Your information is only shared with non-profit organizations in order to help process donations. Once you make a donation, that nonprofit will be able to see your name and email.

 

Storing and Protecting Your Information

We maintain reasonable safeguards for the services to protect against loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the personal data that we collect from you. We restrict access to personal data collected about you on the services to our employees, nonprofit organizations and those who are otherwise specified in this Privacy Policy, or others who need to know that information to provide the Services to you or in the course of conducting our business operations or activities. Note, however, that no website or mobile application can guarantee 100% security. 

 

We store your personal data for as long as required to provide the Services to you. We may retain personal data after we cease providing Services to you to the extent necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, and for the purpose of fraud monitoring, detection and prevention, including our tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations. Where we retain data, we do so in accordance with any limitation periods and records retention obligations that are imposed by applicable law.

 

Donation Processing

We partner with Stripe, Inc. ( “Stripe” ), an payment processor to process your donations; therefore, some of the personal payment data you provide will be shared with Stripe. We encourage you to review Stripe’s privacy policy prior to providing us with payment information. Please note that the payment information that you provide at the time of donation is 1) never seen by Piesa Giving or any nonprofit organizations directly, 2) is used only to process your donation and will not be stored or used for any other purpose.

 

Information Nonprofit Will Provide

When nonprofits want to set up an account and donation page through our website, individual representatives of the nonprofit provide us with their name, email address, and other information. We use this information to set up a nonprofit account and donation page, process requests from nonprofits, and communicate with nonprofits.

Use of Cookies

The Good Steward website may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

 

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Good Steward pages, or register with Good Steward site or services, a cookie helps Good Steward to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Good Steward website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Good Steward features that you customized.

 

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Good Steward services or websites you visit.
