PRIVACY POLICY

Operation Birthday Inc. respects the privacy interests and preferences of our donors, applicants and website visitors. We are committed to full transparency in outlining what information we collect about donors and applicants and how it is used.

PERSONAL CONTACT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND WHAT WE DO WITH IT

When you are making a donation, referring a child, asking about volunteering options, or subscribing to our online newsletter, Operation Birthday asks you for personal contact information such as your name, mailing address, phone number and e-mail address. We may use this contact information to provide you with a receipt; to contact you to clarify or obtain information about a request you placed, a donation you made, or a child you have referred; or to send you additional information about Operation Birthday.

If you make a donation, we may contact you to say thank you but we do not use outside vendors to communicate with donors nor do we engage in telemarketing to offer you an opportunity to make another gift. We will always give you the opportunity to opt-out of future communications from us.

Personal contact information may also be shared with certain vendors, i.e., reputable companies we use for services such as the USPS for shipping Birthday Kits or SquareSpace which processes your donations online.

PERSONAL BILLING INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND WHAT WE DO WITH IT

In addition to personal contact information, we ask for billing information, such as your billing address and credit card number, when you make a donation. We use our website vendor, SquareSpace’s secure servers to gather and process your billing information. Your billing information is not shared with any other organizations, and your credit card number is not retained once your transaction has been authorized and processed.

OTHER CONTACT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND WHAT WE DO WITH IT

In some instances, we ask for contact information for people other than yourself including, for example, e-mail addresses of friends to whom you send e-certificates or the mailing address of the best shipping location for your Birthday Kit. Such contact information is not shared with any other organizations nor is it added to any mailing list without the recipient’s explicit consent.

NORMAL BROWSING

Operation Birthday Inc. does not collect any personally identifying information from you when you visit our website unless you choose to provide such information to us.

CHILDREN

With respect to children, Operation Birthday Inc collects personally identifiable information and the child’s preferences for children who are being referred as potential Birthday Kit recipients. We expect each submission is made by an adult (18+) who is either the parent or legal guardian. We do not share this data and we do not give the ability to publicly post or otherwise distribute personally identifiable contact information in any way.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

Our Privacy Policy is subject to change from time to time. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on this Web page so that you will always know what information we collect, how we use it and what choices you have.
