Confidentiality Statement
Atlantic Street Center believes in protecting the privacy of our philanthropic donors and prospective donors and the confidentiality of information concerning them. Donor records and other donor information are highly confidential and protected by organizational policy as well as by best practices in the fundraising field.

Privacy Practices
Atlantic Street Center has put safeguards in place to ensure that donor information is not disclosed or shared more widely than is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was gathered. Donors are provided with an opportunity to be anonymous and to request that their name and/or the amount of their gift not be publicly released. Donors who request anonymity, either for gifts or for themselves, will be publicly acknowledged as “anonymous.” Information on anonymous donors will be flagged prominently as “anonymous” in all paper files and computer records.

Individual Donor Records
Individual Donor records, whether in hard copy or electronic form, are the property of Atlantic Street Center. These records contain specific information pertaining to those individuals important to the development efforts of Atlantic Street Center.

Access to the donor database is maintained and authorized by the Executive Director. The donor database can be accessed only by fundraising staff, the Executive Director, and IT staff.

Accounting staff members, as well as external auditors and any regulatory agency personnel and people operating pursuant to legal process that may be conducting audits, reviews, or other investigations, may require access to all hard copy and electronic files in the development records in order to conduct their work.
