Magdala House provides this Online Privacy Statement to inform you of our privacy policy and practices and the choices you can make about how your information is collected and used.

How We Collect Your Personal Information
Sometimes, Magdala will ask you to provide personal information so that we can identify you or connect with you if necessary. We will only ask for personal information if you use our donation portal to give a financial contribution using a credit card or request to become a volunteer to ensure the safety and privacy of Magdala House clients.
Financial and In-Kind Giving Services
Online credit services for financial contributions and volunteer forms require you to input personal identification every time you submit a form. Magdala House may use partner vendors to host fundraising events or crowdfunding campaigns that may need your personal information to create an account and to be able to make a financial donation by credit card or other online banking vendor or institution. These services may require your legal name, mailing address, email address, credit card information, banking information, phone number, and more. Only in providing these services to you is the information necessary.
Volunteer Portal Services
To become a volunteer, you must fill out online volunteer registration forms and online signups for volunteer events, which will require your personal information, that may need your legal name, mailing address, email address, phone number, and date of birth. Magdala House may use third-party sites to provide you with necessary services for Volunteer Services.
How We Use Your Personal Information

We track and analyze your anonymous visit data so that we can research website usage trends to provide you with a better web browsing experience on our websites. None of your personal information is involved in this process.
How We Control Your Personal Information
