What this policy covers

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect or receive information in the categories below. Not every category applies to every visitor.

• Contact details you submit through forms or inquiries (for example name, email, phone, and message content).
• Donation-related information processed by payment providers (for example card transactions, billing details, and receipts) and the records the Foundation needs for stewardship and compliance.
• Website usage data collected through analytics tools (for example Google Analytics 4) such as pages viewed, approximate location at a regional level, device/browser characteristics, and how you reached the site.
• Operational and security records needed to run the site, prevent abuse, and meet legal or reporting obligations.

How we use information

• Respond to inquiries, deliver programs, and operate fundraising and donation workflows.
• Process and acknowledge gifts, maintain records, and meet accounting, tax, and nonprofit reporting expectations (as applicable).
• Understand how the site is used so we can improve content, navigation, and accessibility.
• Protect the security and integrity of the site, our users, and the Foundation.
• Comply with law, regulatory requests where appropriate, and enforce our Terms of use & conditions.

How we share information

We share information only with service providers and partners who help us operate the site and mission (for example payment processors, email or hosting providers, analytics platforms, and professional advisors), and only as needed for those purposes.

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or lawful governmental request, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of the Foundation, our users, or the public.

We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as a business model.

Cookies, analytics, and similar technologies

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand aggregate site usage. GA4 may use cookies or similar storage as described in Google’s documentation. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.

For how gifts are described legally, see Donation disclosures. For site rules, see Terms of use & conditions.

Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, tax, accounting, and operational needs, and then delete or de-identify it where appropriate.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information appropriate to the nature of the data and our operations. No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure.

You may update certain information by contacting us. You may control cookies and similar technologies through your browser where available.

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), such as rights to know, delete, and correct certain personal information, and to opt out of certain sharing (where applicable). We describe our practices in this policy; to exercise rights, contact us and we will verify and respond consistent with applicable law.

If you reside outside the United States, note that information may be processed in the United States where our systems and providers operate.

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate consent. If you believe we have collected such information, contact us so we can delete it where required.
