Privacy policy

The Reachout Project, TRPUSA & TRPGlobal respects the privacy interests and preferences of our donors and website visitors. We are committed to full transparency in outlining what information we collect about donors and visitors, how it is used and how you can opt-out of those programs (online or traditional communications) if you so choose. 

Personal contact information we collect and what we do with it 

When you are making a donation, purchasing a product, contributing to our guest book, 

or subscribing to our online newsletter, The Reachout Project, TRPUSA & TRPGlobal asks you for personal contact information such as your name, mailing address, phone number and e-mail address. We may use this contact information to provide you with a receipt or financial report; to contact you to clarify or obtain information about an order you placed, a donation you made, or to send you additional information about The Reachout Project, TRPUSA & TRPGlobal.

If you make a donation, we may contact you from time to time (by a staff member or volunteer - we do not use outside vendors to communicate with donors nor do we engage in telemarketing to offer you an opportunity to make another gift, or to offer services from third parties that will directly benefit The Reachout Project, TRPUSA & TRPGlobal). We will always give you the opportunity to opt-out of future communications from us.

From time to time, The Reachout Project, TRPUSA & TRPGlobal rents or exchanges its list of supporters with other trusted organizations to benefit our programs and activities. We have found this to be the most cost-effective method of reaching additional potential constituents 

and hope you value the information they send you. Your name is only made available to these carefully screened organizations through third-party mailing agents for a limited use. Such organizations will not have continued access to your name and address unless you choose to respond  to their initial mailing. You have the opportunity to have your name removed from a list rental or exchange (we only rent/exchange direct mail lists) by writing to us. 

Personal contact information may also be shared with certain vendors, i.e., reputable companies we use for services such as shipping The Reachout Project, TRPUSA & TRPGlobal products or sending mail. We have confidentiality agreements in place with all such companies to protect your privacy. 

Personal billing information we collect and what we do with it

In addition to personal contact information, we ask for billing information, such as your billing address and credit card number, when you make a donation or purchase a product. We use secure servers to gather and process your billing information. Your billing information is not shared with any other organizations, and your credit card number is not retained once your 

transaction has been authorized and processed.

Financial transactions and our secure servers

All financial transactions on our website, specifically donations and purchases, are managed through our agent, DonorBox. All transactions use an encrypted channel, take place on secure servers and occur in real time. No financial data, such as your credit card number, is transferred via a less-secure channel, such as encrypted e-mail, for processing. Moreover, 

once your transaction has been completed, your credit card number is not retained.

Other contact information we collect and what we do with it

In some instances, we ask for contact information for people other than yourself including, for example, e-mail addresses of friends to whom you send e-cards or a copy of one of our Web pages, or the mailing address of someone you wish us to notify of a donation you have made.

The information we collect is used to send the donation notification or information you requested and/or to inform the recipient of the opportunity to subscribe to receive The Reachout Project, TRPUSA & TRPGlobal updates, stories and opportunities to get involved. 

Such contact information is not shared with any other organizations nor is it added to any mailing list without the recipient’s explicit consent.

How to view or change your information

If you do not wish to participate in our list rental or exchange activities, or if you wish to modify the frequency of future communications from The Reachout Project, TRPUSA & TRPGlobal, please e-mail address below.

Also, with the exception of credit card numbers, which are not retained, you can view and request changes to all the information you have given us,

including any mailing lists you may be on, by contacting us.

This 

cookie does not capture or hold any personally identifying information about you, and is deleted when you end your session by leaving our website or closing your browser.

Cookies

When you visit our website, we might store some information on your computer in the form of a “cookie” (i.e., a small piece of data that stores information on your browser in your computer’s hard drive) or similar file.

Similarly, we also use cookies for “retargeting” in our Internet advertising campaigns so that third party vendors, including Google, can show you advertising about The Reachout Project, TRPUSA & TRPGlobal as you browse the Internet. Retargeting is a marketing tool that identifies you as a previous visitor to a The Reachout Project, TRPUSA & TRPGlobal website and targets you

for specific outreach messages, encouraging you to revisit our website or consider donating. Any personal information we gather will be kept private and not shared with other organizations. If you prefer, you can usually set your browser to refuse cookies, or to notify you when you receive a new cookie. You can also opt out of receiving cookies on The Reachout Project, TRPUSA & TRPGlobal websites for Google advertising by visiting the Google advertising opt-out page.
