Personal Information
We do not collect personally identifiable information from you unless you provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. We do gather personal data, such as names, addresses, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers from our active benefactors or when voluntarily and knowingly submitted by a visitor.
If you make a donation, register for an event or register for our newsletter, for example, we will collect your name, mailing address and email address, as well as a phone number for use in case of a problem processing your gift/request. We will maintain your voluntarily-provided information in our secure, password-protected constituent database in order to record your donations and your contact preferences (e.g. to contact you again or to record that you prefer no further contact).
You may contact us at any time by phone, mail or using the Opt-Out Form (link below) and request to no longer receive mail or emails from us.

What We Do with the Information We Collect
Unless you indicate otherwise, when you make your donation, you will occasionally receive postal mailings from us regarding news and updates at St. Christopher’s Inn as well as opportunities to make another donation. We will use your e-mail address or phone number to contact you if we have a question regarding your order/donation. We may also use your e-mail address to periodically send you news and updates as well as opportunities to donate again if you have indicated you wish to receive them from us when you make a donation, or complete an Opt-In request form (link below).

When you make a credit card donation online at the St. Christopher’s Inn website, the monetary gift is considered to express your willful intent to offer a contribution to our organization. However, if for any reason you have a discrepancy with a transaction, you may contact us by phone at: 888-720-8247, or by mail at St. Christopher’s Inn, P.O. Box 303, Garrison, NY 10524.
