Collection and Use of Personal Information
As with most websites, the Indianapolis Foundation collects standard tracking data when you visit our site. This may include your IP address, browser type, pages visited, the amount of time spent on our site, and files downloaded. This information is gathered through website server logs and used to evaluate and improve our site content and functionality. No personally identifiable information is collected through this tracking process.
We only collect personal information when it is voluntarily provided by you—such as when you make a donation, complete a form, sign up for our newsletter, register for an event, or otherwise communicate with us through the website. This may include:
- Name
- Email address
- Mailing address
- Phone number
- Donation and payment details (via secure third-party vendors)
We will never sell, rent, loan, or otherwise share your personal information with any third-party individual or organization. We may, however, release information when required by law or when necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of the Foundation or others.
Security of Personal Information
The Indianapolis Foundation takes data security seriously. We use modern technologies and practices to safeguard the personal and financial information we collect. Once shared with us, your personal data remains confidential and secure.
We partner with GiveGab (givegab.com) to process online donations. GiveGab is PCI-DSS Level I and SOC 1 Type 2 certified and adheres to rigorous security protocols, including regular audits, internal code reviews, infrastructure scans, and penetration tests. GiveGab does not store any credit or debit card information, further reducing the risk of data theft. The security of your donation and personal information is a top priority for both The Indianapolis Foundation and GiveGab.
Electronic Newsletters and Communications
We may occasionally use service providers to help us distribute information—such as newsletters or updates—solely for the purpose of sharing news about our work and impact. You may unsubscribe at any time by using the link included in our emails or by contacting us directly. If you experience any difficulty unsubscribing, we are happy to assist.
