Your privacy is of great importance to us. Please read the following to learn more about our Policy.

By visiting or using the Website or Services (as defined below) in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Policy and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your information in the following ways. Any capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning given to them in our Terms of Use.

Catapult Fundraising complies with all applicable data privacy laws of the US Federal and State governments.

1. What Does This Policy Cover?

This Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") that we gather when you are accessing or using our Website or Services. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.

2. Collected Information

2.1 Information that you provide to us

We require customers who use the services offered on our Site (collectively, the "Service") to give us contact information, such as their name, company name, address, phone number, and e-mail address, and financial qualification and billing information, such as billing name and address, credit card number. At the time you express interest in attaining additional information, or when you register for the Service, we may also ask for additional personal information, such as title, department name, fax number, or additional company information.

2.2 Information that is collected automatically

Catapult Fundraising may also collect certain information from visitors to and customers of the Site, such as Internet addresses. This information is logged to help diagnose technical problems, and to administer our Site in order to constantly improve the quality of the Service. We may also track and analyze non-identifying and aggregate usage and volume statistical information from our visitors and customers.

Technologies such as cookies, beacons, scripts and tags are used by us and our third party partners. These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the website, tracking users' movements around the site, and gathering demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual and aggregated basis. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing these types of tracking technologies.

We use Local Shared Objects, such as Flash cookies, and Local Storage, such as HTML5, to store content information and preferences. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our website or to display advertising based upon your web browsing activity also use Flash cookies to collect and store information.

Our website may include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button, and widgets, such as the Share this button or interactive mini-programs that run on our website. These features may collect your Internet protocol address, which page you are visiting on our website, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy Policy of the company providing it.

2.3 Cookies

When you interact with the Catapult Fundraising Website we strive to make that experience easy and meaningful. When you come to our Web site, our Web server sends a cookie to your computer. Cookies are files that Web browsers place on a computer's hard drive and are used to tell us whether customers and visitors have visited the Site previously. If you click on a link to a third party website, such third party may also transmit cookies to you.

Standing alone, cookies do not identify you personally. They merely recognize your browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to Catapult Fundraising, either by responding to an offer, or providing information on a form, you remain anonymous to Catapult Fundraising. Cookies come in two flavors: session and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you've closed your browser or turned off your computer. They include such information as a unique identifier for your browser.

Catapult Fundraising uses session cookies containing encrypted information to allow the system to uniquely identify you while you are logged in. This information allows Catapult Fundraising to process your online transactions and requests. Session cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after you've logged in and are required in order to use the Catapult Fundraising application. Catapult Fundraising uses persistent cookies, that only Catapult Fundraising can read and use, to identify the fact that you are a Catapult Fundraising customer or prior Catapult Fundraising Website visitor (whatever the case may be). We are especially careful about the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies. For example, we do not store account numbers or passwords in persistent cookies. Users who disable their Web browsers' ability to accept cookies will still be able to browse our Website.

For a full list of the specific cookies and tracking tools used on this Site, see our Cookie Policy.

3. Use of Your Information

No information collected will be sold or disseminated to a third party. We may use the service to send you service information and Catapult Fundraising news and events. Customers can opt out of being contacted by us, or receiving such information from us, at any time by sending an email to info@catapultfr.com.

Separately, customers are also asked to provide an email address when using our FTP services, in order to receive a username and password. We may also email information regarding updates to the Service or company, and will send a Customer Newsletter. Again, email will not be distributed or shared and customers can opt out of receiving any communication by emailing us at the time it is distributed, or at the time any customer registers for the Service.

Except as we explicitly state at the time we request information, or as provided for below, in our terms of service or any other separate agreement which you may enter into with us, we do not disclose to any third-party the information provided. Catapult Fundraising uses a third-party intermediary to manage the credit card processing. This intermediary is solely a link in the distribution chain, and is not permitted to store, retain, or use the information provided, except for the sole purpose of credit card processing. Other third parties, such as content providers, may provide content on the web Site but they are not permitted to collect any information nor does Catapult Fundraising share any user information with these parties.

