I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Our primary goals in collecting Personal Data are to grant funding for our work if selected, to invite you to events designed to update you on The Auto Club Group Foundation’s activities, to allow you to request information, to have the ability to assess your organization for all grant submissions, and to thank you for your support. However, in order to deliver personalized and relevant information to you through our Website, we collect certain information from users. Please do not provide any sensitive information or health information. If you should do so inadvertently, we will use and disclose that information in the same manner as any other information you provide to us as more fully described below.
In operating our website, we may collect and process the following data or information about you:
A. INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE
If you apply for a grant to The Auto Club Group Foundation, we will request Personal Data, such as your name, address, organization details, financial information, and email address.

Unless you specify that a grant approved be “anonymous” or otherwise request that your name not be listed, we list the names of our Grantees on our Website, brochures, and other materials to recognize those who support The Auto Club Group Foundation.
