PRIVACY POLICY

Donor Privacy Policy

Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta (BGCMA) maintains the highest level of respect for the privacy of its donors. The following is our donor privacy policy, which guides our volunteers and staff on how they may and may not use your personal information while honoring your rights as a contributor.

BGCMA collects and uses personal information from donors that includes: name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and donor comments when a donor voluntarily provides it to us. In addition, BGCMA keeps a record of each donor’s giving history. This information is kept on file for IRS purposes and is also used in our development process to analyze overall giving patterns in order to make accurate budget projections.

BGCMA does not sell, trade, rent or share names, addresses, telephone numbers, or e-mail addresses of our donors. BGCMA will use contact information (e-mail, telephone number and address) of donors for these purposes only:

• Distribute receipts for donations
• Thank donors for their donation
• Inform donors about news, upcoming fundraising events and other activities of BGCMA
• Internal analysis and record keeping
• Reporting to relevant U.S. and State agencies (these reports are not for public inspection)
• Contact donors about changes to this policy

As a rule, BGCMA publicly recognizes a donor by publishing a donor’s name unless the donor explicitly chooses the “anonymous” field when making a donation by mail or online. Properly anonymized donor information can be used for promotional and fundraising activities.

By providing your phone number, you agree to receive text messages from this organization. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies.

SMS OPT-OUT: If you are receiving text messages from us and wish to stop receiving them, simply respond with either “STOP” or “UNSUBSCRIBE” to the number from which you received the message. Once we receive your message, you will no longer receive further text messages from us.

If you have questions about this Donor Privacy Policy or if you wish to be removed from our e-mail/postal contact lists, then please email pcoughlin@bgcma.org or write to:
