Privacy practices
Campfire Circle respects the privacy of our donors; we do not sell, rent, or trade our donor lists. We collect, use, and disclose personal information only for the purpose of processing donations, keeping our donors informed about Campfire Circle activities, and to ask for their support in our mission. Anyone from whom we collect information can expect that it will be carefully protected and that any use of this information is subject to consent. We offer our donors and prospective donors numerous privacy options, including the option to limit or opt-out of future contact.
Our employees sign confidentiality agreements and safeguards are in place to ensure that the information is not accessed, disclosed, or shared more widely than is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was gathered.

Individuals may access their personal information at any time to ensure that it is correct and current, or to edit it.
