DonorDrive Platform Privacy Policy

Effective January 13, 2023

Welcome to DonorDrive

Global Cloud, Ltd.  dba DonorDrive (“DonorDrive”) is a commercial application and used by nonprofit organizations to handle event and campaign registrations, to solicit donations, and to promote fundraising pages (collectively, the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains how DonorDrive, collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes your personal information in connection with our services provided through our www.donordrive.com and or services portals we maintain on behalf of our customers. 

This Privacy Policy is not intended to cover information collected by any third-party website.

This page is used to inform application users regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information if anyone decided to use our Service.

If you choose to use our Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this Policy.  

Customer Data

Data protection laws sometimes differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal data. A “controller” determines the purposes and means (or the why and the how) of processing personal information. A “processor,” which is sometimes referred to as a “service provider,” processes personal information on behalf of a controller subject to contractual restrictions. 

As part of our business relationship with our customers, we are often asked to receive, gather, store, analyze, or otherwise process information, which may include personal information, on behalf of our customers. We refer to this type of information and personal information as “customer data.” When we process customer data, we generally act as a processor. This means we process customer data on behalf of our customers subject to restrictions set forth in our contracts with them. 

This Privacy Policy does not cover or address how we or our customers process customer data in connection with our role as our customers’ processor. Instead, this Privacy Policy only covers our processing of personal information in our capacity as a controller. In addition, we are generally not permitted to respond to individual requests relating to customer data. As a result, we recommend referring to the privacy notice of the organization with which you have a relationship for information on how they engage processors, like us, to process customer data on their behalf.

What is Personal Data?

When we use the term “personal data” in this Privacy Policy, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to a person or household. It does not include aggregated or de-identified information that is maintained in a form that is not reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to a person.

Personal Data We Collect

While using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information to provide appropriate services and experiences.  The information that we request will be retained by us and used as described in this Privacy Policy.

Personal Data You Provide

Personal data you provide to us through the Service or otherwise includes:

Content you choose to upload to the Service, such as text, images, links, comments, and form results.

Feedback or correspondence, such as information you provide when you contact us with questions, feedback, or otherwise correspond with us online.

Registration information, such as information that may be related to a service or an event you register for.

Usage information, such as information about how you use the Service and interact with us, including information associated with any content you submit to us, and information you provide when you use any interactive features of the Service.

Marketing information, such as your preferences for receiving communications about our activities, events, and publications, and details about how you engage with our communications.

Other information that we may collect which is not specifically listed here, but which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.

Personal Data From Other Sources

We may obtain your personal information from other sources which we often combine with personal information we collect either automatically or directly from you. 

We may receive the same categories of personal information as described above from the following sources and third parties:

  • Social Media Platforms. We may maintain pages for our Company on social media platforms, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google (Google Privacy Policy), YouTube (YouTube Privacy Policy), YouTube API Services, Instagram, and other third party platforms. When you visit or interact with our pages on those platforms, the platform provider’s privacy policy will apply to your interactions and their collection, use and processing of your personal information.  You or the platforms may provide us with information through the platform, and we will treat such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
  • Third Parties. We may receive personal information about you from third-party sources such as service providers, business partners, or publicly available sources. For example, a business partner may share your contact information with us if you have expressed interest in learning specifically about our Service, or the types of products or services we offer. Your contact information may be collected by a third party and provided to us in connection with your access to one of our resource materials (such as DonorDrive reports or guides). We may obtain your personal information from other third parties, such as marketing partners, publicly-available sources and data providers.
Business Representatives Data Collection Practices

We also may collect professional personal information about representatives of third-party businesses, including representatives of our business and enterprise customers and business partners, in connection with our Services and the operation of our business, which may include:
