Privacy Policy
This policy has been updated on May 25, 2022, and is valid as of May 25, 2022
Garland County Habitat for Humanity, Inc. ("Habitat for Humanity"/ "GCHFH") respects your privacy and preferences. This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) sets forth the terms under which you share your personal data with Habitat for Humanity, how Habitat for Humanity collects and uses your data, and your rights with respect to understanding and modifying how it will be collected and used.
Privacy Policy
I. How does this Privacy Policy apply to you?
III. Why do we hold and process personal data?
Habitat for Humanity may request from you, or you may volunteer to provide, your contact information, including your name, mailing address, phone number(s), social media handles, and email address(es). We hold and process supporters’ personal data for a number of reasons:
If you make a donation or a purchase with Garland County Habitat for Humanity, or otherwise provide us with your information, GCHFH may contact you from time to time about opportunities to make additional donations or purchases or to provide you information about upcoming programs.
We may also analyze your personal information to create a record of your interests and preferences. This allows us to ensure communications are relevant and timely, to contact you in the most appropriate and relevant way, and in general, to provide you with an improved user experience. It also helps us to understand the background of our supporters so that we can make appropriate requests for support, enabling us to raise funds and help beneficiaries sooner and more cost-effectively.
Garland County Habitat for Humanity may also share data from its supporters with select third-party sponsors and service providers based on our assessment that the products or services may be of interest to these supporters or that the sponsor or provider can help Habitat for Humanity identify what services or appeals may be of interest to our supporters. We may also provide our supporters with information about services from third parties. If you do not wish your data to be used in this way, you may follow the instructions for modifying your consent (see below, “How to control what we send you or update your personal information”).
IV. When will we send you personalized marketing communications?
Garland County Habitat for Humanity will contact you for marketing purposes — for example, to keep you up to date on our work, or let you know how you can support that work—only where we have your consent or we are otherwise allowed to do so because of your prior engagement with Habitat for Humanity, as explained further below (see “Our Reliance on Your Prior Support”).
We will make it easy for you to tell us if you would like to receive marketing communications from us and hear more about our work and the ways in which you would like to receive this information. We will not send you marketing material if you tell us that you do not wish to receive it. Instructions for how to do so are below (see “How to control what we send you or update your personal information”).
Duration:
V. How and when do we obtain information about you?
Habitat for Humanity may obtain your personal data in the following circumstances:
Sometimes your personal data is collected by an organization working on Habitat for Humanity’s behalf (for example, a professional fundraising agency). In such cases, the agency is acting on our behalf, and we are the “data controller” responsible for the security and proper processing of your data, just as if you had given it to Habitat for Humanity directly.
The Garland County Habitat for Humanity website may contain hyperlinks to websites owned and operated by other organizations, including private sector partners, other NGOs and charities, and Habitat Affiliates and Habitat National and International Organizations. These third-party websites have their own privacy policies, including policies on the use of cookies, which would apply to the use of personal information you submit or which is collected by cookies while visiting those websites. Habitat for Humanity cannot accept responsibility for the privacy practices of such third-party websites, and we recommend therefore that you familiarize yourself with their policies.
VI. What personal information might Habitat for Humanity collect?
Habitat for Humanity will only collect personal data about you that is relevant to the type of transaction or project you have engaged in with us.
For example, we may receive and retain personal information about you when you contact Habitat for Humanity to make a donation, purchase an item online, or sign up for any of Habitat for Humanity’s activities or online content (such as newsletters or message boards); or when you telephone, email, or write to us, or engage with us via social media channels. In each of these cases, the information we collect is relevant to the type of transaction you are entering into. Data such as your name email or postal address, telephone or mobile number will be necessary both to execute these transactions as well as to enable us to contact you for further engagement. Bank account or credit card details will be necessary to process any donations.
Credit card and billing information: In addition to your contact information, when you make a donation or purchase, Garland County Habitat for Humanity asks for your billing address and credit card or other financial services information. GCHFH uses a third-party banking agent to process your payments via a secure connection to a secured server that verifies your credit card/bank information. They return a unique tracking number only, which cannot be decrypted to obtain the payment card information, and Garland County Habitat for Humanity never retains your complete credit card number. Only employees who need access to your personal information to perform a specific job are granted access to that information, and Habitat for Humanity and our banking agent will not share your credit card/bank information with any other third party.
Sensitive Personal Data: We do not collect your “sensitive personal data” (e.g., health or dietary information) unless there is a clear reason for doing so—such as your participation in a sponsored physical event— and then only to the extent such data is required to ensure that we provide appropriate facilities or support to enable you to participate in the event.
Should you support Habitat for Humanity in a substantial way, we may provide an account manager to help tailor your relationship to us and the information you receive from us to suit your interests. If this is the case, we may collect demographic data where relevant to your relationship with GCHFH. If you provide us with information about your health or your family, this may also be recorded so we can communicate with you in a considerate and appropriate manner.
All sensitive personal data is stored on a password-protected system to which only a limited number of relevant staff have access. It is deleted when no longer needed by us, is never shared with third parties, and is available to you at any point should you wish to see it.
