You may choose at any time not to provide personally identifiable information, although this may restrict our ability to provide requested services or information.

The following are examples of personally identifiable information that you may volunteer to provide and examples of how we use such information.

• Email Addresses - Nonprofit Connect collects email addresses from those that create online accounts, subscribe to emails, register for events. We may use your email address to send you emails from Nonprofit Connect, including marketing emails, member updates, or email newsletters.
