Privacy Policy

Central Florida Public Media’s membership base is a financially important and uniquely valuable asset to Central Florida Public Media. Its principal value, however, is the inherent trust and belief by the members that Central Florida Public Media will follow ethical best practices in the confidential care and maintenance of the list and its use as a communications tool for the station. Central Florida Public Media does not sell, rent, or trade its member list. Donor information in the Central Florida Public Media member database is completely confidential.

It is the policy of Central Florida Public Media to protect the privacy of our donors and the confidentiality of information - both hard copy and electronic - concerning them and their contributions. Furthermore, the use of donor information for political or commercial purposes is strictly prohibited. Central Florida Public Media maintains databases of biographical and financial information about Central Florida Public Media members and prospects in accordance with the general needs and expectations of Central Florida Public Media. The information contained in this database is intended exclusively for purposes related to Central Florida Public Media programs and is highly protected.

It shall also be the policy of Central Florida Public Media to maintain and advance a practice that allows the station to mail to contacts from within the Central Florida Public Media database, information regarding membership, renewal and periodic or ongoing communication with the member, whether lapsed or current. The list shall also be utilized, for similar telemarketing purposes by Central Florida Public Media.

For member acquisition beyond the database, Central Florida Public Media may elect to purchase or rent names from a third party provider of mailing lists. Under no circumstance shall Central Florida Public Media rent or purchase names for acquisition purposes from any political party or religious group.

Members are able to "opt out" from any Central Florida Public Media initiated communication such as newsletters, additional gift appeals, renewals, sweepstakes and the like. If you wish to “opt out” of Central Florida Public Media communications, please send your name and mailing address to member-services@cfpublic.org. Please note: if mailings are already in progress it may take 4 – 6 weeks before you stop receiving postal mail from Central Florida Public Media.

For more information on Central Florida Public Media's Privacy Policy please email the membership department at member-services@cfpublic.org.

This policy shall be formally communicated to and acknowledged by appropriate Central Florida Public Media staff, service agencies; list brokers and direct response vendors.
