The objective of this Privacy Statement is to disclose and explain the types of information we collect, use and share, and explain the privacy choices that are available to you. By accessing or using the Services you agree to this privacy policy, which may change from time to time.

This Privacy Statement applies to users of www.dafgivingsummit.com, potential donors, current donors, and all other persons associated with a Renaissance Charitable Gift Fund Account, Charitable Gift Annuity Account, or other Renaissance Charitable Account. Such persons may include grant advisors, grant recipients, charities, successors, beneficiaries, investment advisors, annuitants, etc. (each referred to herein as “you”).

How We Collect Information About You

We collect personal information about you in a number of ways, including:

  • Account Applications. We collect information from you in order to provide services to you when you open an account. The information collected may include your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, Social Security number, date of birth, advisors, and similar contact information. We use this information to respond to inquiries, administer the account, and recommend program offerings that we believe may be of interest to you.
  • Transaction Information. When you open an account with us, we collect and maintain personal information about contributions, grant recommendations, etc. relating to the account. This information allows us to administer the account and to inform you of other offerings we believe may be of interest to you.
  • Third-Party Information Providers. We may collect information about you from third parties to verify your identity or to better understand your charitable goals.
  • Website Usage. When you visit our website (www.dafgivingsummit.com), we may use devices known as “cookies,” graphic interchange format files (GIFs), or other similar web tools to enhance your web experience. These tools enable us to recognize you when you return to our site, and to maintain your web session while you browse throughout the site, as well as help us provide you with a better, more personalized experience. By themselves, cookies do not identify you as an individual by name or account number; they merely recognize your browser. If you prefer not to accept cookies, you may adjust your browser settings to notify you when a cookie is about to be sent, or you may configure your browser to refuse cookies automatically. However, if you turn off cookies, or refuse to accept a request to place a cookie, some features and services on this Website may not function properly and the information you receive when you visit this Website may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests.
  • Information we receive from other sources. We may receive personal information about you from individuals or corporate entities which are users of the Services and who designate you as a user. We also work closely with third parties (including, for example, subcontractors in technical, payment and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers) and may receive information about you from them.
How We Use and Share Information We Collect

Within DAF Giving Summit and among our service providers such as third-party vendors, we restrict access to your personal information to those who require it to provide our services to you. For example, the partnership between Renaissance Charitable and Renaissance Administration LLC allows us to provide charitable gift planning and administrative services. The deep level and breadth of services requires that the two entities share all or almost all personal information about you that we have. We do not sell or share your personal information to any outside firm or entity so that they can independently market their own products and services to you.

We may share, with your consent, personal information, such as when you choose to share your personal information when donating to a charity.

We may share the personal information that we capture with government agencies or other regulatory bodies and law enforcement officials (for example, for tax reporting) to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws or valid legal processes.

We may share your personal information in connection with a business transaction. Personal information may be disclosed to third parties in connection with a transaction, such as a merger, sale of assets or shares, reorganization, financing, change of control or acquisition of all or a portion of our business.

We take precautions to ensure the information we collect about you is protected and is accessed only by authorized individuals or organizations. Companies we use to provide support services are not allowed to use information about you for their own purposes and are contractually obligated to maintain strict confidentiality. We limit their use of information to the performance of the specific services we have requested.

We restrict access to personal information by our employees and agents. Our employees are trained about privacy and are required to safeguard personal information.

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect personal information. You agree that we may rely on the authority of anyone who uses your login credentials or uses your device’s authentication feature to access the Services (an “Authorized User”). We will not be liable for and will not reimburse you for any losses that may occur as a result of the use of your login credentials or your device’s authentication feature by such Authorized Users. You agree to tell us immediately if someone you did not authorize learns your password or other login credentials or is able to use your device’s authentication feature.
