ACCF Privacy Policy

APPROVED: October 31, 2016

The Ashland County Community Foundation is committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of personal information entrusted to us by current donors, potential donors and by the officers and staff of nonprofit agencies who approach us for funding, and the people that they serve.

Like all organizations with a web presence, the Ashland County Community Foundation receives standard tracking data when you visit our site. Information from your browser, including your IP address, pages visited, the length of time you spend on our site and files you download is recorded in our website server logs. We use and analyze this data to develop site content and continue to provide you with a positive experience when you visit our website. However, no personal information is collected during the tracking process.

Online giving transactions are processed on a secure server. We have put into effect appropriate procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Once you provide us with personal, professional or financial information, that data remains confidential.

We will not sell, rent, loan or otherwise share any personally identifying information you provide with any individual or organization. While we strive to protect the personal information of our users, the Ashland County Community Foundation will release personal information if required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary or appropriate.

In accordance with federal law and the guidelines set up by the Federal Trade Commission regarding youth privacy, the Ashland County Community Foundation will not knowingly collect any personal information from young people under the age of 13.

Information Collected from Online Forms
Our website may allow you to use online forms. We will use the information you provide to respond to you or process a request.

They may also remain as a permanent, retrievable record with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If your email communication or online form contains sensitive information, you should send it by U.S. mail, unless the Website Limited Privacy Policy clearly indicates that such communications are appropriately secured for transmission over the Internet.
