Donor Privacy Policy

The Aspetuck Land Trust is committed to maintaining the privacy of our website visitors and donors and maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information.

The Trust collects and uses personal information such as name, address, phone number, and email address when a donor voluntarily provides it to us. In addition, the Trust keeps a record of each donor’s giving history.

This information is used to process and acknowledge your donation; register your attendance at an event or meeting; respond to any information requests you may have; prepare any required IRS filings; and analyze overall giving patterns in order to make more accurate budget projections.

The Trust does not sell, trade, or share its donor list with any other organization. All personal information provided to us is stored in databases located on servers which are behind firewalls. Donations made through our website are encrypted using 128-bit SSL encryption.

No attempt will be made to identify or collect personal information about you or any of our other website visitors. The Trust may automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser, which may include your IP address, session time, click path analysis, and the pages you request. The Trust will only use this type data in an aggregate form which does not identify you personally. Similarly, website visitor logs are used for general, statistical purposes only.

The Trust strives to keep donors informed about how donations are used and their importance for continuing our programs. We send several mailings a year to accomplish this and include a donation coupon to invite financial support. Most of our supporters want to receive all of our mailings and newsletters. However, you may opt out of any and all mailings by contacting us with your request.

If you have any questions or comments about the Trust's’s privacy policy, or would like to review or request changes to any information we have about you, please contact us at 203-331-1906 or by mail to PO Box 444, Westport, CT 06881.
