When you subscribe to Lifeboat News, we collect your email address and the date that you subscribed. We will not share this email address with any other company, especially advertisers.


Membership and Donation Privacy Policy

When you join or donate to Lifeboat, we collect your name and postal address, and record the date that you joined. The amount and date of donation for your initial membership donation, and any subsequent donation, is recorded for our records. We respect anonymous donations. You may submit voluntarily any other personal information we request, including phone number and email address, which we store with your membership records.
 
We do not retain credit card information but only use it to process your present donation. Credit card numbers for monthly donors are kept in a secure location and processed in a secure online batch once per month.


Compelled Disclosure

If we are required by law to disclose the information that you have submitted, we will attempt to provide you with notice (unless we are prohibited) that a request for your information has been made in order to give you an opportunity to object to the disclosure. We will attempt to provide this notice by email, if you have given us an email address, or by postal mail if you have entered a postal address. We will independently object to overly broad requests for access to information about users of our site. If you do not challenge the disclosure request, we may be legally required to turn over your information.
