Personal Information

SVG Foundation is committed to respecting the privacy of our online visitors. We do not collect personally identifiable information unless it is voluntarily provided by the user. You are not required to register or submit personal details to browse our website.

We only collect information such as names, addresses, postal codes, and email addresses when willingly submitted by visitors—for instance, when making an online donation. This information is used to acknowledge donations for tax purposes.

SVG Foundation does not sell or trade personal data with third parties. We will only share such information if explicitly authorized by the individual or required by law.

Credit Card Information Security

SVG Foundation employs industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to safeguard your transactions and protect the confidentiality of your personal information. This advanced security measure makes it highly difficult for unauthorized parties to intercept your credit card details.

We do not sell or trade credit card information with third parties, and it will only be shared if required by law.

If you have any concerns about the security of your credit card information, you can also make a contribution by calling 9582677017, or by sending personal checks or money orders to:

Security

We prioritize the security of your information. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have implemented appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial measures to protect and safeguard the data we collect online.

Donations

When visitors make a donation through our form, we collect necessary information, including contact details (such as name, email, and mailing address) and payment details (such as credit card number and expiration date). This information is used for billing, processing donations, and issuing receipts. If there are any issues with a donation, we use the provided contact information to reach out to the donor.

With the donor’s permission, their name and contact details may be shared with carefully selected organizations and charities that may be of interest. Additionally, upon request, we provide information on larger donations to appropriate charities and donors for tax purposes. Financial and credit card information is NEVER shared or disclosed.

If you prefer not to receive these communications in the future, you can opt out by emailing us at info@svgfoundation.com or writing to us at the address provided.
