Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 6, 2017

This Privacy Policy describes how the Robert R. McCormick Foundation and its affiliates (collectively, the “Foundation,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collect and use the information collected through this web site (the “Site”).

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND ANY COMPANY THAT YOU REPRESENT (COLLECTIVELY, “YOU”) THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THAT YOU ACCEPT AND CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION AS DISCUSSED BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and made a part of our Terms of Use.

A. Changes to Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. All changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Site or made available to you via email or otherwise. Material changes will be conspicuously posted on the Site. By accessing or using the Site after changes are posted, you agree to those changes.

B. Site Access From Outside the United States

If you are visiting the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, where our and our suppliers’ servers and central databases are located and operated. The data protection and other laws of the United States might not be comprehensive as those in the country from which you are accessing the Site or otherwise deemed adequate, but please be assured that we take steps to protect your privacy as set forth above.

C. Information Collected

The Foundation and its suppliers may collect the types of information described below in connection with your access to and use of the Site, including your donations and grant applications submitted through the Site (together, “Collected Information”).

Personally Identifiable Information. You can visit the Site without sharing personally identifiable information, but use of certain Site features requires you to provide personally identifiable information. We will collect any personally identifiable information from or about you that you choose to share with us, which may include your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, and payment information. We will use your personally identifiable information to process your donations and grant applications, to communicate with you in connection with the same, and to otherwise provide you with information and communications that you request or that we believe are relevant or may be of interest to you, subject to applicable laws and the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you provide your wireless or other telephone number to us, you consent to receiving telephone calls from us at that telephone number pertaining to the Foundation’s campaigns.

Payment Information. Donations must be made by credit or debit card. All credit and debit card information is provided directly to our PCI-compliant third-party payment processor. The Foundation does not directly access or handle your credit or debit card information, except that the Foundation will store the last four digits of your credit or debit card number in order to assist our payment processor with recurring donations. If you make a donation, you will need to submit your name, whether or not the donation is being made on behalf of a company (and if so, the name of that company), your credit or debit card number, the card type, the cardholder’s name, the expiration date, the security code, your billing address, your email address, your telephone number, and, if a company will match your gift, the name of that company. Payment by credit or debit card is subject to the approval of the card issuer. The Foundation will not be liable in any way if a card issuer refuses to accept a credit or debit card for any reason. We encourage you to review our payment processor’s privacy policy, which is located at https://www.blackbaud.com/privacy-policy.aspx.
