Introduction
At Friends of the Great Commission, we are dedicated to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how your personal information is collected, used, and retained. As a registered charity, we must collect and keep certain personal information to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, including issuing tax receipts, completing government audits, and maintaining accurate records of donations.
Data Collection and Usage
We collect personal information such as your name, contact information, and donation history when you engage with our organization. This information enables us to process donations, provide tax receipts, comply with governmental reporting obligations, and improve our services.
Your Privacy Rights
We are committed to respecting your privacy rights, including rights that vary by state or province. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:
Right to Access:
You can request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you.
Right to Request Deletion:
You have the right to request that we delete certain personal information we hold about you. However, due to our obligations as a registered charity, we must retain specific information for regulatory purposes, including records necessary for tax receipts and audits.
Right to Correct or Update Information:
You can ask us to update or correct your information to ensure it is accurate and up-to-date.
Limited Deletion Rights
While we respect your right to request deletion of your data, certain personal information must be retained to fulfill our legal obligations. For example, donation records and information related to tax receipts must be kept on file as part of our compliance with state, federal, and international regulations governing charitable organizations. We will securely retain only the data required for these purposes and will delete non-essential data upon request.
Data Security and Retention
We are committed to protecting your information and use appropriate security measures to safeguard it against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill our obligations and ensure compliance with legal standards. Once data is no longer needed, we will dispose of it securely.
