READ Ministries is committed to respecting the privacy of donors.  The following privacy policy ensures donors that information will not be shared with a third party.

Awareness.  READ Ministries provides this Donor Privacy Policy to make all donors aware of the privacy policy and to inform all donors of the way information is used.  READ also provides the opportunity to remove any name from READ’s mailing list, if requested in writing.

Information Collected.  Here are the types of donor information that is collected and maintained:

• Contact information – name, organization, complete address, phone number, email address;
• Donation information – dollar amount, fund donated to;
• Information a donor may wish to share – questions, comments, suggestions; and
• A request to receive periodic updates: i.e., to individuals who request it, we will send periodic mailings related to specific fund raising appeals, prayer concerns and newsletters.

How Information is Used.  READ Ministries will use information to help donors complete a donation, communicate and periodically update ministry happenings to their donors.  We use the comments offered to provide information requested and we take seriously donor recommendations.

No Sharing of Personal Information.  READ Ministries will not sell, rent or lease personal information to other organizations.  READ assures that the identity of all donors will be kept confidential.  Use of donor information will be limited to the internal purposes of READ Ministries and only to further the ministry activities and purposes of READ Ministries.

Removing a Name From our Mailing List.  It is READ’s desire not to send unwanted mail to donors.  Names will be removed at the individual’s request.
