Donor Privacy Policy
At Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary, we are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of our donors. Our Donor Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard the personal information you provide when making a donation to support our mission of conserving wildlife and preserving natural habitats.
Information We Collect
We may collect personal information from donors to process donations and communicate with supporters. This may include:
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for several purposes, including:
Donor Privacy and Confidentiality
We respect the privacy of our donors and do not share, sell, or trade your personal information with any third parties for marketing purposes. We will not disclose your personal information unless required to do so by law or to fulfill a legal obligation.
Opting Out and Communication Preferences
We offer our donors the opportunity to update their contact preferences or to opt-out of receiving communication from Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary. If you would like to update your information (e.g., change your contact details or preferences), opt-out of future mailings or emails, or request to remain anonymous in our donor lists, then please contact us using the details below.
Security of Donor Information
We take the security of your personal information seriously. We employ appropriate physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of your data. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is entirely secure, so while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Anonymous Donations
If you prefer to make an anonymous donation, we will respect your wishes. You can indicate this preference when making a donation, and we will not publicly acknowledge your contribution without your express consent.
Third-Party Service Providers
In some cases, we may use third-party service providers to assist with the processing of donations and communication. Examples of these third parties include: DonorDock, our online fundraising software; Stripe and Paypal, our online payment processors; Meta, Youtube, and LinkedIn, our online social media platforms; Google Analytics, which tracks traffic on our website; local printing businesses in Charlottesville (PrintSource, Sir Speedy, etc.). These businesses are required to keep your information secure and confidential and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose. They maintain their own privacy policies as well. Please consult their own privacy policies for more information.
Children’s Privacy
Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it. We do not purposefully post photos or videos of children under 13 (attendees of an education program, for example) without the consent of their parent or legal guardian.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Donor Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage donors to review this policy periodically.
