Understanding Your Privacy Rights and Choices
When it comes to how your Personal Data is collected, stored, used, and shared, you have rights and choices. Some Personal Data is required for our services to function. If you are a participating nonprofit organization, you may review and update your Personal Data that you have provided in your PayPal Giving Fund profile anytime, by visiting https://www.paypal.com/givingfund/profile.
You can control how Personal Data is collected or shared, as well as how we communicate with you.
Your choices about how we communicate with you differ depending on the purpose of the message and how it is delivered. Some messages are considered optional, and some are necessary for us to provide our services. We use email, phone, and paper mail, depending on the situation, to communicate with you.
If you are a participating nonprofit organization, you can indicate your preferences at registration or change your communication settings in your profile. You may also contact us.
You also have choices regarding disclosures we make that are considered optional. If you indicate that you would like to allow optional disclosures, third parties may contact you for various reasons. For example, donors and fundraisers have a choice about whether we share their contact information with the charities they support. Participating non-profit organizations, in turn, can choose whether to share their contact information with our partner organizations (websites and online services with which we partner to donate to PayPal Giving Fund), so that they can be contacted about campaigns to benefit them on the partner websites.
The Personal Data We Collect
We may collect your Personal Data when you use our services, such as when you make a donation to us, raise funds for us by creating a fundraising campaign on one of the websites or services with which PPGF partners, or receive a grant from us, or as otherwise required to access or use our services.