Customers of the Service will be using the Site to host data and information ("Data"). Catapult Fundraising will not review, share, distribute, print, or reference any such Data except as provided in the Catapult Fundraising terms of use or in any other separate agreement entered into with you, or as may be required by law. Individual records may at times be viewed or accessed only for the purpose of resolving a problem, or as may be required by law. Of course, customers are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their user credentials.

4. Third-Party Sites

The Site contains links to other web sites. Catapult Fundraising is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other web sites. Customers and visitors will need to check the policy of these other web sites to understand their policies. Customers and visitors who access a linked site may be disclosing their private information. It is the responsibility of the user to keep such information private and confidential.

5. Storage Location of Personal Information

If you are located outside the United States, the information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored and processed at, a destination in the United States. By submitting information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy.

6. Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We use commercially reasonable efforts to store and maintain your Personal Information in a secure environment. We take technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security steps designed to protect Personal Information that you provide to us. We have implemented procedures designed to limit the dissemination of your Personal Information to only such designated staff as are reasonably necessary to carry out the stated purposes we have communicated to you. You are also responsible for helping to protect the security of your Personal Information. For instance, never give out your email account information or password for the Services to third parties.

7. Sharing of Information

We neither rent nor sell your Personal Information or constituent data to anyone. All data is owned by you and will be destroyed upon request.

7.1 Business Transfers

We may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Also, if we (or substantially all of our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information would be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Web site of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.

7.2 Protection of Catapult Fundraising and Others

We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we reasonably believe is necessary to comply with law or a court order; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Catapult Fundraising, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. We also may be required to disclose an individual's Personal Information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet federal security or law enforcement requirements.

7.3 With Your Consent

Except as set forth above, you will be notified when your Personal Information may be shared with third parties, and will be able to prevent the sharing of this information.

8. Opt-Out Policy

Catapult Fundraising offers its visitors and customers a means to choose how we may use information provided. If, at any time after registering for information or ordering the Service, you change your mind about receiving information from us or about sharing your information, send us a request specifying your new choice to info@catapultfr.com. Customers can also opt out of being contacted by us, or receiving information from us, at any time by sending an email to the same address.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may amend this Policy from time to time. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make material changes or changes in the way we use Personal Information, we will notify you by posting an announcement on our Website or sending you an email prior to the change becoming effective.

Addendum 1: For Clients Transferring Constituent Data

All materials exchanged between client and Catapult Fundraising, Inc. are considered confidential and will not be disclosed except under court order or the written permission of client. Catapult will never sell, disseminate or use client data for any reason at any time.

Upon completion of the contractual agreement with the Client, Catapult Fundraising, Inc. shall deliver or destroy all records, notes, data, memorandum, models, and equipment of any nature that are in Catapult Fundraising, Inc.'s possession, or under Catapult Fundraising, Inc.'s control, and the Client's property or relate to Client's constituents.

Addendum 2: Commonly Asked Questions About Catapult's Information Data Handling and Security

1) What methods of network security do you use to protect the Foundation's data?

Data is stored on a server that has access control restrictions in place. Only individuals with proper authorization have access to the directory on the server in which the data is stored. The entire network is also protected by two firewalls with active intrusion detection. The server room is secured and locked with a camera system to protect it from unauthorized physical access.

Catapult has data redundancy software in place. All of our data is backed up daily both internally and to our offices in New Jersey. This is designed to make sure your data is never lost. If a disaster were to occur we can have the data back on-line within a couple of hours.

2) When you scan or have data scanned, what methods are used to protect our information? In other words, when our data leaves your server, how is it protected?

Data does not leave the server. Reporting is presented through the Catapult website. These reports are disseminated only to Client personnel with a username and password. More importantly, the data is presented through a secure session that uses an SSL certificate to prove the authenticity of the server and to encrypt the data from the server to the browser using state-of-the-art 256 bit encryption.

3) What policies/procedures, internal to your operations, protect our data? In particular, relating to how people use/handle data?

Data is accessed only by senior Catapult staff. This is typically limited to two people, the Vice President of Client Services and one senior member of the company that performs queries against the data. Limited amounts of data are given to callers for the purpose of making a phone call to raise funds.

4) Does Catapult sell or share data with other vendors or any outside agencies?

Absolutely not, and we put this in writing in our contract. Your data is proprietary and we will use it only for the purposes outlined in our agreement with the client.
