Donor and Payment Information

We use personal information collected from donors and members for the purposes of processing payments, and communicating about the GYOPO, as well as conducting the GYOPO’s fundraising and other operations. This information may include name, amount donated, address, telephone number, donor comments, email address, and any other personal information provided to us (“Donor Data”). For donations by check, Donor Data also includes the data visible on the check.

​

Donor Data may be used for these kinds of purposes:

• Distributing receipts and thanking donors for donations

• Informing donors about upcoming fundraising and other events/activities of the museum

• Internal analysis, such as research and analytics

• Record keeping

• Reporting to applicable government agencies as required by law

• Surveys, metrics, and other analytical purposes

• Other purposes related to the fundraising operations

 

As part of providing an online experience expected by our donors, we may store data collected as part of standard Web operations (such as user agent strings, IP addresses, referrer strings, and cookies). We may use this data for purposes described in this policy, including analytical needs and improved functionality of our website.

Anonymized donor information may be used for promotional and fundraising activities. Comments that are provided by donors may be publicly published and may be used in promotional materials. We may use available information to supplement the Donor Data to improve the information we use to drive our fundraising efforts. We may allow donors the option to have their name publicly associated with their donation unless otherwise requested.

​

Payment Processors

Payment processors allow donors, members, and visitors purchasing from the Museum Store to give electronically using a payment services account, a credit card, or other payment method. These processors collect certain information from donors, and you should consult their privacy policies to determine their practices. To provide donors the best possible experience, we work with service providers and may share Donor Data and other information with, or have it transmitted through, them. Such service providers include, for example, mail houses that process bulk mailings, and email services. We use data gathered for payment processors and other service providers only for the purposes described in this policy.

​

Data Retention

We seek to retain donor-related information only as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy unless a longer retention period is required by law or regulations. For example, tax laws in the United States and the State of California may require GYOPO to keep contact information and contribution level of donors on file.

Security

​

We are committed to protecting personal information of donors from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Among other things, we undertake a range of security practices, including measures to help secure Web access to sensitive data, and undertake efforts to address security vulnerabilities for various tools and databases. We use industry-standard encryption technologies to prevent your personal and financial information from being seen as it travels over the Internet to our servers. We routinely evaluate our security, and the security of our third-party service providers, to monitor and upgrade security measures.
