Privacy Policy
Effective November 4, 2026
MEGA International Legacy Foundation (“MEGA,” “we,” “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through megalegacy.org, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
When you make a donation, we collect your first and last name, email address, gift amount and frequency, whether you chose to cover processing fees, any dedication you enter (for example, “in memory of” a loved one), and whether you asked that your gift remain anonymous.
Payment information such as card or bank account numbers is entered directly on the secure checkout page of our payment processor, Stripe. MEGA never sees or stores your full card or bank account number.
When you email or call us, we receive the information you choose to share.
When you visit the site, our hosting provider automatically processes basic technical information, such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver pages securely and protect the site from abuse.
How we use your information
- To process your gift and send your receipt and tax acknowledgment
- To manage monthly gifts, including receipts and notices about failed or expiring payment methods
- To send a year-end summary of your gifts for your tax records
- To thank you personally and, from time to time, share updates about the work your gift supports
- To keep accurate financial records as required of a 501(c)(3) public charity
- To prevent fraud and protect the security of our donation form
If you ask that your gift remain anonymous, we will not name you in any public recognition of donors.
Who we share information with
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us operate, and only as needed for them to do so:
- Stripe processes donations and manages monthly gifts.
- Resend delivers receipts and other donor emails on our behalf.
- Vercel hosts this website.
- Cloudflare may check that donation requests come from a real person rather than an automated program.
We may also disclose information when required by law.
Emails from MEGA
Receipts and tax acknowledgments are part of processing your gift. If you would rather not receive occasional updates about our work, reply to any email from us or write to giving@megalegacy.org and we will remove you from those updates.
Monthly gifts
You can update your payment method, change your amount, or cancel a monthly gift at any time using the “Manage your monthly gift” link in your receipt emails, or by contacting us.
How long we keep information
We keep donation records for as long as needed to provide receipts and meet our legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
Security
The site uses encrypted connections (HTTPS), and payments are handled by Stripe, a certified payment processor. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.
Children
Our donation form is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.
Your choices
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete your personal information, subject to records we are required to keep. Contact us using the information below.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above shows when it was last changed.