VII. How will Habitat for Humanity use your personal data?
Garland County Habitat for Humanity will use your personal information for the following purposes:
to confirm receipt of donations (unless you have asked us not to do this), and to say thank you and provide details of how your donation might be used;
in relation to correspondence you have entered into with us whether by letter, email, text, social media, message board, or any other means, and to contact you about any content you provide;
for internal record keeping so as to keep a record of your relationship with us;
to complete sales transactions you have entered into with us;
to implement any instructions you give us with regard to withdrawing consent to send marketing information;
to use IP addresses to identify the location of users, to block disruptive use, and to establish the number of visits from different countries.
VIII. Will we share your information outside the Habitat network?
If you reside in the U.S. or Canada, and unless you instruct us otherwise, Habitat for Humanity may share your personal data with organizations with which Habitat for Humanity partners, as well as other companies whose products and services may be of interest to you. In these cases, we may also provide you with information about services from third parties, unless you inform us that you do not want to receive this information.
Habitat for Humanity’s suppliers: We may need to share your information with service providers who help deliver our projects and fundraising activities. These “data processors” will only act under our instruction and are subject to contractual obligations containing strict data protection clauses. We do not allow these organizations to use your data for their own purposes or disclose it to other third parties without our consent, and we will take all reasonable care to ensure that they keep your data secure.
Facebook and other Social Media Sites (see Social Media Policy): We may also use your email address and phone number to match to your Facebook or other social media account in order to show you Habitat for Humanity content while you use those services. We only do this where you have consented to receive marketing emails, either by opting in (where you reside in the European Economic Area) or by not opting out (where you reside in the United States and Canada). In addition, we may also use your email address and phone number to link to Facebook or other social media sites in order to identify other users of these sites whom we believe would be interested in Habitat for Humanity.
There are two ways to prevent this use of your data. You can either update your consent preferences directly with us at Garland County Habitat for Humanity (see below, “How to control what we send you or update your personal information”) or via the social media sites:
Where legally required: We will also comply with legal requests where disclosure is required or permitted by law (for example to government bodies for tax purposes or law enforcement agencies for the prevention and detection of crime, subject to such bodies providing us with a relevant request in writing).
IX. How long will Habitat for Humanity keep your personal information?
The accuracy of your information is important to us. We want to ensure that we are able to communicate with you in ways that you are happy with and to provide you with information that is of interest.
If you wish to change how we communicate with you or update the information we hold, then please contact us:
To amend your contact preferences for any type of communication, email us at [email protected], or write to us at: Data Privacy Manager; Garland County Habitat for Humanity; 240 Hobson Ave; Hot Springs, AR 71913 (to amend your preferences for any communication channel);
To amend your contact preferences for newsletters, visit the Habitat for Humanity website at http://www.garlandcountyhabitat.org
Additionally, you can opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email from Garland County Habitat for Humanity.
Timing of implementation. In responding to requests to not receive marketing information, we will take all reasonable steps to remove you from all Garland County Habitat for Humanity marketing lists. If you are a resident of the European Economic Area and your country has adopted the provisions of the GDPR, we are committed to meeting the following service levels:
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area and your country has adopted the provisions of the GDPR, you have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to have any inaccuracies corrected, and to have any personal information deleted from our systems (a “Subject Access Request” or “SAR”). In line with standard guidelines for these requests, we will require you to prove your identity with two pieces of approved identification. We will respond to such requests within 30 days of receipt.
Please address SARs, or questions or complaints about this Privacy Policy, to the Data Privacy Manager, Habitat for Humanity International; 285 Peachtree Center Ave NE #2700, Atlanta, GA 30303.
XI. How Habitat for Humanity keeps your data safe:
We ensure that there are appropriate technical controls in place to protect your personal details. For example, our online forms that ask for personal information are stored on networks that are password-protected and routinely monitored. Laptops are not used to store sensitive personal information unless they are both password protected or encrypted. All sensitive personal data is stored on a secure database, to which only a limited number of relevant personnel have access. It is deleted when no longer needed by us and is never shared with third parties, except as expressly set forth in Sections III and IV.
Within Habitat for Humanity, we undertake regular reviews of who has access to information that we hold to ensure that your information is only accessible by appropriately trained staff, volunteers, and contractors. When we share your personal data with a Habitat National or International Organization, the Organization is required to take comparable steps to assure that your information is securely stored and accessed only by appropriately trained personnel.
We use external companies to collect or process personal data on our behalf. We do comprehensive checks on these companies before we work with them, and in our legal agreements, we clearly set out our requirements regarding how they manage the personal data to which they have access. We have a robust partner-monitoring framework to ensure these contractual obligations are met.
XII. Changes to Habitat for Humanity’s Privacy Policy:
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time, so you may wish to check it each time you submit personal information to Habitat for Humanity. The date of the most recent revisions will appear on this page. If you do not agree to these changes, please do not continue to use the Garland County Habitat for Humanity website to submit personal information to GCHFH. If material changes are made to the Privacy Policy, we will notify you by placing a notice on the website.

III. Why do we hold and process personal data?
