ArtReach is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. We appreciate you trusting that we will be careful and sensible with your personal information.

This policy outlines when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the circumstances under which we may share it with others, how we ensure its security, and your rights and options regarding your information. It covers donor information collected both online and offline.

Data protection laws recognize specific categories of personal information as sensitive and requiring enhanced protection, such as health, ethnicity, and religion information. We typically do not collect sensitive data about you unless there is a clear and valid reason and is permitted by data protection laws.

This confidential information is kept on file for IRS purposes. It is also used to analyze overall giving patterns to make more accurate budget projections, as well as to understand donors’ interests in our mission and to update them on the organization’s plans and activities. This information is shared with staff, board members, and consultants only on a confidential and need-to-know basis.

We often obtain your personal information when you sign up for our newsletter, participate in a workshop, attend an event, make a donation, volunteer, or purchase items from our online store.

Your personal information may be shared with us by third-party sites, including PayPal, GiveLively, Stripe, Shopify, Square, Auctria, and other third-party charitable giving platforms.

We retain your information only as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected, determined by operational and legal requirements. For instance, we are legally obligated to retain certain types of information to meet our statutory and regulatory responsibilities, such as for accounting purposes.

We do not trade, share, or sell information that you provide to us with other organizations who intend to use it only to market their products or services to you. We may share your information with staff, board members, and consultants only on a confidential and need-to-know basis.
