Welcome to Goodness Giveaway!

Your privacy is important to us and we are committed to be transparent about the data we collect, how it is used, and with whom it is shared.

This policy describes the information we use to support Goodness Giveaway, and applies when you use our services.

Introduction

We are an online SaaS platform that allows users to create and manage different Giveaways/campaigns they can then share through any channel (Ex. Facebook, Twitter, Email, in person, etc..) to engage with their following in the good they are doing in the world. We do this by allowing partners to giveaway funds and tap into the communities in which they live & operate; giving their community a voice on what causes/non-profits matter to them. We then help advise companies on how to allocate their corporate social responsibility dollars to meet the needs of their communities and distribute those funds for them.
