HighGround considers the protection of all sensitive information to be important and reflect our core values, which include putting the client first. To ensure that information is protected, we employ procedural, physical and electronic mechanisms to safeguard information that is conveyed to us in the course of business. These safeguards are regularly tested to make sure the controls work effectively.
When communicating electronically through email, mobile or desktop applications, the Website, or otherwise, you may be asked to provide certain information such as your name, address, email address, date of birth, and other personally identifiable information. Oftentimes this personal information contains sensitive and confidential data, including financial data and social security numbers. Our systems are designed to protect the confidentiality and integrity of this information and we utilize it only for the purposes of establishing and administering Donor-Advised Fund Accounts, communicating with necessary parties, and carrying out all related obligations. We use technology, including firewall barriers, encryption techniques, secure login credentials, and other controls, to ensure that your online session is protected.
By engaging with certain HighGround services, including establishing a Donor-Advised Fund Account, you will be directed to the website of a third-party service provider (“the Partner”). Personal information related to Donor-Advised Fund Accounts is disclosed to the Partner for the purpose of maintaining HighGround’s Donor-Advised Fund platform and the individual Accounts on the platform. You acknowledge that your use of HighGround’s Donor-Advised Fund platform is subject to HighGround’s Website Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, as well as the Partner’s Website Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
Personal information may be otherwise disclosed if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or security of HighGround, its donors, clients, or other related parties, or as may be required by law.
The transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although HighGround employs its best efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted through the Website, the Partner’s website, or other electronic means. Any transmission of your personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy or security measures of the Website or the Partner’s Website.
HighGround endeavors to keep the records pertaining to all Accounts in a complete and accurate format. We encourage you to review information regarding your Account on a regular basis and notify us if any information should be corrected or updated. Once received, information may not be changed or deleted if such change or deletion will prevent HighGround from fulfilling its legal or contractual obligations. We also suggest that you take steps to protect against unintended disclosure of your personal and confidential information, including user login credentials.
Minors may not access the services provided by HighGround and may not submit personal information to HighGround.
By accessing or using the Website, you are agreeing to this Privacy Policy.
