This draft applies to the Foundation Michelangelo Charity Auction Division website and its auction consultation forms, pages, and related communications. It does not yet address unrelated TIC services or third-party websites.

2. Information we expect to collect

Depending on how you use the site, information may include:

• Contact and organizational information, such as name, email address, telephone number, organization, and role.
• Event and inquiry details, including event date and location, audience, fundraising goal, and information supplied in free-text fields.
• Communication choices, including consent to receive service-related or optional marketing email or text messages.
• Technical information that may be collected by the website platform or approved tools, such as browser, device, IP address, page activity, cookies, and similar identifiers.

3. How information may be used

Information may be used to respond to inquiries, evaluate charity-auction program fit, prepare a proposed plan, communicate about requested services, operate and improve the site, prevent misuse, maintain records, and comply with applicable obligations.

4. Email and text communications

Service-related messages may be used to respond to a request. Optional marketing messages should be sent only where the required consent exists. Recipients must be able to use the unsubscribe link in email or reply STOP to eligible text messages. Message and data rates may apply.

5. Service providers and other disclosures

Information may be processed by approved providers that support website hosting, forms, communications, analytics, security, and event operations, subject to appropriate agreements. Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights and safety, or complete an authorized business transaction.

Owner confirmation required: identify all material vendors and state whether information is sold, shared for cross-context behavioral advertising, or used for targeted advertising.

6. Retention and security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards should be used. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. Retention periods must be finalized based on business need, consent records, contractual duties, and applicable law.

7. Your choices and privacy rights

You may request access, correction, or deletion of information, or withdraw certain communication consent, subject to verification and applicable exceptions. Additional rights may apply based on your jurisdiction. Final procedures and response timelines require owner and legal confirmation.

8. Children’s privacy

The site is intended for organizational representatives and is not designed to collect personal information from children. The final policy should specify the applicable age threshold and deletion procedure.

9. Changes to this policy

When an approved policy changes, the effective date should be updated and material changes should be communicated as required.
