The Information We Collect
Tez Child Fund Africa is the sole owner of the information collected on the Site. We primarily collect information from users only in connection with online donations, sales of tickets to special events or fundraisers, and for any other purposes that are clearly identified.

Occasionally, Tez Child Fund Africa does exchange or rent mail lists to like-minded organizations through bonded third-party vendors. These organizations are never given direct access to Tez Child Fund Africa’ donor database. Tez Child Fund Africa itself screens each mailing before we allow it to be sent to our list. Information pertaining to current Tez Child Fund Africa board members, major donors, and/or $250+ donors is never — under any circumstance — released to external entities for the purpose of list rentals or exchanges.
Should you not wish your information to be shared with other organizations, you may opt out at any time by contacting Donor Relations at info@tezchildfundafrica.com.
Also, when you send a donation in honor or in memory of someone and request that an acknowledgment be sent to another individual/family, we will use the name and address of that individual/family for acknowledgment purposes only.
