How Aprize, PBC collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information.
We do not sell personal information — not to data brokers, not to advertisers, not to anyone — and we have no plans to start.
We do not currently use cookies to track visitors across our site or the wider web. If that ever changes, we will say so plainly here first.
We use your information only to serve you — to respond to inquiries, deliver requested reports and services, follow up appropriately, and keep our site secure — and we take reasonable measures designed to protect it.
Aprize, PBC ("Aprize," "we," "us," or "our") is a public-benefit corporation that builds donor-intelligence products for nonprofit fundraising teams, philanthropic organizations, and community development practitioners. This Privacy Policy describes the personal information we collect when you visit aprize.org or any subdomain that references this notice (collectively, the "Site"), interact with our forms or email, request a Donor Insight Report, attend an event we host, or otherwise engage with us.
Please read this notice carefully. By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or submit information to us.
This notice applies to personal information we collect about visitors to the Site and individuals who contact Aprize, including representatives of organizations that engage us as a service provider. It does not apply to:

The content of messages you send to us through forms, email, scheduling tools, demonstrations, or support channels, including any attachments you choose to share.
Limited technical information automatically collected by web servers and edge networks when you access the Site, including IP address, approximate geographic region, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, requested pages, and timestamps. We use this information primarily for security, abuse prevention, and aggregate traffic analysis.
We may draw limited inferences from the information above to understand which products you are interested in, to route inquiries to the right person, and to tailor follow-up communications.
We do not knowingly collect Social Security numbers, government-issued identification numbers, payment card numbers, biometric identifiers, precise geolocation data, health or genetic information, or special categories of data described under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or similar laws.

Aprize, PBC does not sell personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration, and we do not "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act, the Colorado Privacy Act, the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, or comparable state laws.
The Site uses essential cookies and similar technologies sparingly. As of the effective date above, we do not use third-party advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, or persistent profiling cookies. Limited functional and security cookies may be set by our hosting and edge providers to deliver pages reliably and to mitigate abuse. We may at our discretion add basic, privacy-respecting analytics in the future and will update this notice if we do.
Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. If you disable cookies entirely, some parts of the Site may not function as intended.
If you receive marketing or thought-leadership emails from us, every message will contain a clear opt-out mechanism. You can also email admin@aprize.org at any time and ask us to stop sending marketing communications. We will continue to send transactional or service-related messages necessary to fulfill a request you have made or to communicate about an active engagement.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, to enforce our agreements, and to resolve disputes. Retention periods vary based on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it is processed. When personal information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. These safeguards include access controls, encryption in transit, vendor diligence, and least-privilege practices for personnel.
No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is fully secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials issued to you and for promptly notifying us of any suspected unauthorized use.
The Site is intended for adult professionals working in the nonprofit, philanthropic, public, education, healthcare, and political-finance sectors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact admin@aprize.org and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Aprize is based in the United States and the Site is hosted on servers located in the United States. If you access the Site or otherwise provide personal information to us from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using the Site or contacting us, you acknowledge this transfer. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or comparable mechanisms.
Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal information:
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may also have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects. We do not currently make such decisions about Site visitors.
Residents of certain U.S. states (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Oregon, Texas, and others as laws come into effect) may have additional rights under state privacy laws. These typically include the right to know what personal information we collect, to access or delete it, to correct inaccuracies, to opt out of targeted advertising or sale (which Aprize does not engage in), and to appeal a denial of a rights request. We honor verifiable requests from residents of these states without discrimination. You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, subject to our verification.
Notice for California residents: the categories of personal information we collect and our purposes for collecting them are described in Sections 3 and 5 above. The categories of recipients with whom we share personal information are described in Section 6. We do not "sell" or "share" personal information as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act.
To exercise any of the rights described above, email admin@aprize.org with the subject line "Privacy Request." Please include enough information for us to verify your identity and to understand the nature of your request. We will not charge a fee for verifiable requests, except where permitted by law for repetitive or excessive requests.
We will acknowledge receipt of your request within ten business days where required by law and respond substantively within the time frame required by applicable law (generally within thirty to forty-five days), with any extension permitted by law. If we deny your request in whole or part, we will explain our reasons and your right to appeal where applicable.
The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services, such as professional networks, conference pages, news outlets, or partner organizations. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of any third-party site you visit.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide a more prominent notice (such as a banner on the Site or an email to addresses we have on file). Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised notice.
