PRIVACY POLICY

Website User Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to any website owned or developed by the AFC Action Fund and its affiliates, including any interactive features, communications, or services provided by AFC Action Fund, however used or accessed, that are made available, operated, maintained or produced by the AFC Action Fund.

AFC Action Fund is committed to respecting the privacy of our visitors. AFC Action Fund has established this policy to inform you of the kinds of personal information we may gather in your visit to our websites.  You can visit most portions of our websites without letting us know who you are or revealing any personal information.

Personal Information
Your personal information is collected on a voluntary basis when you complete the “Contact Us” form, sign up for the newsletter, fill out a “Take Action” form or contribute through the donation form. You may be asked for, as appropriate, your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and credit card information. You can refuse to supply personal identification information, though it may prevent you from participating in certain activities on the website.

Our website is not intended for use by children under age 13.  AFC Action Fund does not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under age 13. If AFC Action Fund discovers that a child under the age of 13 has provided AFC Action Fund with personally identifiable information, AFC Action Fund will immediately delete that child’s information from our websites.

Social Media
When you interact with any AFC Action Fund website or account on a social media platform, such as Facebook, we may collect personal information that you make available to us on that page or account including your account ID.  However, we will comply with the privacy policies of the corresponding social media platform and we will only collect and store such personal information that we are permitted to collect by these social media platforms.

Text Messaging
SMS opt-in consent and data will not be shared with third parties.

Donor Privacy Policy
AFC Action Fund respects the privacy of our donors and their choice not to have personal information shared with others. We do not and will not sell, rent, or trade donor information (collected online or offline) to organizations that use such information for commercial purposes. Occasionally we may make donor mailing lists available for one time use by selected nonprofits in return for donor lists from those organizations. This helps AFC Action Fund continue to grow. Our donors may instruct that we exclude their information from any lists that we share. All such requests — directed to Elisa Clements, eclements@federationforchildren.org or via mail to 228 S Washington St, Ste 115, Alexandria, VA 22314 — will be implemented as soon as possible.

Contributions on the website via credit card are secured by an SSL certificate. Credit card information is not stored on the AFC Action Fund website, nor will it be disclosed to third parties except to the extent necessary to complete a transaction initiated through our secure online contribution form.
