Annual Fund

Privacy Policy

What information we collect
St. Patrick's collects and uses various personal information from donors that includes: amount donated, address, telephone number, donor comments and e-mail address. Tax laws in the United States and the State of Maryland require St. Patrick's to keep contact information and contribution level of donors on file.

How we use that information
St. Patrick's will never publish, sell, trade, rent or share names (unless released for publication), e-mail or mail addresses, or telephone numbers of our donors. St. Patrick's will use contact information (e-mail, telephone number and address) of donors for these purposes only:

Distribute receipts for donations
Thank donors for their donation
Inform donors about upcoming fundraising and other activities of St. Patrick's
Internal analysis and record keeping
Reporting to relevant U.S. and State agencies (these reports are not for public inspection)
Contact donors about changes to this policy

We allow donors the option to have their name publicly associated with their donation unless the donor explicitly chooses the "anonymous" field when donating. In cases where the donor fails to indicate their option, the default is for staff and volunteers to assume all donations are not to be publicly announced unless the donor explicitly indicates otherwise.

Financial information
All access to donor financial information is strictly limited to professional staff for the purpose of documentation and processing. No such information shall be provided to any person, organization or group who does not require access to such information.

St. Patrick's only uses payment processing services with world class security and strong reputations. St. Patrick's does not maintain, nor has access to, your credit card information, bank account numbers, or other account information sent to those processing services.
