OUR COMMITMENT
to your privacy
PRIVACY POLICY (updated January 5, 2022)
CHOICE Humanitarian is committed to protecting your privacy. Whether you are a donor, a volunteer, a business partner, or a community partner, we will hold your information in strict confidence. Except as specifically set forth in these Terms & Conditions, we will never sell, trade or share a donor’s information with any other organization or individual, unless required by any court order, law or legal process, including to respond to any governmental or regulatory request (“Legal Reason”).
When you choose to make either online or offline donations, CHOICE Humanitarian will use your personal information to provide you a charitable donation receipt. We will also store your personal information in our secured databases, and we may use that information for the purposes of possible future emails or mailings (marketing and communications) related to our programs and humanitarian efforts as granted by your permission. We will not send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations. Once again, except as specifically set forth in these Terms & Conditions, we will never sell, trade or share your personal information with any other organization or individual, unless required by a Legal Reason. If you would like to be removed from our mailing list, please email info@choicehumanitarian.org.
Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, if you choose to donate by credit card, your information will be provided to only the third parties necessary to process your credit card donation, such as the credit card company, the sponsoring bank, and/or the bank issuing the credit card. If you provide us with information related to a matching gift, your information will be shared with only the third parties required for the purpose of processing the matching gift donation.
At no time will your financial information be stored by CHOICE Humanitarian. Information regarding the amount of your financial contributions will be kept strictly confidential. Each year, in our annual report, we publish a list of donors who have contributed during that year. This is an alphabetical listing and no donation amounts are listed. If you would like to be removed from that donor list, or generally and/or aggregately referenced as “Anonymous”, please email info@choicehumanitarian.org.
We strive to keep your information as complete, accurate, and up to date as possible. Upon request to info@choicehumanitarian.org, we will remove your personal information from all of our databases, except where law requires our retention of your information (for example, donation history for income tax purposes).
It is our policy to post any changes we make to our privacy policy on this page with a notice that the privacy policy has been updated. If we make material changes to how we treat our users' personal information, we will notify you through a notice on our website. The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date, active, and deliverable email address for you and for periodically visiting our website and this privacy policy to check for any changes.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
CHOICE Humanitarian is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, EIN 74-2494806. All donations received will become the property of CHOICE Humanitarian and will be used at the discretion of the CEO and/or Board of Directors for our humanitarian efforts as described on our website and any other correspondence you may have received. Unless you specify otherwise, your donation may be used in any country, or for any program, or for any purpose that will assist us in our humanitarian efforts.
DONATION REFUND POLICY
CHOICE Humanitarian accepts donations to help fund our humanitarian efforts. All donations are final. In unique and rare circumstances, we may process a refund of a donation. All requests must be made in writing within 14 days of the donation and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the CEO, in the CEO’s sole and absolute discretion. The CEO’s election to refund a donation to a specific donor shall in no way constitute a waiver of CHOICE Humanitarian’s policy of considering all donations final or affects our rights with respect to denying any future requested refund by the same or other donors.
CHOICE Humanitarian also accepts payments for expeditions. The refund policy regarding payments for expeditions is specified in the “Application and Agreement for Expedition” found in the Expedition section of our website.
