PERSONAL INFORMATION

“Personal Information” is information that identifies you personally, such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address. We collect and store personal information that you share with us. Below are examples of ways in which we may collect your information:

• When you request information via one of the email addresses identified on our website, or otherwise contact us in person, by phone, or email, with an inquiry. We may then collect information such as your name, address, email, or telephone number in order to respond to that inquiry.
• We may collect your name, email address, telephone number, and other contact information if you register for and/or attend an event.
• We may collect information such as your name, email address, telephone number, and payment information when you make a contribution, either on our website, Kintera BlackBaud Sphere, over the phone, by mailing in a check, or any other manner in which you might make a contribution.
• Information you give us on Fund Agreements or other forms (such as your name, address, assets, and income).
• Information about your charitable gifts and grant transactions with us (such as your fund balance, grant history, and parties to transactions).

The above list provides a sample of personal information that may be collected by the Maha Baudhi International Foundation. From time to time, we may collect personal information from you in ways not described above.

MBIF restricts access to personal information to those employees who need to know that personal information to provide our services to you.

USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

MBIF respects and values the trust you place in us when you give us your personal information and is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of our donors’ personal information.

• We will not trade, share, or sell a donor’s personal information, collected on the website or through any business activities, with anyone else.
• We will only share donor mailings on behalf of other organizations once the donor has given MBIF specific permission to do so.
• We will use your information to comply with the law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to conform to the requirements of the law or comply with legal process served on us, protect and defend our rights, or act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of others.
• We will use your personal information to protect against potential fraud. We may verify with third parties the information collected in the course of processing a gift, event registration or other donation. If you use a credit card, we may use card authorization and fraud screening services to verify that your card information and address match the information that you supplied to us, and that the card being used has not been reported lost or stolen.

Except as described in this Donor Privacy Policy or at the time we request the information, we do not otherwise disclose your personal information to any third parties. Further, MBIF will not sell or trade your personally identifiable information to any third parties.

INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THIRD PARTIES ON THE MBIF SITE

At times, certain funds are established with MBIF with the intention to conduct their own fundraising. In order to enable donors to make donations to those fundraising funds at MBIF, we have arranged for a vendor named Razorpay to host a payment gateway service through which donors can make donations and access details about those donations. When you make a donation through Razorpay, you may be asked to provide certain contact information (such as your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address) and billing information (such as your credit card number and expiration date) in order to enable your donation to be processed and confirmation to be provided to you. MBIF will not have access to the complete credit card information that you submit via Razorpay (although it may retain the last four digits of your credit card number in order to process any refunds), and Razorpay will be entitled to use such information solely for the purpose of processing the transaction and permitting you to access your transaction details.

SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not disclose any personal information about our donors, or former donors, to anyone except as permitted or required by law.

SECURITY OF INFORMATION

MBIF is committed to protecting the security of your personal information transmitted to and from this website and will take reasonable security precautions to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won’t be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. With respect to the financial information that you transmit via Razorpay, please review the privacy and data security policies of Razorpay, the vendor that will be transmitting your donation information to the entity responsible for processing and settling those transactions.
