Privacy Policy

Last Update: September 6, 2018

This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used and disclosed by Funraise, Inc. ("Funraise"). This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you use our websites and other online products and services, including our online platform for soliciting and collecting charitable donations, currently available for use via a web browser or mobile application (collectively, the "Services") or when you otherwise interact with us as described below.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you an email notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Services or otherwise interact with us to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.

Collection of information

Information you provide to us

We collect information you provide directly to us. For example, we collect information when you create an account, fill out a form, participate in a promotion, make a purchase, communicate with us via third party social media sites, request customer support, provide any contact or identifying information or otherwise communicate with us. The types of information we may collect include your name, email address, postal address, phone number, information about your campaigns, donors and donations, and any other information you choose to provide.

In some cases, we may also collect information you provide about others, such as when you add supporters to your platform to perform wealth screenings or demographic screenings. We will use this information to fulfill your requests and will not send marketing communications to these contacts unless they separately opt in to receive communications from us.

We do not collect any payment card data directly. If you make a purchase through our Services, all payment card data is collected and processed by a third party payment processor. We may retain the last 4 digits of any payment card for account administration purposes.

  • In response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with any applicable law, regulation or legal process, or as otherwise required by any applicable law, rule or regulation;
