Information Collected

We may collect the following information:

• Name
• Email address
• Organization name
• Payment information (processed through secure third-party providers)
• Survey responses or playtest feedback
• Event participation data

We collect only information necessary to deliver services, improve products, and communicate with participants.

Use of Information

Collected information is used to:

• Deliver products and services
• Improve educational content
• Provide event communications
• Share relevant resources
• Report aggregate, non-identifiable impact data to sponsors

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. Information may be shared with trusted service providers solely for operational purposes.

Data Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• Use of reputable, security-vetted third-party service providers for payment processing, CRM management, email communications, and event hosting
• Encryption of payment information during transmission via industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols
• Role-based access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel only
• Password protection and multi-factor authentication where supported
• Regular review of platform security settings and access permissions

Payment information is processed and stored directly by third-party payment processors. The Generosity Spectrum does not store full credit card numbers.

Data Retention. Personal information is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill operational, legal, tax, or reporting obligations, after which it is securely deleted or anonymized.

Data Breach Response. In the event of a confirmed data breach involving personal information under our control, we will take reasonable steps to investigate, mitigate harm, and provide notice in accordance with applicable laws.

While we take reasonable precautions to protect data, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Participation in digital services acknowledges this inherent risk.

Workshop Confidentiality

Workshops may involve discussion of professional challenges, organizational strategy, or personal experiences. The Generosity Spectrum requests that participants treat all non-public information shared during sessions as confidential. Specifically, participants agree not to:

• Disclose identifiable statements made by other participants without explicit permission
• Record sessions without prior authorization
• Share screenshots, chat transcripts, or written reflections containing identifiable participant information

The Generosity Spectrum may record sessions for internal training, quality assurance, or educational purposes. When recordings occur, participants will be notified in advance. Confidentiality in group settings cannot be absolutely guaranteed. By participating, individuals acknowledge this limitation and agree to exercise discretion in sharing sensitive information.

AI Use Disclosure

The Generosity Spectrum may incorporate artificial intelligence tools to support learning, synthesis, facilitation, or product development. When AI tools are used, we adhere to ethical frameworks informed by sector-specific initiatives such as Fundraising.AI and related nonprofit data ethics standards. Our approach is guided by the following principles:

• Human oversight remains primary. AI supports decision-making but does not replace professional judgment.
• Participants will be informed when AI tools are being used in a session or product.
• Only necessary information is used for AI-supported features.
• Personal participant data will not be used to train open, public AI systems.
• We recognize that AI systems can reflect and amplify bias. We evaluate tools with this risk in mind.
• Responsibility for outcomes remains with The Generosity Spectrum and its facilitators, not the AI system.
• We do not deploy AI tools for surveillance, automated profiling without disclosure, or undisclosed behavioral manipulation.

AI is used to enhance reflection and learning, not to replace human relationships.

Transactional Communication

Participants may receive transactional emails related to purchases, registrations, or event logistics.

Marketing Consent

Marketing communications are sent only when an individual:

• Actively opts in via a form
• Checks a consent box during registration
• Completes a confirmed subscription process

Individuals may unsubscribe at any time via the link provided in marketing emails.

Sponsor Data Sharing

Participant contact information will not be shared with sponsors unless:

• Explicitly disclosed at registration
• Participants provide affirmative consent
