Arizona Educates Privacy Policy
Introduction
Arizona Educates (“We” or “Us” or “Our”) is committed to respecting the privacy of all individuals, students, interested parties, or donors (“You” or “Your”) who engage in Our websites, platforms, or other electronic mediums. We have developed this privacy policy to ensure that You understand how Your information will be used.
Personal Information
Arizona Educates collects and uses various information from You, including, but not limited to, Your name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address (collectively, “Personal Information”). Personal Information shall mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as name, identification number, location data, physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. Specifically for donors, the United States of America (“USA”) and applicable state tax laws and other regulations require Us to keep contact information and contribution histories for donors on file.
We use collected Personal Information to understand Your needs, provide excellent service, and alert You of any changes or updates to program or contribution opportunities. Except for the scenarios stated below, we will never sell, trade, rent or share Your Personal Information.
We will use Your Personal Information for the following purposes:
- Distribute receipts
- Send “thank you” and other correspondence
- Inform individuals of upcoming fundraising and other activities
- Internal analysis and record keeping
- Reporting to relevant USA and State agencies as required by USA and applicable state law, including, but not limited to, subpoenas, warrants, court orders, levies, attachments, orders of a court-appointed receiver or other comparable legal processes
- Make payments to or ship items ordered through a third party vendor
- Inform individuals of required information relevant to determining scholarship eligibility
- Contact You about changes to this policy
As with any organization, it is possible that We could merge or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the successor company would have access to the information maintained by Us, including Personal Information. The successor company would continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy.
Access to Personal Information
All access to Personal Information is strictly limited to the professional staff whose job requires them to process that information for the purposes described above. No such Personal Information is given to any staff member who does not need to access that information. We will share donation or contribution amounts and scholarships amounts with independent auditors, so that they may conduct Our annual financial and compliance audit; however, that information will be anonymized for Your Personal Information. To accept contributions via credit card, We use accredited online payment processing services with world-class security and data privacy policies. Unless requested by the donor for the purpose of processing a recurring donation, We do not store, nor have access to Your credit card information, bank account numbers, or other account data sent to those processing services.
We do not share your Personal Information with companies, organizations, or individuals, except in the following cases:
- with Your consent;
- with domain administrators who may be able to suspend or terminate Your account, receive Your account information in order to satisfy application law or regulation, or assist You with Your account;
- for legal reasons such as cooperating with applicable law, regulation, legal process, enforceable governmental requests, enforcing applicable terms and conditions, detecting or preventing fraud, security, or technical issues, or protecting against harm to the rights, property or safety of Arizona Educates and Our Users.
Information Storage
All Your Personal Information and records will be stored securely. Digital records will be encrypted at rest and in transit. The Personal Information We ask You to provide is a requirement to use Our services, and failure to provide such Personal Information may result in forfeiting access to the Arizona Educates programs or losing the opportunity to donate.
Complaints
Please inform Arizona Educates of any complaints by contacting us via email at [email protected].
