Privacy and Donors’ Rights

TBHC collects contact information such as name, address, phone, email, and giving history from its donors, for the purposes of providing information about the organization, acknowledging and providing tax receipts for donations, seeking input from its stakeholders, responding to inquiries and comments, and for other internal marketing purposes. The use and collection of this information is limited to that which is necessary to administer its operations and maintain its quality standards in carrying out its mission.

Security

TBHC’s accounting policies provide that donors’ credit card information is not retained after the completion of the donation/purchase transaction. Security protocols and encryption technology are utilized when gathering personal and/or credit card information, and these financial transactions are processed through internally controlled, secure transaction sites.
