1. Data Collection

   We collect information voluntarily provided by Users, such as names, email addresses, contact information, and feedback through donation forms, event registration, or mailing list subscriptions.

   Squarespace, our web host, may also collect non-personal data (such as IP addresses, browser types, referring URLs, and pages viewed) through analytics and site management tools as part of its hosting services.

   Personal information is used exclusively for purposes consistent with the Foundation’s charitable mission, such as communicating with volunteers, processing donations, or responding to inquiries. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer personal data outside the organization, except as required by law or third-party service providers engaged on behalf of the Foundation for essential business functions (e.g., payment processors, email services).

3. Data Protection

   We implement reasonable security measures, including secure hosting and encryption protocols provided by Squarespace, to safeguard personal information. Despite these efforts, the Foundation cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet.

4. Data Retention

   User information is retained only as long as required for legal, operational, or reporting purposes, and is deleted or anonymized when no longer needed.

5. Cookie Policy

   The Website may use cookies or similar technologies provided by Squarespace to enhance User experience, analyze website traffic, and tailor content. Users may adjust browser settings to block cookies, though certain Website features may become unavailable.
