How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only in these limited cases:

Service providers: trusted companies that help us operate, such as our website and donor management platform (CharityEngine) and payment processors. They may use your information only to provide services to us.
Program partners: with your permission, we may share relevant member information with golf courses, PGA professionals, and employment partners who host our clinics and events.

We will not share member military or injury information outside these purposes without consent.

Payment Processing and Security

Online gifts are processed through secure, encrypted connections. Our donation forms are hosted by CharityEngine, and payment card information is handled by PCI-compliant payment processors. On Course Foundation does not store full credit card numbers.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and limit access to staff and service providers who need it.
