United Spinal Association respects your right to influence how your personal information is used after making a donation. The following applies to all donors regardless of how the donation originated: Online website donation, social media, mailed check, e-check, credit card swipe, cash donation.

What Donor Information Do We Collect?

• Contribution amount.
• First and last name of donor and joint donor if any.
• Donation frequency (if recurring).
• Address.
• Email address (online donations).
• Telephone number (not mandatory).
• Credit card data including: Name on card, card number, expiration date, verification code, address on card.

This information is used by our third party credit card transaction service to process donation(s) and to verify credit card data. We use your email address to send a tax-deductible receipt(s) (online donations only). Phone numbers (when submitted) are used only to contact donors if we need to verify information and occasionally to thank donors for a contribution.

United Spinal Association utilizes a secure third-party service provider for transacting and storing donor and transactional data. United Spinal Association stores no credit card information in their in-house systems. All transaction data, whether from an online donation form, e-check, mailed check, or card swiping device is securely stored by United Spinal’s third party transaction service providers and databasing service.

The shared information will never exceed name and address of a donor. No other personal information is shared. You may opt out of having your Personal Information shared by United Spinal Association by following the instructions in the “Opt Out of Sharing” section below.
