Privacy Policy

SixDegrees.org respects the privacy of its online visitors. At our site, we do not collect personally identifiable information from individuals unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. This means we do not require you to register or provide information to us in order to view our site.

SixDegrees.org only gathers personally identifiable data, such as names, addresses, zip/postal codes, e-mail addresses, etc., when voluntarily submitted by a visitor. The security and confidentiality of your information is our highest priority. SixDegrees.org lists are never sold to third parties.

Donor Policy

SixDegrees.org maintains the highest level of respect for the privacy of its donors. In furtherance of our commitment to honor your rights, we have developed this Donor Privacy Policy to guide our staff on how they may and may not use your personal information. This policy may be updated from time to time.

What Information We Collect

SixDegrees.org collects and uses various personal information from donors including: name, amount donated, address, telephone number, donor comments, and e-mail address. Tax laws in the United States and the State of Virginia require SixDegrees.org to keep contact information and contribution level of donors on file.

How We Use That Information

SixDegrees.org will never sell, trade, rent, or share names, e-mail or mailing addresses, or telephone numbers of our donors. SixDegrees.org will use donor contact information (e-mail, telephone number, and address) for the following purposes only:

· Distribution of receipts for donations

· Thanking donors for their donation

· Informing donors about upcoming fundraising initiatives with our charitable partners

· Internal analysis and record keeping

Financial Information

All access to donor financial information is strictly limited to professional staff who need to process those data. No such data are given to any person, organization, or group who does not need to access those data.
