OUR PRIVACY POLICY
Effective 12.15.2005
Personal contact information we collect and what we do with it
When you are making a donation, purchasing a product, contributing to our guest book, or subscribing to our online newsletter, we ask you for personal contact information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address. We will use this contact information to provide you with information or resources you have requested, such as information about the Mikey’s Way Foundation, a receipt, or a financial report, or we will use your information to contact you to clarify or verify other information, such as an order you placed, or a donation you made.
We will not add your name and contact information to any mailing lists without your prior knowledge or express permission. In other words, we will always ask or inform you before adding you to a mailing list. If we do not, you will not be added. If you have agreed to be added to one of our mailing lists, such as our e-mail newsletter list or regular mailing list, then you may receive from us news about the Mikey’s Way Foundation and information on how you can support the organization's mission.
If you make a donation and agree to be added to our postal mailing list, we may contact you from time to time to offer you services from third parties that will directly benefit the Mikey’s Way Foundation.
Personal contact information is not shared with any organization outside of the Mikey’s Way Foundation and our agents (reputable companies we use for services, such as shipping Mikey’s Way Foundation products or sending Mikey’s Way Foundation mail). We have contracts to protect your privacy with all of our agents.
Other contact information we collect and what we do with it
In some instances, we ask for contact information for people other than yourself – for example, e-mail addresses of friends to whom you wish to send a copy of one of our pages or the mailing address of someone you wish to have us notify of a donation you have made. Such contact information is not added to any mailing list nor is the information shared with any other organization. Collecting such information for our own use is called prospecting. The Mikey’s Way Foundation does not prospect.
