Information We Collect & How We Use It
We collect and maintain information about you when you voluntarily provide it to us, such as when you make a donation, online or offline. This information may include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and employer. The information may be maintained with information about certain actions that you take, such as donation information and sign-up information. We may use the personal information that we collect to provide you with information that you have requested, contact you about events that may be of interest to you, send you newsletters or provide you with information on how to make donations. You have a choice at any time to stop us from sending you newsletters and certain updates by following the “Unsubscribe” or “Opt-Out” instructions/link provided in such emails or by sending us an email at info@freeartsnyc.org and requesting that we opt you out of such campaigns.

We store all of this information in a secure database. Every Free Arts NYC employee is background checked and any employee accessing the database has a discrete login that is frozen if and when the employee leaves.

When you make a donation online, all transaction card and financial account information processing and security is handled by third party payment processors as described in more detail in the “Donations” section below.
