Donor Privacy Policy

---

At The Wildland Project (TWP), your privacy is our priority. We are deeply committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our donors. This Donor Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information and reaffirms our commitment to transparency, respect, and integrity in all donor interactions.

TWP will never sell, share, or trade donors’ names or personal information with any other organization. We also do not send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations.

This policy applies to all information received by TWP, both online and offline, through any platform (including our website and mobile applications), as well as any electronic, written, or oral communications.

If donations are processed through a third-party service provider, donor information will only be used for the purpose of processing the donation and will not be retained or used for any other reason.

We may collect and maintain the following types of donor information:

• Name
   
• Mailing address
   
• Email address
   
• Phone number
   
• Donation amount and history
   
• Payment details (processed securely through third-party vendors)
   
• Communication preferences
   
• Any other information voluntarily provided by the donor
   

Donor information is used for:

• Processing and acknowledging donations
   
• Communicating updates, appeals, and impact stories
   
• Maintaining financial records for auditing and reporting
   
• Complying with legal and regulatory requirements
   
• Honoring donor requests regarding anonymity or recognition
   

Philanthropy is a voluntary act for the public good. It reflects a spirit of generosity that enhances lives and strengthens communities. To ensure that donors feel confident and respected in supporting our mission, TWP adheres to the Donor Bill of Rights, as established by leading nonprofit organizations.

Donors have the right to:

1. Be informed of our mission, how donations will be used, and our ability to use funds effectively for their intended purpose.
    
2. Know the identity of our board members and expect the board to act with integrity and sound judgment.
    
3. Access our most recent financial statements.
    
4. Be assured that their gifts will be used for the purpose for which they were given.
    
5. Receive appropriate and timely acknowledgment and recognition.
    
6. Trust that their personal information is handled with confidentiality and legal compliance.
    
7. Expect professional and ethical conduct from TWP staff and representatives.
    
8. Be informed whether fundraisers are volunteers, employees, or hired solicitors.
    
9. Request to be removed from any mailing or contact lists.
    
10. Ask questions and receive prompt, truthful, and clear answers.
     

We respect donor preferences regarding communications. Donors can at any time:

• Opt out of emails or mailings
   
• Request to remain anonymous
   
• Update their contact or donation information
