Privacy Policy

Convoy of Hope maintains this privacy policy to provide you with information about how we use, disclose, and protect the personal information you provide to us.

Collecting & Use of Information

The personal information that we collect includes your name, address, city, state, ZIP code, telephone number, and email address. In addition, we may collect your credit card information as part of a donation that you make. We may use your information to process your donation, issue a tax receipt for your donation, or process your purchase. We may also use your information to add you to our mailing list for monthly newsletters and other organizational communications. If we add you to our mailing list, you will always have the option to be removed from that list at any time. If we collect your credit card information, it will only be used to process your donation or purchase. If you provide a phone number Convoy of Hope may use it to send you messages related to Convoy of Hope fundraising and other SMS text messaging campaigns. However, we will only use or disclose your personal information for internal Convoy of Hope purposes. We may provide your information to third parties when necessary and appropriate to create and distribute the communications described in this policy. We will never trade, rent, or sell your personal information, nor send a donor mailing on behalf of other organizations. If you choose to opt into receiving SMS communications from Convoy of Hope, we will not sell or share your opt-in to an SMS campaign or your consent status, nor will we disclose it to any third party for purposes other than providing the messaging. For example, we may disclose this information with the third-party providers that help us provide our text messaging services, such as platform providers and wireless carriers.

Security

We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Protocol when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information. With the SSL technology, the credit card information you enter while making a donation or purchase will be encrypted before traveling over the internet. After we receive your credit card information, it is only used to process your donation or purchase.

Other Information

When you interact with us online, we may receive and store information such as IP addresses and other information about how you interact with our website, emails, or other digital offerings. We may store such information, or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by affiliates, agents, or service providers. We may use such information for collective data analysis.

We retain personal data for so long as it may be relevant to the purposes identified herein. To dispose of personal data, we may anonymize it, delete it, or take other appropriate steps. Data may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for an additional period of time.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information provided via the Services from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, we cannot guarantee protection and recommend that you take special care in deciding what information you provide to us through nonsecure means.

They may also object to our uses or disclosures of personal data, request a restriction on its processing, or withdraw any consent. These requests will not affect our ability to continue processing data in lawful ways.
