At Rusfond USA, your right to privacy and data security is a primary concern. When you visit www.rusfondusa.org, we help you maintain control over your personal data on the Internet by adhering to our established privacy guidelines. Rusfond USA is committed to following all relevant federal and state laws regarding your personal information and how it is protected.

RUSFOND USA MAY SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION: Personal information will be shared internally at Rusfond USA to complete your donations, to contact you about our on-going work, discuss employment or volunteer opportunities and ways that you can further support our efforts to help children in need. Your personal information will also be used to provide you access to the various sections of our website, if any, that have been personalized for your needs.

Credit Card Transactions, Electronic Fund Transfers, Payments by Check or Money Order and On-line Transactions.

If you choose to make an application for employment, make a donation on-line, by phone, through the mail or by other means, we will share your personal information with our processing service providers. We make an effort to require all third party service-providers to hold personal information in strict confidence.
