We will not sell your name or mailing address or e-mail address to any third-party organization. We may share your name, address and email address with third party vendors who have agreed to supply services to C-Mental Health/GCC for the purpose of delivering promotional merchandise.

In the event you donate to support the participation of someone you know in an event or general fundraising effort benefitting C-Mental Health/GCC, we may share your name, email address, and the amount and date you donated with the participant.

In certain extreme cases, we may share information with government agencies or other companies assisting us in fraud prevention or investigation or to comply with any legal obligations, or to protect our rights or those of other parties involved.

We will not require such users to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the fundraising activity. Parents can agree to the collection and use of their child’s information, and we will not share that child’s information with third parties unless that information is necessary to support the fundraising activity.
