Web Privacy Statement

The objective of our Privacy Policy is to maintain your trust and confidence when handling your personal information. We protect this information by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. Our employees are trained on handling personal information.  When we use outside vendors to provide services for the Society, we require them to protect the confidentiality of your personal information.

The St Vincent de Paul Society is committed to protecting your privacy. It will take commercially reasonable steps to safeguard your privacy. The St Vincent de Paul Society will only share information about you with outside vendors for the express purpose for which it has been collected, donation of a vehicle. Outside of sharing information for the purpose for which it has been collected, personal information is not passed on to any entity outside of St. Vincent de Paul Society. Information is shared with others inside the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Examples of this would be reporting on the number of vehicles donated by zip code or sending you a newsletter on our activities in your community.

If you wish to access the information we hold about you or have any questions about this please contact our office at 169 Stillman Street, San Francisco, CA 94107. Information that has been collected will be amended if you consider details are incorrect. Any personal information that is considered to be beyond its "use by" date will be destroyed. Reasonable steps will be taken to ensure that any personal information collected will be held securely.
