4. Donations and Payment Information
When you make a donation through our website or an authorized giving platform, information necessary to process and document your contribution may be collected.
Payment transactions may be processed by third-party payment providers. CSM Cancer Foundation may receive information concerning your donation, including your name, contact information, donation amount, transaction date, campaign designation, and transaction status.
Payment card or banking information may be collected and processed directly by the applicable payment provider rather than stored directly by CSM Cancer Foundation.
We encourage donors to verify that they are using an official CSM Cancer Foundation giving method before submitting payment information.
5. Assistance Applications and Health-Related Information
Individuals seeking cancer-related assistance or support may voluntarily provide personal, financial, health-related, or other sensitive information and supporting documentation necessary for CSM Cancer Foundation to evaluate or administer a request.
We treat health-related and assistance information as sensitive and confidential and seek to limit access to authorized individuals who reasonably need the information to review, administer, or support the applicable program or request.
CSM Cancer Foundation is not a healthcare provider and does not provide medical diagnosis, medical treatment, or medical advice.
CSM Cancer Foundation is committed to maintaining strong privacy and security practices when handling health-related information. Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to represent that CSM Cancer Foundation is a HIPAA-covered entity or business associate unless applicable law and the circumstances establish otherwise.
Additional information concerning our handling of health-related information is available on our Health Information Privacy page.
6. How We Share Information
CSM Cancer Foundation does not sell, rent, or trade personal information.
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:
• Provide requested programs, assistance, resources, or services
• Work with service providers supporting Foundation operations
• Process donations and transactions
• Coordinate approved assistance or services
• Protect the rights, safety, security, or property of individuals or the Foundation
• Comply with applicable law, court orders, legal processes, or governmental requirements
• Carry out another purpose authorized or requested by the individual
We seek to limit disclosures to information reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.
7. Third-Party Services
Our website and programs may use third-party platforms and service providers for functions such as website hosting, online forms, donation and payment processing, email communications, event registration, analytics, communications, and other organizational operations.
Information submitted through a third-party service may also be processed according to that provider’s privacy policy, security practices, and terms.
We encourage users to review applicable third-party privacy policies before submitting personal or sensitive information.
8. Cookies and Website Technologies
Our website may use cookies, analytics, and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand website usage, remember preferences, maintain security, and improve the visitor experience.
Third-party services integrated into our website may also use cookies or similar technologies.
You may be able to manage or disable cookies through your browser or device settings. Disabling certain technologies may affect website functionality.
9. Data Security
CSM Cancer Foundation uses reasonable administrative, technical, physical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal and sensitive information from unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, misuse, or alteration.
Access to sensitive information is intended to be limited to authorized individuals who reasonably require access to perform Foundation-related responsibilities.
However, no website, electronic transmission, database, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Children’s Privacy
Our general website services are not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement.
If a parent or guardian believes that a child under 13 has submitted personal information through our website without appropriate authorization, please contact us so we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
Certain Foundation programs may serve minors. When personal information is required for participation in such programs, appropriate parent or guardian involvement, permission, or consent may be required according to the nature of the program and applicable law.
11. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on where you reside and applicable law, you may have certain rights or choices concerning your personal information.
You may contact CSM Cancer Foundation to request, as applicable:
• Access to certain personal information we maintain about you
• Correction or updating of inaccurate information
• Updating of your contact information
• Withdrawal of consent where applicable
• Removal from certain communications
• Limitations on certain uses of information where applicable
• Deletion of certain information where legally permissible
Some information may need to be retained for legal, financial, charitable, fraud-prevention, recordkeeping, safety, or legitimate organizational purposes.
CSM Cancer Foundation will review privacy requests and respond as required by applicable law.
12. Data Breach Notification
CSM Cancer Foundation takes the security of personal information seriously. If we become aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will take reasonable steps to investigate, contain, and respond to the incident.
Because CSM Cancer Foundation is based in Georgia and serves individuals throughout the United States, breach-notification requirements may vary according to applicable federal law, state law, the type of information involved, and the residence of affected individuals.
When notification is legally required, CSM Cancer Foundation will seek to provide notification in accordance with applicable federal and state requirements, including applicable Georgia requirements, and subject to lawful law-enforcement delays or other legally recognized exceptions.

Our website may contain links to websites, platforms, forms, payment services, social-media platforms, or other resources operated by third parties.
