and the privacy of our donors is very important to us. That is why we have a Donor Privacy

Donor Privacy Policy
Contributions from individuals, foundations, religious organizations and other institutions allow
Nonviolent Peaceforce to assess and start new projects and programs, advocate for unarmed
methods to protect civilians at the UN and other institutions and provide administrative andfundraising support for these programs.
Respect for the privacy and preferences of donors is extremely important to us. We collectinformation that is voluntarily provided for us such as:● Names, addresses, telephone numbers and emails.
● Giving information.
● Events attended including video and telephone conferences, publications received andsurvey answers.
● Information provided by donors in the form of requests, questions, suggestions, andcomments.
This information is kept on record for IRS filing. It is also used to determine donor’s interest in
the mission, to communicate with donors based on their interests and preferences, for listing
names in our Annual Report and to forecast the budget for the following fiscal year. Any board
members, staff, contractors, interns or volunteers who are given access to this secure
information for their job functions must review and sign our confidentiality agreement.
List sharing for U.S. donors
We have changed our privacy policy. To ensure sustainable growth of the organization and tomeet the needs of civilians living in conflict, Nonviolent Peaceforce will occasionally sharevoluntarily provided names and postal addresses of our U.S. donors with carefully selected likeminded organizations. To opt-out of having your information shared please call 612-871-0005 oremail info@nonviolentpeaceforce.org
Requests for discontinuing contact
Nonviolent Peaceforce communicates with donors according to their expressed preferences.
We update and maintain a record of communication preferences. We will discontinue or change
the method of communication from any staff or agent employed by Nonviolent Peaceforce, who
are communicating on behalf of the organization.

This does not include individuals or groups voluntarily fundraising for Nonviolent Peaceforce,even if the person is listed as “Do Not Contact”. For example, we cannot prohibit an individual
who voluntarily sets-up a Facebook fundraiser from soliciting other individuals even if they aremarked “Do Not Contact” in our records.
If a request for no further contact is made by a person or a person’s authorized representative,
their record will be marked as such and steps will be taken to ensure no further contact is made.
Laws applicable to the country and geographic location where the person resides are adhered
to. For European donors, Nonviolent Peaceforce complies with GDPR regulations.
