Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the personal data provided to BGCMLA when you browse this website, make a donation, register for an event, sign up for a newsletter, or otherwise provide us with information via the website or any other domain names owned or controlled by BGCMLA (the “Website”). It also applies to personal data you may provide to BGCA via telephone, email, regular mail, social media, texting or in response to personal solicitations.

BGCMLA believes in safeguarding personal information and ensuring that privacy is respected and protected for donors, local Boys & Girls Clubs, all youth, volunteers, vendors and members of the Alumni & Friends Association. We will use personal information to keep donors, friends, vendors, volunteers and alumni informed of our activities, including our programs, special events and funding needs. We respect all requests to remain anonymous. We will always provide an “opt-out” procedure for donors and others who receive such materials to request that their names be deleted from similar mailings, phone calls, faxes or electronic communications in the future.

At any time donors, volunteers, alumni and friends may “opt- out” or be removed from our contact lists and can unsubscribe to emails. BGCA will discontinue contact with any person upon oral or written request. For questions regarding our privacy policy or to make an “opt-out” request, please feel free to contact us at:

Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Los Angeles

Attn: Resource Development Department

5029 S. Vermont Ave,

Los Angeles, CA 90037

Phone: (213) 628-3673
Email: Marketing@bgcmla.org

BGCMLA will maintain an electronic record in our database of all requests for discontinuance of contacts. Oral requests will be recorded in writing by BGCMLA staff and will then be permanently recorded in the electronic donor database.

Storage of Data

Donor information is maintained in a password-protected, secured database. Only authorized personnel have access to this information and only for appropriate business purposes. This information is shared with authorized staff, only on a confidential and need-to-know basis. 

Privacy Practices of Other Sites

This Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information BGCMLA collects online through this site, not information that BGCMLA collects through other sources. For your convenience, this site may contain social media links, or addresses, please be aware BGCMLA has no affiliation or control over the content or privacy policy of these other parties. Carefully review the approach these sites take to your privacy before you use them or provide them with information.

We assume no liability for any unauthorized actions of third parties or accidental transmission errors that may disclose information about you, and BGCMLA is not responsible for these other sites' privacy practices, which may be different from BGCMLA's privacy practices.

Minors

BGCMLA does not intend to collect personal information from children under the age of 13. While we encourage children to visit our site and learn more about our programs, children under the age of 13 are not authorized to make a donation or purchase, sign up for an event or program, or otherwise provide any personally identifiable information without consent from a parent or legal guardian. We recommend that parents approve and closely supervise the activity of their children at this and all other online sites and discuss with their children restrictions regarding the online release of personal information to anyone they don't know.

Donation Payment Processing

BGCMLA understands the importance of privacy and confidentiality to users of this site.
