Mobile Information Privacy

We respect the privacy of individuals who provide their mobile telephone numbers. We do not sell or rent mobile telephone numbers or SMS opt-in information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We do not share SMS consent or opt-in data with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may share information with service providers that help us deliver and manage communications on our behalf, such as SMS messaging platforms, email providers, and website service providers.

• Protection of rights: When reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of CLAM, its members, or others.

• With your consent: When you authorize us to share information for a particular purpose.

We do not authorize service providers to use your personal information for their own independent marketing purposes.

 

7. Donations and Fundraising

We may maintain records of donations to acknowledge contributions, communicate about charitable programs, issue receipts where appropriate, and meet applicable recordkeeping requirements.

If donations are processed through an outside fundraising or payment platform, that provider may independently collect and process information under its own privacy policy and terms.

We take reasonable steps to limit access to donor information and do not sell donor lists.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Access to personal information is limited to individuals and service providers who need it for legitimate organizational purposes.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, maintain appropriate membership and donation records, resolve disputes, and comply with legal or recordkeeping obligations.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
