1. Donor privacy protections
Favor makes every effort to protect donor and donation data, both online and offline. When you make a financial or in-kind donation, you provide your name and contact information. Financial donors provide standard payment information including, in many circumstances, credit card data. We protect your information in a variety of ways, as described below. We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information. When you access our website, www.FavorIntl.org, for information or to make a donation, all of your access is protected by SSL encryption so that data you enter into contact or donation forms cannot be access by third parties. If you establish an account on our website, we do not know or store your password.

Many donors use credit cards for donations. We protect the security of credit card transactions using a number of measures such as SSL encryption, access controls, network firewalls, and physical security. These measures make it extremely difficult for anyone to intercept the credit card information you send to us. When we work with other companies to process credit card transactions, those companies also use encryption and other appropriate security measures. We will not sell, share, or trade our donors’ personally identifiable information with any other entity, except as described elsewhere in this policy for limited and defined purposes. In addition, we will not send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations. Favor has vendors that assist with processing and managing donations and donor data. We give these vendors access to donor data only for the purposes of fulfilling our services to you. Our vendors are bound by strict confidentiality rules and are permitted to use donor data only to support Favor’s operations. Favor agrees to and abides by the Donor Bill of Rights created by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), and the Giving Institute: Leading Consultants to Non-Profits. In addition, Favor is held accountable by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability for the statements we make concerning the use, function, and impact of your donations.
