Donor Privacy Policy
Compass 82 is committed to respecting the privacy of our financial and in-kind donors, whether the donation is made online, by mail, or any other method.
When you make a financial or in-kind donation, you provide your name and contact information. Financial donors provide standard payment information including, in many circumstances, credit card data. We protect your information in a variety of ways, as described below.
We use industry standard safeguards to protect your information. Many donors use credit cards for donations.

We will not sell, share or trade our donors’ personally identifiable information with any other entity, except as described below. In addition, we will not send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations, unless a donor has given us specific permission to do so.
Compass 82 uses donors’ information to understand their interests in our mission, designate as per their wishes and to update them on the organization’s plans and activities. It is shared with staff, board members, volunteers and consultants only on a “need-to-know” basis. The organization also assures donors that their names and addresses will not be shared with any third party unless permission has been granted. For those who do not wish to be included in our annual report or other publications, donors should contact Compass 82 to have their names removed.
Staff, board members and volunteers involved in fundraising often are privy to personal information about a donor’s giving history, family, wealth and assets. We respect the confidentiality of our donors, understanding that it is vital to our donors and to Compass 82 that we keep this information confidential.
