Privacy Policy | Fundamaya

Fundamaya is a California 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 85-3703498) serving Maya families in Panajachel and the communities of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala. We respect the privacy of our donors, supporters and website visitors. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Your name, and the names of anyone you give in honor or memory of.
Contact information: mailing address, email address and phone number.
Gift details: amount, date, designation, recurring-gift schedule, tribute messages and any comments you send.
Your communication preferences and correspondence with us, and volunteer or event registration details.
Payment information. Online gifts are processed by Givebutter and its payment processors. Fundamaya does not receive or store your full card number, security code or bank account credentials. See Givebutter’s privacy policy at givebutter.com/privacy.

How we use your information

To process your gift and send your receipt and thank-you.
To honor your designation, tribute or recurring-gift instructions.
To report how your gift is used and keep you informed about our work in Guatemala.
To send appeals, newsletters and invitations (you can opt out at any time).
To keep accurate records and meet legal, audit and tax requirements.

We never sell or share your information

Fundamaya does not sell, rent, trade or exchange the names, addresses, email addresses or other personal information of its donors with any other organization. We share information only with service providers who help us operate (such as Givebutter, our email service, our accountants and auditors, and our website host), under confidentiality obligations; with your employer if you ask us to process a matching gift; when required by law; or with your consent.

We may thank donors by name in our annual report or on our website. We never publish gift amounts tied to a name without permission. You can give anonymously on Givebutter or ask us at any time to keep your name private.

You may ask that your name and contact information not be shared or publicly listed in any way, or ask us to send fewer or no mailings, emails or calls. Email info@fundamaya.org, call (619) 808-2109, or write to Fundamaya, 2609 Hartford St, San Diego, CA 92110. We will honor your request within 10 business days. To stop email, you can also use the unsubscribe link in any email. We will still send required gift receipts.

Reviewing and correcting your information

You may ask to see the information we hold about you, or to correct, update or delete it, using the contact details above. We will respond within 30 days. We may need to keep certain gift records to meet tax, audit and legal requirements.
