Donor Privacy

Donor Privacy at Westchester Land Trust

Westchester Land Trust is committed to maintaining the privacy of our website visitors and donors and maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information.

Westchester Land Trust collects and uses personal information such as name, address, phone number, and e-mail address when a donor voluntarily provides it to us. In addition, Westchester Land Trust keeps a record of each donor's giving history.

This information is used to process and acknowledge your donation; register your attendance at an event or meeting; respond to any information requests you may have; prepare any required IRS filings; and, analyze overall giving patterns in order to make more accurate budget projections.

Westchester Land Trust does not sell, trade, or share its donor list with any other organization. All personal information provided to us is stored in databases located on servers which are behind firewalls. Donations made through our website are encrypted using 128-bit SSL encryption.

No attempt will be made to identify or collect personal information about you or any of our other website visitors. Westchester Land Trust may automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser, which may include your IP address, session time, click path analysis, and the pages you request. WLT will only use this type data in an aggregate form which does not identify you personally. Similarly, website visitor logs are used for general, statistical purposes only.

Westchester Land Trust strives to keep donors informed about how donations are used and their importance for continuing our programs. We send several mailings a year to accomplish this and include a donation coupon to invite financial support. Most of our supporters want to receive all of our mailings and newsletters. However, you may opt out of any and all mailings by contacting us with your request.

If you have any questions or comments about Westchester Land Trust's privacy policy, or would like to review or request changes to any information we have about you, please contact Grace Buck, development and outreach associate, at (914) 241-6346 (x23) or grace@westchesterlandtrust.org, or by mail to 11 Babbitt Road, Bedford Hills, NY 10507.
