For example, if you subscribe to a newsletter, we use your contact information to mail or email the newsletter to you. If you apply to volunteer, we use information about your background, interests, and skills to help you find the right volunteer opportunity. If you register for an event, we use the information you provide to process your registration.

Groundswell Fund shares the personal information it collects with third-party vendors who act for or on behalf of Groundswell Fund.

There may be other limited circumstances in which we may share or transfer information in our databases to an unrelated third party, for example, to comply with a legal requirement or court order; in the event of a tax audit or other investigation; to investigate a possible crime, such as credit card fraud; to protect the security of our website and the integrity of our databases; if we reorganize or merge with another organization, or in some similar event.
