Charity Donation Privacy Checklist

Donor data limits before monitoring: SecurityChecklist keeps this draft free-first and claim-safe. Optional paid cards use claim-ledger prices from 2026-08-09 (Aura Individual $12/mo billed annually; Incogni Standard $7.99/mo billed annually). Overall scores stay unpublished (unpublished). Who should not buy: anyone who has not finished the free steps on this page, anyone treating monitoring as a freeze substitute, or anyone who needs a published overall score before acting.
