Donor Privacy Policy Academies for Excellence, Inc. (AFE) has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this site. AFE assures you that the identity of all who contact us through this Web site is kept confidential: we do not rent, sell, or exchange our mailing lists and we will always strive to be responsible in our management, truthful in our advertising, and cost-effective in our fund raising. We are continually working to ensure every dollar is used to its fullest for this purpose. AFE is committed to the highest standard of stewardship excellence. We will exert every effort to honor any designation of preference you have stated. In certain circumstances, where a project is over-funded or cannot be carried out in accordance with your preference, the funds will be used for similar projects approved by the Board of Directors. As with most other Internet sites, our web servers record the IP address of each visitor to this site. This IP address tells us which domain you visited from (for instance, aol.com), but not your email address or other private and personal information. We use the information we record to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer this Web site more effectively, and to gather broad demographic information about what countries and domains our visitors hail from and their behavior on our site. Those who choose to register through various features on our site may choose to give us certain contact information (such as their email address). These features may also request optional demographic information (such as zip code). We may use this contact information to send you additional information about AFE and its programs. Your voluntarily provided contact information may also be used to contact you when necessary in order to resolve customer service issues or questions. You may readily opt-out of receiving future communications; see the instructions below. In some cases our site uses securely encrypted contribution response forms for visitors who choose to use these forms to provide information, request information, and make donations. We collect your willingly submitted contact information (such as your email address), unique identifiers (in some cases, an AFE donor account number), and financial information (such as a credit card type, number, and expiration date). Contact information from these response forms is used to process donations, provide receipts and other information about AFE to our customers. The visitor's contact information is also used to get in touch with the visitor when necessary in order to resolve customer service issues or questions. Users may readily opt-out of receiving future communications; see the instructions below. Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for donations pledged. Unique identifiers (such as an AFE account number) may be collected from Web site visitors to assist in matching current donation information with donor history in our record systems. Our online forms may ask visitors for contact information (such as their email address) as well as a variety of demographic and practical questions. We may use contact data from our forms to send the user information about AFE. The user's contact information may also be used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see instructions below. Opt-Out Users may also opt-out at any time by contacting us following the methods provided in the ‘Modify Your Information’ section below. This site may contain links to other sites. AFE is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites. Modifying Your Information This site gives users the following options for removing their information from our database, to not receive future communications, or to no longer receive our service; or for changing or modifying information previously provided.
When contacting AFE to change your status, be sure to include any information that would help us identify you on our lists, such as complete contact information (name, postal address, telephone number, and email address), any AFE account number(s), or information about venues in which you gave us your contact information online (guestbook, survey, etc.). Changes to This Policy AFE reserves the right to make changes to this privacy policy without advance notice. |
