Privacy Policy

Your privacy is paramount. The Southampton Hospital Foundation is committed to ensuring the privacy, confidentiality, and security of those who visit and make donations on our website. This statement describes our information collection practices and explains how we use and protect your personal information. This statement applies specifically to information collected by this website.

Credit Card Information
To ensure that credit card information is secure and electronic payments are processed safely and efficiently, we use a secured site to protect your online donation.

Other Personally Identifiable Information
To make an online gift, we require you to provide your full name and mailing address, and request that you provide your email address. You may also choose to provide additional information. You may elect to receive emails from us, and you may opt out of receiving email alerts by clicking on the appropriate unsubscribe link. This website will not sell or transfer such information to any third parties for commercial marketing. Information may be transferred when necessary to authorize third parties such as the secured site to process the transaction you are authorizing and to use the necessary information needed to perform their functions. In addition, we may disclose personal information when we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is required by law. Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, Southampton Hospital Association, and Southampton Hospital Foundation may use the information you provide to update your contact information and to maintain contact with our donors. Finally, the information you provide when making a gift will be used to deliver personalized tax acknowledgements of your donation.

Publication of Donor Names
The names of all donors may be included on our website’s Gratitude page, in materials such as event programs, annual reports, and other appropriate publications, in both print and electronic formats, unless otherwise requested by the donor. Donors who have made gifts to the Foundation via bequest or other testamentary device are deemed to have granted such permission unless otherwise specified in the gift instrument or other document.
