Information Collection, Use, & Sharing

The Mt. SAC Foundation and Alumni Association is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We only have access to and collect information that you voluntarily give us via email, forms, or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We collect and use information necessary to administer Foundation and Alumni Association business and to meet federal and state reporting requirements. The Foundation and Alumni Association may use personal information collected from websites, donation forms, etc. for research and for the purpose of future communications back to alumni, donors, etc. in order to keep interested parties informed of such activities as campus programs, symposia, and/or special events. Email and physical addresses may be used by the Foundation and Alumni Association to communicate with alumni and donors for Foundation and Alumni Association related business.

We will use your information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to process a donation.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email or social media in the future to tell you about events or changes to this privacy policy.

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address given on our website:

  • See what data we have about you, if any.

  • Change/correct any data we have about you.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the Web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
