Privacy Policy

Security

Covenant House is grateful for the generous donations that help us continue our valuable work with homeless kids, and we understand the importance of protecting your personal information.

Rest assured that giving a tax-deductible donation to Covenant House is safe. Credit card information is protected by a reputable security company, and numbers are never stored.

On our donation pages, please make note of the domain name in your website address bar. The name there begins with “https,” which indicates that the page is encrypted. Encryption actually makes your online donation more secure than using a credit card in physical form at a store, restaurant, or any other place of business.

If you have any questions regarding the security of online donations, please contact us.

Our web server automatically recognizes but does not collect or use your domain name (IP address).

We anonymously track your visit in order to compile statistical information about the use of our site. We do not collect individual information about you or your personal use of this site.

Covenant House uses cookies, which are small amounts of data sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your hard drive to see if you are a return user or to allow our online community to recognize you as an existing member.

Other Personal Information

You are not required to provide any personal information on our website unless you choose to do so.

However, in order to properly process charitable gifts, we do ask for personal information on our online donation pages. We use this information to acknowledge receipt of your donation for tax purposes.

When you donate to Covenant House, you are placed on mailing lists for mail and email updates. If you do not wish to receive physical mail from Covenant House, please contact us.

If you are making a donation in honor or memory of someone, we will not use his or her personal information for any purpose other than to send an acknowledgment card.

We may occasionally make postal addresses and telephone numbers available to other reputable nonprofit and commercial organizations. If you do not want us to share this information, contact us.

We do not make email addresses available to any third party for any reason.
