Statement on Pareto data breach

ACF can regretfully confirm some of our supporters’ personal information has been compromised in the Pareto data breach.

We have notified 13,500 supporters who have been affected.

We understand no ACF supporters’ credit card information or identifying documents are involved.

There is no evidence of misuse of the personal information of any of ACF’s supporters.

ACF’s own systems have not been impacted by this incident in any way.

We care about our supporters, so we are dismayed that the personal information of some of them has been compromised by a service provider.

We trusted Pareto with our supporters’ personal information so the company could help us raise funds to continue our environmental protection and advocacy work.

We are concerned Pareto kept old data it should have destroyed.

We are suspending our relationship with Pareto immediately.
