INFORMATION COLLECTION & USE

Several of GivingFire solutions require the client to use a web-based registration form for clients to activate service. We collect client contact information (such as name, phone number, email address, etc). All collected contact information is stored in our secure database and used to establish service, send correspondences related to the service, and keep the client updated with necessary information.

GivingFire maintains the right to email/contact active clients for the purpose of administering services. All sensitive information and records are only accessible by the client owning the data and are secured by industry standard passwords and encryption.

VENDORS

GivingFire may share personally identifiable information with our vendors for the purpose of providing our service. For example, information may be shared for payment processing purposes with a credit card processor or gateway. We may work with other parties to provide specific services. When a client signs up for a service, names, or other contact information that is necessary to provide these services may be shared between the parties. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing their specific service(s).

GivingFire does reserve the right to analyze the data in order to provide a better client experience and enhance our provided solution.

NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES

If any changes are to be made in the privacy or security practices for our hosted and web-based solutions, we will send a notification to the email address on record for the client and post the changes in our privacy statement on our Web page.

CHOICE/OPT-OUT

GivingFire provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving promotional communications from us. However, we maintain the right to communicate with active users about their account.

CORRECTIONS/UPDATES

GivingFire provides our clients with the means for maintaining an up-to-date client profile. Maintaining accurate records regarding the client's account information is vital to the security of the service. Clients are required to notify GivingFire promptly of any changes in the information provided for their service registration. Registration information can be updated by contacting the GivingFire Support Team at support@givingfire.com.

SECURITY

At GivingFire, security is our utmost concern when dealing with the Internet and especially when transferring personal files and sensitive information. Without security in every aspect of GivingFire services, our own business and reputation would be in jeopardy. That is why we have taken substantial precautions to ensure the security of your data not only while in transit to the server, but also while stored on the server. The following are overviews of the ways in which you are protected:

ACCOUNT & DATA PROTECTION

  • Your account is password protected.
  • Individual account usernames are unique.
  • Access to your account is limited to key support individuals.
  • On occasion clients will need to contact GivingFire support. Clients are verified and may be required to provide documented authorization approving the execution of certain requested action.
  • As representatives of GivingFire, support individuals are bound to the services Service Agreement and the GivingFire Privacy and Security Policy. When support individuals leave the employment of GivingFire, immediate measures are taken so that they cannot access any of GivingFire's systems or data.

NETWORK PROTECTION

  • GivingFire servers are PCI 3.1 compliant and maintain 3rd-party security audits, on a quarterly basis at a minimum.
  • Industry standard firewalls are used to limit all but secure traffic.
  • All server connections authenticated.
  • Failed access attempts are logged and reviewed.
  • Best operating system and database security practices are followed.
  • Only software necessary to provide the service is running on the servers.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

DATA SERVICES

GivingFire does not and will not sell, rent, loan, or make available to any client or any other third party the names, addresses, or data received from our clients. Data received by the GivingFire is held on a secure server to which only GivingFire has access. It is our standard operating procedure to not retain any sensitive client data at any time. After an account is closed, we may keep non-sensitive information for the purpose of client-initiated reactivation or internal analysis.

PROMOTIONAL & MARKETING SERVICES

GivingFire collects certain information (such as name, email address, phone number, titles, goals, etc) through our web service to better communicate new solutions that best fit the needs of your organization. At any time, you can choose to opt-out of these promotional emails by following the opt-out instructions at the bottom of the email you no longer wish to receive or by contacting support@givingfire.com. Opt-out does not apply to the receipt of mandatory service communications that are considered part of certain GivingFire services, which you may receive periodically unless you cancel service.
