Your privacy is a priority for PlasticFreeRestaurants.org (herein “PFR” for simplicity). Our commitments to our donors, and the security measures we use to keep your personal information safe and confidential, are listed below.
Donor Privacy Policy
A. We will never trade, sell, or share a PFR donor’s personal information without explicit permission from that donor to do so.
B. We will never send mailings or any other communications to a PFR donor on behalf of another organization without explicit permission from that donor to do so.
C. This policy applies to all information received by PFR, both online and offline, as well as any electronic or written communications.
D. PFR only uses credit card or other payment information for the purpose for which it was provided.
E. Some donors may be recognized in publications like PFR’s annual report. We respect the privacy of every donor by offering a non-passive “opt-in” choice (on both our online and mail-in donation forms) for those donors who wish to allow that their names and contribution amounts (or approximate contribution levels) be made public. Any donor who does not opt in to such a permission will be identified only as “Anonymous” in any publicly-available report. A donor who wishes to revoke his/her/their previously-granted permission, or to grant permission where it was previously withheld, may notify us at contact@plasticfreerestaurants.org.
F. We may disclose a donor’s personal information:
1. to any of PFR’s board members, staff, employees, officers, insurers, consultants, agents, suppliers, or subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this policy;
2. to the extent that we are required to do so by law;
3. in connection with any ongoing or prospective legal proceedings;
4. in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk);
5. to any person whom we reasonably believe may apply to a court or other competent authority for disclosure of that personal information where, in our reasonable opinion, such court or authority would be reasonably likely to order disclosure of that personal information.
