We may collect personal information that can identify you, such as:

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share our donor or contact lists with any third parties for their commercial or marketing purposes.

We only share your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Third-Party Service Providers: We share information with trusted third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as secure payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) and email delivery services. These providers are strictly contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the services they provide to us.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal regulations.
  • Donor Recognition: With your explicit permission, we may occasionally recognize donors in our annual reports or newsletters.

Donor Anonymity: In alignment with our Donation Acceptance Policy, if you request that your donation remain anonymous, MOC Foundation, Inc. will make every reasonable effort to protect your identity and will not publish your name in any public materials.

4. Data Security

We employ industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration.

  • All online financial transactions are encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
  • Access to personal donor and participant data is strictly restricted to authorized staff and board members who require the information to perform their duties.

Please note, however, that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
