add you to their mailing lists unless you have expressly asked to be added.

Your personal billing information - what we do with it.

In addition to personal contact information, we ask for billing information, such as your billing address and credit card number, when you make a donation or purchase a product. We use secure servers to gather and process your billing information. These secure servers are hosted by our agent, CharityWeb, which is bound by our site policies. Your billing information is not shared with any other organizations, and your credit card number is not retained once your transaction has been authorized and processed.

Other contact information we collect - what we do with it.

In some instances, we ask for contact information for people other than yourself , for example, e-mail addresses of friends to whom you wish to send a copy of one of our pages or the mailing address of someone you wish to have us notify of a donation you have made. Such contact information is not added to any mailing list nor is the information shared with any other organization. Collecting such information for our own use is called prospecting. The Giants of Generosity does not prospect.
