The Brooklyn College Foundation is committed to safeguarding contributor privacy. We operate under the following set of privacy principles:

The only information the Brooklyn College Foundation obtains about online contributors or individual visitors to its Web site is that which is supplied voluntarily by contributors or visitors.

In cases when the Foundation may need personal information to provide visitors with customized content or to inform them about new features or services, visitors are explicitly asked for that information.

Personally identifiable information provided by visitors (e.g., name, e-mail or home address, etc.) will not be disclosed to any other party. If, at any time, the Foundation believes it would be to the benefit of site visitors and contributors to share information with other organizations, visitors will be explicitly asked for permission to do so.

Brooklyn College Foundation Online is not designed for use by children nor does the Web site seek to collect information on children who may visit the site.

The Brooklyn College Foundation employs strict security measures to safeguard all online financial transactions: A secure server hosts files and forms that are used to complete transactions. Personal contributor information is stored in a secure database and any data sent to third parties to complete a transaction are encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. To ensure the privacy of contributors, the Foundation does not store credit card information.

Additional details on our information gathering, use, and privacy practices are provided below.
