Protecting privacy – Meld best practices into your policy and procedures

Description

Abstract: The protection of an individual’s privacy strikes the core of nonprofits, which collect a significant amount of personal data on clients, donors and other constituents. Safeguarding their privacy starts with the development of a privacy policy and procedures to bring it home. This article discusses how nonprofits can find guidance in the Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Generally Accepted Privacy Principles (GAPP). A sidebar discusses three helpful documents that can be found online.
