Forms that we provide on our website, such as the Scholarship Applications, Registrations, Order Forms, and Donation Forms, will require personal information that will only be used for that specific purpose. However, persons responding on any CTD forms may have their names placed on a mailing list for future use, including sending them grant information, donor solicitations, scholarship news and information, conference notices, and the like.

This information may be used in future marketing efforts, to generate reports, and to notify them of any future announcements. Personal information about donors, including anything more than address information, will not be provided on any reports. The only information CTD will share on reports are name, address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address. Our website displays a counter but no personal information is collected from it. Donors who do not wish to share any information, including address information, with other organizations may indicated this on the Donor Response Card, in writing, and by e-mail.

DONOR PRIVACY POLICY
June 10, 2008

This donor privacy policy of Catching the Dream explains why we collect information from donors and how we protect their privacy on our website. Donors should contact CTD directly if they have any questions about these policies. As the law or regulations dictate, CTD may change this policy from time to time. Any such changes will be posted on this website. Such changes will be dated and will be in effect as of the day of posting. What information we collect. CTD maintains donor records on a database called “Raiser’s Edge” from Blackbaud.

Our record forms ask donors to give us their name, address, phone, fax, and e-mail. They may provide other information such as occupation, interests, names of family members, employer, spouse information, and institutional memberships. We do not ask for sensitive information such as social security numbers. Information on credit cards and bank account information will be stored in hard copy files only, and not on computer records. All donor information is also stored in hard copy files in the CTD offices. These files are secured by lock and key as well as internal security.

How we use information. We use donor information to maintain correspondence with donors. We also share address information only with other nonprofit organizations on an occasional basis. Donors who do not wish to have their information shared should notify CTD to be placed in a “DO NOT SHARE” category. Donor information so flagged will be eliminated automatically from information-sharing files.
