# Fees & Privacy ## Fees and Costs ### What fees are associated with GiveGenius? GiveGenius currently has a one-time onboarding fee for all new participating charities. This fee supports your setup, configuration, website integration support, verification, and access to the full GiveGenius toolset. ### Will fees change in the future? GiveWise is in the process of developing expanded partnership tiers and additional support options for charities. As our platform grows and new features are introduced, some fees or program structures may evolve. Any future changes will be shared clearly in advance so charities can choose the level of service and support that best fits their needs. Processing costs for certain donation methods may also change over time as we expand giving options and integrate additional payment technologies. We will always communicate these updates transparently. *** ## Privacy and Security ### How does GiveGenius protect the privacy of charities and donors? GiveWise takes security and privacy seriously. All data within the platform is encrypted, stored within a secure network environment, and protected through multiple layers of access controls and monitoring. Our systems follow strict data protection standards and are continually reviewed and improved. Information shared by donors and charities is used only for gift processing, reporting, and compliance purposes. We are committed to safeguarding the privacy and integrity of every charity and donor who uses our platform. *** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
