Gift and Donation Privacy Policy

November, 2009

The Bangor Public Library believes in respecting the privacy of our donors. Our policy for those donating on-line is to use information you provide for internal purposes only. We maintain appropriate security measures that are designed to keep this information private. 

Users can visit Bangor Public Library sites without revealing any personal information. If one chooses to give personal information via the Internet for the purposes of correspondence, requesting library materials, or subscribing to a library publication, we will use that information only for Library purposes. 

If members or donors tell us that they do not wish to have personal information used for further contact, we will respect those wishes. We do track the domains from which people visit us should we wish to analyze this data for trends, insights and statistics. Information may be maintained on an “opt-in” basis for communications and for library services and publications. 

The Bangor Public Library takes precautions to keep user information secure. The Library does not disclose donor-specific information to third parties or for commercial purposes. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. The Bangor Public Library uses SSL encryption for all financial transactions to protect personal information.

The Bangor Public Library does not rent, exchange or sell donors' or potential donors' names and addresses or library users names and addresses to outside businesses or organizations.

Refund and Return Policies and Delivery Method Policies are not relevant for on-line donations, since nothing is exchanged for gifts and donations to the Library.
