Right to Disclosure. You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months, such as:

    • the categories of Personal Information we have collected about you.
    • the categories of sources for the Personal Information we have collected about you.

Please note that Give InKind is prohibited by law from disclosing copies of certain pieces of Personal Information (e.g., government identification numbers, financial account information, and passwords or security questions and answers) because the disclosure would create a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of the information, our business systems, or your account.

Verification. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information unless we can verify your identity and your authority to make the request and confirm that the Personal Information relates to you. A verifiable consumer privacy request must:

    • provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we have collected Personal Information or an authorized representative.
    • describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

You do not have to sign up with Give InKind to make a verifiable consumer privacy request. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer privacy request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Authorized Agent. You may make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

If we cannot comply with part or all of your request, we will explain the reasons in our response.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer privacy request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
