Privacy Policy
Psi Upsilon is committed to protecting your privacy. We promise that we will take steps to use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. There are times we need information to provide services you request, and this statement of policy explains data collection and use in those situations.
Information Collection and Use
We will ask for information that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you only in specific situations. Generally, this information is requested when you join our organization, update your record on our database, make donations, place orders through the online store, complete forms or surveys, pay membership, insurance or event fees or request information. Sometimes you may provide information to our vendors in which case the information will be protected in accordance with their privacy policies. You may correct and update your information through this form.
Any contact or general membership information obtained through Psi Upsilon or its affiliate organizations may be used by chapters, chapter alumni associations, chapter house corporations, alumni special-interest groups, and the Psi Upsilon Foundation for the purposes of communicating information regarding events, volunteer opportunities and other relevant information, and for soliciting their own members for the purpose of obtaining contributions or dues for the benefit of those entities. No member, officer, chapter or affiliated entity of Psi Upsilon or The Psi Upsilon Foundation shall circularize the Fraternity, its chapters or alumni & volunteer associations, active members or alumni to solicit funds for any commercial service or purpose (including those provided by members) without the express written approval of the Executive Director.
Psi Upsilon considers an individual’s donor history to be private and does not share this detail with anyone outside of staff and volunteer leadership such as the Executive Council, Foundation Board of Directors and Alumni and Volunteer Corporations. However, Psi Upsilon does publicly recognize its donors through its giving societies which group donors within a band of giving. Donors may opt out of this public recognition at any time by requesting their giving remain anonymous.
