Privacy Policy
VillageReach respects the privacy of its supporters and online visitors. The following policy describes how we collect, store, use and protect personal data. By accessing our websites, social media platforms, newsletters, and other online content, you agree to and understand this privacy policy.
Data Collection and Storage
VillageReach collects personal data provided by individuals on a voluntary basis. We may collect names, organizational affiliations, email addresses, postal addresses, and phone numbers when provided by an individual. In some instances, we may collect other information such as job title, gender, and professional associations. We also receive information when an individual accesses our online content (website, newsletter, social media channels) including IP addresses, time, date, browser used, and actions taken within a site. We may receive information about which electronic mailings an individual receives, which articles are viewed, and what other actions are taken.
Personal data is stored in one of our contact management databases, which are accessible by our employees and service providers (processors). We work with the database platforms and any service providers to ensure your data are protected.
VillageReach will never sell or share your personal data with third parties.
VillageReach collects additional information on individuals who apply for jobs or make donations online. The additional privacy considerations and use of this information can be found on the specific platforms used for recruiting and donation processing. VillageReach does not collect, process or store credit card information – all credit card transactions are processed through a third-party vendor, Network for Good.
VillageReach partners with Network for Good to securely process your online credit card payment via Network for Good (tax ID 68-0480736). Online donations are subject to Network for Good’s Privacy, Security & Disclosure Statement.

Additional purposes may be described in supplemental privacy notices tied to specific use cases.
Data Protection
The transmission of data online is never completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the total security of your information. We maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent the unauthorized use, access, and sharing of your personal data. We expect our service providers to adhere to strict data protection policies, and limit access to personal data within the organization.

All newsletters, updates, and auto-generated emails will include the option to access, correct, or delete your personal information, as well as manage your subscriptions.
