Beacon of Hope Outreach has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://beaconofhopeoutreach.org.
Our site’s registration form requires users to give us contact information (like their name and email address). We use donor contact information from the registration form to send the user information on events, programs, donation history, and other information about Beacon of Hope Outreach (BOHO). The donor’s contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.
We will not give, or sell your Email address. The only exception to this is if another non-profit organization assumes responsibility and takes control over our donor list. In that case you will be given two weeks notice before the transfer to opt out.
This site contains links to other sites and Beacon of Hope Outreach (BOHO) is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
Contact information from order forms are used to send acknowledgements, donation receipt letters, and information about Beacon of Hope Outreach (BOHO) to our donors. The donor’s contact information is also used to get in touch with them when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below. Credit Card information that is collected is used to charge the user donations. It is never divulged to any outside party.
