Shippensburg University FOundation online Privacy Policy
Welcome to the Shippensburg University Foundation website. Your right to privacy is very important to us, therefore the SU Foundation has created an online privacy policy.
The SU Foundation is committed to building positive, high-trust relationships with our donors and prospective donors; providing performance excellence; and operating with the highest ethical standards. The SU Foundation has a duty to protect the confidentiality of private, non-public donor information. Respect for a donor's right to privacy is a basic standard of integrity for all SU Foundation activities.
Information Collection and Use
If you visit our Web site and do not voluntarily enter your contact information, the SU Foundation does not track personal information about you such as your name and e-mail address. If you volunteer to provide information about yourself to make an online gift or change your address, the SU Foundation will securely record that information for internal administrative purposes only. There are occasions when we will ask for additional information from you. We do this to better understand and respond to your needs and to provide you with services that may be valuable to you. For example, when you ask a question or update your record through the SU Foundation website, we ask you for some personal information. We use this information to deliver to you the best advice and highest quality service as well as offers that we think may be relevant to you. We may also contact you regarding a website problem or other customer service-related issues. Personal information is also required when you make an online gift. The information you provide to us will be used for the purpose of crediting you correctly for your gift. We do track how many visits our site receives, the average time users spend per page, and other general, non-personally identifiable information about how visitors are using the site.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
The SU Foundation does not sell personal information collected through its website. Information obtained (vs. collected) through online surveys is used exclusively by the SU Foundation. The SU Foundation website has two locations where visitors can voluntarily enter their contact information. First, the "Update Your Contact Information" is where you can update your mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address so that the SU Foundation can stay in contact with you. Second, the "Make a Gift" section is where you can designate a credit card gift to the SU Foundation. The SU Foundation enters the information you provide - excluding your credit card number - into our secure donor database so that we have your gift history or change of address record.
Usage Tracking
We monitor how you use our website including search terms you enter, pages visited, and documents viewed. Web usage and non-personally identifiable information is used to help us understand areas for future research and to evaluate how well our web pages are reaching and serving the needs of our visitors.

Security
The SU Foundation provides its donors with a secure online experience. To do this, we use a variety of security measures to maintain the safety and confidentiality of personal information about you.
