![]() ![]() If you would like to opt out of information-sharing to market GiveWell online going forward, you can notify GiveWell by checking the "Do not share my personally identifiable information with service providers to enhance GiveWell’s marketing efforts (including advertising) to others online" option here at any time. ![]() When we posted our updated Privacy Policy in May, we also should have posted an announcement of the change, as we said we would. It was not used to allow others to market to you, nor has it been sold.Īlthough this use of information is permitted under our updated Privacy Policy, we should have announced the change in Privacy Policy to you before acting. Your information has only been used to advertise GiveWell to potential donors. Facebook's terms limit their use of these emails to advertising for GiveWell. Facebook used the donor emails we shared to build a list of target prospective donors for our ad campaigns. In accordance with our new Privacy Policy, we shared your email address, and no other information, with Facebook from July 12 to July 30. We were trying to find more people like you to share GiveWell with. In July, we used data in a new way for our marketing. As always, we never share or sell donor information to allow third parties to market their work to you. ![]() The change is to support our work to grow our donor community and to increase the good our donors collectively achieve. We added that we may now share donor information with our third-party service providers assisting us to market and promote GiveWell to new and existing donors. GiveWell updated our Privacy Policy in May. We're writing to explain an action we recently took based on our updated Privacy Policy and to provide an option to tell us how you'd prefer we handle your information in the future. Worst case, I will continue to go on GiveWell’s website and donate directly to their top recommended organizations.įor people who would like more information, I found this email from Givewell after reading the above post: So why am I posting this? First to rant :), second to solicit recommendations for EA charities who care about their donors’ privacy. To tell you the truth, I realized that I had put them on a pedestal and expected higher standards from them on all dimensions, not just the effectiveness dimension. I understand that larger charities are generally cavalier with their donors’ information but for some reason I expected better from this one. I was livid and sent Givewell a reply telling them that I was pulling all donations from them due to this unacceptable behavior to their donors, of all people. I block Facebook scripts using umatrix across the web, and so on. If you’re wondering, yes I do have a Facebook account because I have to for my Oculus, but it’s not associated with an email address that I care about. Now, months later, they notified me and “allowed” me the option of opting out of this, long after my personal email address was shared with a company I consider to be unethical. I was a regular donor to Givewell over the last few years, and many times recommended them to my friends and acquaintances, but I recently received a very concerning notification from them.īasically, back in May or so, without notification, they changed the privacy policy on their website allowing them to share my email address with entities like Facebook and then went ahead and did just that (for the purposes of discovering more likely donors from my involuntary Facebook profile that I’m sure exists). ![]()
