We generally respond to requests via email, social media private message and on occasion through postal mail service, telephone or Skype.

How Information is Used

SANARTE FOUNDATION uses your information to understand your needs and provide you with better service. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction, communicate back to you, and update you on SANARTE FOUNDATION happenings.

Payment processing is done through a secure-third party vendor. Credit card numbers are used only for donation or payment processing and are not retained for other purposes. We do not store credit card numbers except for the last 4 digits.

We use the comments you offer to provide you with information requested, and we take each recommendation seriously as to how we might improve communications. We may use your personal information to contact and communicate with you.

No Sharing of Personal Information

SANARTE FOUNDATION will not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to any other organization. We assure you that the identity of all our donors and constituents will be kept confidential. Use of personal information will be limited to the internal purposes of SANARTE FOUNDATION and only to further the activities and purposes of SANARTE FOUNDATION.

We will send information related to SANARTE FOUNDATION, our programs, events, and general communications if you have opted-in to receive these communications. If you have opted-out of receiving communications, you will continue to receive transactional communications related to your personal donations or tributes only.

Social Media Marketing

We may participate in Facebook’s ‘Custom Audience’ program which enables us to display ads to our existing supporters and ‘look alike’ audiences when they visit Facebook. We provide your email address to Facebook, so they can determine whether you are a registered account holder with them. Our ads may then appear when you access Facebook. Your data is sent in an encrypted format that is deleted by Facebook. For more information, https://www.facebook.com/business/help/112061095610075

IP Address

We may also track Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is a number that can identify an Internet Service Provider and country location. It cannot provide other personal information.  We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our computer server, and to administer our Online Platforms. Your IP address is used to help identify you but does not contain Personal Information about you. We can use IP addresses as identifying the source and volume of traffic on our website, so we can allocate resources to servers/networks in different regions. We also use IP address security filters to prevent known blacklisted IP addresses from accessing the site.

Security of Your Personal Information

The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to help protect your personal information including without limitation:

• limiting access to your personal information to those of our employees who require it to provide services to you;
• requiring employees to sign confidentiality agreements to protect customer and other confidential information;
• ensuring that third-party service providers maintain the confidentiality of your personal information and not to use it for any unauthorized purposes;
• encrypting forms using secure socket layer (SSL) technology; and
• storing your personal information in secure computer systems which protect it from unauthorized access or use.

No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Moreover, we are not responsible for the security of information you transmit over networks we do not control, including the internet and wireless networks.
