GBI Foundation / Privacy policy
Privacy policy
This policy describes how Global Build International Foundation Inc. ("GBI Foundation," "we") handles information on gbifoundation.org. Effective November 3, 2026.
Who we are
Global Build International Foundation Inc., EIN 47-4016484, 2200 Wilson Blvd, Suite 102-42, Arlington, VA 22201, United States. Email info@gbifoundation.org.
Information you send us
If you email us, or if you use a form on this site and then send the email your device prepares, we receive what you put in that message: typically your name, email address, and the topic you wrote about. Gift arrangements may also include an amount, a mailing address, and the name of a donor-advised fund or company. Volunteer offers may include your location and skills.
When you submit a form, the website sends the inquiry to our staff mailbox or saves it in a staff inquiry queue, depending on how the site is configured. Authorized staff use the details to respond and track follow-up. If the website cannot confirm receipt, you can email info@gbifoundation.org directly.
How we use it
- To answer you and to administer a gift, a volunteer offer, or a partnership.
- To send a receipt for a gift we receive.
- To send the occasional program note if you asked for one. You can ask us to stop and we will.
- To meet tax, charity, and record-keeping duties.
We do not sell personal information. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it to build advertising audiences. This website does not run third-party ad networks.
Donation forms and payment information
The donation page loads Funraise to provide the giving form. Opening it may send technical information, including your IP address and the page address, to Funraise and its service providers. Contact and payment information entered in that form is handled by Funraise and the selected payment provider. Do not enter payment details into our general inquiry forms or send them by email.
The current donation form is a test preview while payment setup is incomplete. It does not process real gifts. Do not enter real card details into the preview. We do not record preview interactions as received donations.
Inquiries and optional email updates
When you submit an inquiry, we include your chosen interest, program preference, source page path, and a request reference with the message to our team. We do not include the page's query string in that record. Requesting a reply does not subscribe you to marketing updates. News updates are a separate optional choice, or you can select the explicit stay-connected signup route.
Our staff can use the recorded preference to manage appropriate follow-up. A website submission does not confirm an active mailing-list subscription. We do not currently send SMS messages from website forms or ask for a phone number in the guided signup. To change your email preference, write to info@gbifoundation.org.
Analytics, if we turn them on
As published, this site does not load Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager. If we later enable them, we will name the tools on this page before we do, use them to understand page use and form completion, and avoid selling the resulting data. A completion event, such as a volunteer offer, is an operational record. It is not a product we license.
Cookies
This static site does not set advertising cookies. Your browser may store nothing from us beyond what it keeps for any ordinary page. If a future analytics tool sets a cookie, this section will describe it.
How long we keep email
We keep correspondence and gift records for as long as charity, tax, and audit practice require, and then delete or archive them under our record schedule. You may ask what mail we still have that names you.
Your requests
Email info@gbifoundation.org to ask for a copy of the information we hold from you, to correct it, or to stop notes. We will verify the request in a reasonable way before we act. Residents of places with extra privacy rights, including California and the European Economic Area, may write with the same request. We will honor what applies to a charity of our size and activities. This policy is not a claim that every local statute imposes the same duty on us.
Children
This site is written for adults deciding whether to give, volunteer, or learn about programs. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Program sessions for minors, if any are held with a partner, will be arranged with that partner's own consent process, not through a form on this marketing site.
Security
The site is meant to be served only over HTTPS. Email is not a fully private channel. Do not send a Social Security number, a full card number, or a medical record to our inbox. We do not ask for them.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will change the effective date at the top and keep the page at this same address.
