Donor Privacy Policy

Purpose:

The Shirlington Employment and Education Center (SEEC) is committed to respecting the privacy of our donors. We developed this policy to assure our donors that donor information will not be shared with any third party. The SEEC Donor Privacy Policy applies to the collection of all donor data, including electronic information collected on any website SEEC operates and controls.

Policies and Practices:

SEEC does not sell, rent, or share donor information with other organizations. We do not send mailings or any other solicitations to our donors on behalf of other organizations. We do not disseminate any donor data to any party without the expressed permission of the donor. Donor information is always confidential. Donors who would like their donations listed as Anonymous may request this support at any time by contacting the SEEC Executive Director at the SEEC office at 703 933 1101.

SEEC collects donor data for documentation, reporting, and issuing receipts. This data may include:

  • Donor contact information, including name, organization, address, phone number, and email address.
  • Payment information, including check data or credit card number, expiration date, and security code, as well as any relevant billing information.
  • If the gift is in honor or in memory of a third party and the donor discloses the name and address of the third party for notification purposes, SEEC will not add that person to our donor database, mailing list, or any electronic list-serv.

SEEC only uses donor information for internal gift processing purposes and fundraising. SEEC uses donor information in the following ways:

  • To thank donors for their donations in writing
  • To acknowledge donations in relevant publications, such as SEEC’s annual report
  • To inform donors about SEEC events and activity
  • For internal analysis and record-keeping
  • For reporting to relevant U.S. and State agencies
  • To contact donors about changes to this Donor Privacy Policy.

SEEC’s PayPal account is encrypted, with limited and varying data access issued solely to the SEEC Executive Director and Members of the Board of Directors Executive Committee.
