The Charlotte Speech and Hearing Center, Inc. maintains the highest level of respect for the privacy
of its donors. In furtherance of our commitment to honor your rights, 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.
What information we collect
The Charlotte Speech and Hearing Center 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 and the State of North Carolina requires that our organization keep contact information and
contribution level of donors on file.
How we use that information
The Charlotte Speech and Hearing Center will never publish, sell, trade, rent or share names,
e-mail or mail addresses, or telephone numbers of our donors. The Charlotte Speech and Hearing
Center will use contact information (e-mail, telephone number and address) of donors for these purposes only:
Distribute receipts for donations
Thank donors for their donation
Inform donors about upcoming fundraising and other activities that
involve
Charlotte Speech and Hearing Center
Internal analysis and record keeping
Reporting to relevant U.S. and State agencies (these reports are
not for
public inspection)
Contact donors about changes to this policy
However, properly anonymized donor information is used for promotional and fundraising activities. In all other cases the default is for staff and volunteers to assume all donations are not to be publicly announced unless the donor explicitly indicates otherwise. Donor commendation of our programs or services via our website may be used in promotional materials while comments sent to us via email, fax or telephone are kept strictly confidential, unless explicit donor permission is received.
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.
