To make this notice easy to find, we provide a link to it on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.
2. Personally-Identifiable Information. The International Youth Foundation will not collect any personally-identifiable information (such as your name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address) about you through our Website unless you provide it to us voluntarily.

Please see the privacy policy of the third party vendor that processes such credit card donations to determine how your credit card information is used. While IYF has taken steps to assess the reliability of such vendor, IYF cannot assume responsibility for breaches of privacy committed by any third parties.
