San Diego Foundation does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. San Diego Foundation may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, San Diego Foundation may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to San Diego Foundation, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Use of Web Tracking
The National Rainbow College Fund website uses cookieless tracking. Cookieless tracking is considered privacy-friendly because it does not store personal data on a user’s device.

Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of San Diego Foundation services or websites you visit.
