Policies

Donor Privacy

Global Outreach Foundation (GOF) is committed to honoring the rights of and maintaining the highest level of respect for the privacy of its donors.

Information Collected

GOF collects and uses various personal information from donors including bu tnot limited to: amount donated, address, telephone number, donor comments, and email addresses. Tax laws in the United States and State of Colorado require GOF to keep contact information and contribution level of donors on file.

How Information Is Used

GOF will never publish, sell, trade, rent, or share names (unless released for publication), email, postal addresses, or telephone numbers of our donors. GOF will use contact information (email, telephone number, and address) of donors for the following purposes only:

  • Distribute receipts for donations
  • Thank donors for their donations
  • Inform donors of upcoming fundraising and other GOF activities
  • Internal analysis and record keeping
  • Reporting of relevant U.S. and State agencies (these reports are not for public inspection)
  • Contact donors regarding changes to this policy or specific issues regarding their donation

From time to time donor information, properly made anonymous in nature, may be used for promotional and/or fundraising activities. We allow donors the option to have their name publicly associated with their donation. In all other cases, the default is for staff and volunteers to assume all donations are not to be publicly announced unless the donor explicitly indicates otherwise. Comments sent to us via mail, email, or telephone are kept strictly confidential.

Financial Details

All access to donor financial information is strictly limited to professional staff needing to process that data. No such data is given to any person, organization, or group who does not need access to such information.

GOF uses online payment processing services with world-class security and strong reputations. GOF does not store, nor does it have access to, your credit card information, bank account numbers, or other account data sent to those processing services.
