PRIVACY POLICY

Assistance League of the Foothill Communities does not copy, reproduce, publish, post, distribute, share or sell, the name, personal contact information or description of donation of donor to any outside individual or business. Exceptions shall be those required by law, requested in grant applications or in connection with bank credit or debit card transactions that may be made without prior knowledge or consent of the donor.

Assistance League of the Foothill Communities does acknowledge donors by name and/or description of donation in certain printed materials such as chapter newsletters, brochures, press releases, event invitations or programs, stationery, solicitation letters, the organization's website or other means of expressing appreciation for the donor's assistance. A donor wishing to view samples of these publications may do so by contacting the chapter at the address below.

Assistance League of the Foothill Communities will provide, at least annually, an Acknowledgement Letter for both new and continuing donors to inform the charity if they do not want their names acknowledged on any of the printed material mentioned above. All donations shall be treated individually so that multiple donations from a single donor shall receive the same consideration as if each were the first donation received.

A donor's photograph will not be used at any time in any chapter publication without the donor's written consent. In the case of a minor, written permission will be obtained from the parent/guardian.

The personal information of a chapter member will not be shared without the written consent of the individual. Exceptions shall be those set forth in the National Assistance League Donor Privacy Policy, a copy of which is on file with the chapter. Donations received by a chapter member will be afforded the same considerations as stated in this policy. A chapter member will receive a copy of this policy annually.
