Information Sharing

The Foundation does not sell or share your information for commercial solicitation or political purposes. However, we routinely share information with the University and other organizations that support the University (such as the UNM Alumni Association and the UNM Lobo Club). Also, the University, the Foundation and the UNM Alumni Association maintain a joint database of former student and donor records to provide service in a cost effective and efficient manner to both you and the University. Information provided to the UNM Foundation and stored on the unified database is accessible to the University and the UNM Alumni Association. You may wish to review the privacy policy of the University and the UNM Alumni Association for disclosure of how they may utilize this information.

Online Giving Using a Credit Card

The Foundation values and respects donor privacy and security. The Foundation complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). One-time gifts or recurring gifts may be made online through the Foundation’s website (www.unmfund.org), by calling the Foundation (505-313-7600 | Option 4), or by mailing to the Foundation (700 Lomas Blvd. NE, Woodward Building 2, Albuquerque, NM 87102). Online donations are processed through the Foundation’s secure online website, which does not store payment card information. Gifts called into or mailed to the Foundation are processed by Foundation staff via the Foundation’s secure online website or online terminal interface. The Foundation uses Authorize.net, a United States-based payment gateway service provider, to securely process payment card transactions. Once the payment card information is entered online, Foundation staff immediately redacts the payment card number and follows proper retention and destruction guidelines.

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. We use the latest technologies to provide a secure environment for record retention both on- and off-line. When you enter personal information on our forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer (SSL) technology. Look for the lock icon on web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox®, Google Chrome® and Windows® Internet Explorer as an indication you are on a secure page. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of that information.
