Donor Privacy Policy

Wishing Star Foundation maintains the highest level of respect for the privacy of its donors. In furtherance of our commitment to honor your privacy, we have developed this Donor Privacy Policy to guide our volunteers and staff on how they may and may not use your personal information. This policy may be updated from time to time.

Wishing Star collects and uses personal information from donors that includes: amount donated, address, telephone number, donor comments and e-mail address. Tax laws in the United States require Wishing Star to keep contact information and contribution level of donors on file.

How Wishing Star uses the collected information:

Wishing Star will never publish, sell, trade, rent or share, e-mail or mail addresses, or telephone numbers of our donors. Wishing Star will use contact information (e-mail, telephone number and address) of donors for the following purposes only:

• Distribute receipts for donations
• Thank donors for their donation
• Inform donors about upcoming fundraising and other activities of The Foundation
• Internal analysis and record keeping
• Reporting to relevant to 990 requirements
• Contact donors about changes to this policy

We allow donors the option to have their name publicly associated with their donation unless the donor explicitly chooses the "anonymous" field when donating online.

Financial Information

All access to donor financial information is strictly limited to professional staff who need to process those data. No such data are given to any person, organization or group who does not need to access those data.

Wishing Star only uses an online payment processing service with security and strong reputation. Wishing Star does not store, nor does it have access to, your credit card information, bank account numbers, or other account data sent to those processing services.
