The content of this page is an official policy approved by the American Standard Renewable Fuels Corp (ASRF) Board of Directors and adopted from the Wikipedia Foundation under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License; additional terms may apply.
American Standard Renewable Fuels Corp (ASRF) maintains the highest level of respect for the privacy of its donors. In furtherance of our commitment to honor your rights, we have developed this Donor Privacy Policy to guide our staff and or others on how they may and may not use your personal information. This policy may be updated from time to time.
Data Retention
American Standard Renewable Fuels Corp, Board of Directors, consistent with its long-standing commitment to minimizing the data retention of donors and others, adopts the policy of retaining the least amount of personally identifiable information consistent with maintenance of its services, with its privacy policy, or as required by state or federal legal provisions under United States of America law.
Policy
What information we collect
ASRF collects and uses various personal information data from donors that includes: amount donated, address, telephone number, donor comments and e-mail address. Tax laws in the United States and the State of California require the Company to keep contact information and contribution level of donors on file.
How we use that information
ASRF will never publish, sell, trade, rent or share names (unless released for publication), e-mail or mail addresses, or telephone numbers of our donors. ASRF will use contact information (e-mail, telephone number and address) of donors for these purposes only:
- Distribute receipts for donations
- Thank donors for their donation
- Inform donors about upcoming fundraising and other activities of ASRF
- Internal analysis and record keeping
- Reporting to relevant U.S. and State agencies (these reports are not for public inspection)
- Contact donors about changes to this policy
However, properly anonymized donor information is used for promotional and fundraising activities. We allow donors the option to have their name publicly associated with their donation unless the donor explicitly chooses the “anonymous” field when donating online. In all other cases the default is for staff and others to assume all donations are not to be publicly announced unless the donor explicitly indicates otherwise. Comments given in donor forms are published in public lists and may be used in promotional materials while comments sent to us via email, fax or telephone are kept strictly confidential.
Financial information
All access to donor financial information is strictly limited to professional staff who need to process those data. No such data are given to any person, organization or group who does not need to access those data.
ASRF only uses online payment processing services with world class security and strong reputations. ASRF does not store, nor does it have access to, your credit card information, bank account numbers, or other account data sent to those processing services. Direct Donations to the company are held in our corporate attorneys’ confidential possession until deposited and or go to a bank lockbox. This provides the highest possible level of security and confidentiality.
Donor Bill of Rights
American Standard Renewable Fuels Corp (ASRF) subscribes to the Donor Bill of Rights. Donations and giving is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To assure that your donation merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have these rights:
- To be informed of the organization’s mission, of the way the organization intends to use donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.
- To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization’s management board and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
- To have access to the organization’s most recent financial statements.
- To be assured their donations will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
- To receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition.
- To be assured that information about their donations is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
- To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature.
- To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization or hired solicitors.
- To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization may intend to share. ASRF will never share our donor lists unless it is for the internal furtherance of our policies and objectives.
- To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers.
- The text of this statement in its entirety was developed by the American Association of Fund-Raising Counsel (AAFRC), Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), and National Society of Fund Raising Executives (NSFRE).
