The Mentoring Project Giving and Privacy Policy

The Mentoring Project is pleased to provide information to all of its customers about its online privacy policy. Please be assured that The Mentoring Project uses its best efforts to protect the privacy of visitors to this Web site.

Types of Information Collected and How It Is Used

The Mentoring Project gathers personal information, such as first and last names, e-mail addresses, and credit card numbers, only when voluntarily submitted by you. If you make an online donation, personal information will be collected from you in order to process that donation. All personal information used to process donations are collected over secure communication channels (128bit SSL encryption), as described here.

We will only use the personal information collected from you to send you a confirmation e-mail of any online giving.

Sharing of Personal Information

Companies may be engaged by The Mentoring Project to perform a variety of functions, such as assisting with donation collection, providing technical services for our Internet sites, etc. Such companies may have access to personal information if needed to perform certain functions. However, these companies may use such personal information only for the purpose of performing that function and may not use it for any other purpose. Other than as provided in this privacy policy, The Mentoring Project does not sell, transfer, or disclose personal information to third parties.

The Mentoring Project reserves the right to use or disclose any information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request, to protect the integrity of the site, to fulfill your requests, or to cooperate in any law enforcement investigation or an investigation on a public safety matter.
