Cybersecurity Policy

1. Introduction

At Findraiser.ai, we prioritize security to protect your personal information and ensure our platform runs safely. This policy explains the steps we take to keep data secure, prevent cyber threats, and protect users.

2. How We Keep Your Data Safe

  • Encryption: We use advanced encryption to keep sensitive data, such as donor records and user emails, safe. This means that even if someone intercepts the data, they cannot read it.

  • Data Protection: Our AI does not directly access donor data. Instead, it works with structured queries, keeping sensitive information hidden.

  • Access Control: Only authorized team members can access certain data, and we keep detailed logs to track any unusual activity.

3. Secure User Login & Access

Secure Sign-in: We use multi-factor authentication (MFA), which means you’ll need more than just a password to access your account.

  • Minimal Access: Each user gets only the permissions they need, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

  • Automatic Logouts: If you're inactive for a while, the system will log you out automatically to protect your account.

4. Protection Against Cyber Threats

  • Private & Secure Systems: Our backend systems are kept in a private, secure environment, isolated from public access.

  • Firewalls & Security Monitoring: We have strong firewalls and monitoring tools that block hacking attempts and track suspicious activity.

  • DDoS Protection: We use AWS Shield to guard against cyberattacks that try to overload our system.

5. Monitoring & Rapid Response to Threats

  • 24/7 Security Monitoring: Our system continuously tracks activity to detect unusual behavior.

  • Real-Time Alerts: If a security threat is detected, our team is notified immediately.

  • Incident Response Plan: In case of a security breach, we follow a strict plan to contain and fix the issue quickly.

6. Safe Development & System Updates

  • Regular Security Reviews: Our team routinely checks and updates the system to fix security vulnerabilities.

  • Secure Software Development: We scan all software for security issues before launching new updates.

  • Isolated Testing: We test updates in a separate environment before applying them to the main platform, ensuring stability and security.

7. User Responsibilities for Security

To help keep your account safe, we recommend:

  • Using strong, unique passwords and updating them regularly.

  • Enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA).

  • Reporting any suspicious activity or unauthorized access immediately.

8. Compliance with Security Standards

We follow industry best practices and comply with:

  • CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) – Protecting user data privacy.

  • FEC & NGP Regulations – Ensuring compliance with donor data handling laws.

  • AWS Security Best Practices – Maintaining a secure cloud infrastructure.

9. Data Retention & Backup Policy

  • Regular Updates: Donor data is updated weekly to ensure accuracy.

  • Secure Backups: We regularly back up all data and store it securely to prevent data loss.

  • Disaster Recovery Plan: If a major failure occurs, we have a backup system in place to restore everything quickly.
