General Policy
The Connecticut Chapter of The American Chestnut Foundation takes the most serious concern for your privacy. We maintain a Privacy and Data Integrity Sub-Committee, that interacts with every Board Level committtee to ensure any proposed action protects the integrity of our member's privacy.
Every instance in which a member's name, or other personally identifyable information is released to a Director or Member of the organization, that person is reminded of the committment to protect privacy, and adhere to the guidelines of this privacy policy. We do not share our personally identifyable information with other organizations, and we clearly articulate the guidelines for use when such information is handled by a third party or fullfillment provider.
Member Contact
Because CT-TACF is a non-profit fully volunteer run organization, we may contact our members from time-to-time with opportunities for involvement, updates on past events or accomplishments, and requests for additional financial or other assistance. This contact may take the form of a telephone call, an e-mail, a letter, or a “hallway” discussion. We hope these are mutually beneficial opportunities for all.
Organizational Materials
Because CT-TACF attempts to provide the greatest level of management transparency possible, all relevant organizational documents are made available through the Documents pages of our web site. These documents are screened to ensure release of Personally Identifiable information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Web Site Links
CT-TACF provides links to other web sites as a resource for members. We encourage you to view their privacy policies as well. Any information you share with these web sites is subject to their policies and practices and is independent of CT-TACF.

Protecting Personal Information
CT-TACF takes every precaution to protect member information. When members submit sensitive information via our web site, their information is protected both online and off-line. We do not currently request any sensitive information by web form, but were we to do so, it would be protected by by SSL encrytion during form transmission.
We also do everything in our power to protect donor information off-line. All of our donor information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices and amongst our Directors. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. All employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.

Complying with the judicial or legal system
Though CT-TACF makes every effort to preserve donor and customer privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our organization.
