Information We Collect

We may collect personal information such as your first name, shipping address, billing address, and email address if you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, purchase goods or services from us, make a donation, or otherwise contact us. We do not collect or store any financial or payment information directly on our website.

When you visit our Site, we may collect certain data automatically, including IP address, browser type, device type, date/time of visit, and pages visited.

Web Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects data using cookies and similar technologies. This data is anonymized and used only to improve the performance and usability of the Site. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking through Google’s opt-out tool.

Tag Management

We use Google Tag Manager to organize and manage third-party tags on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not collect personal information; it facilitates the deployment of other scripts, such as analytics tools.

Email Marketing and CRM

We use both Mailchimp and Virtuous to manage communications and contact information. Some users may have originally signed up through Mailchimp, and others may be managed through our current CRM, Virtuous. Your name and email address may be stored securely in one or both platforms for communication purposes. You can unsubscribe at any time using links provided in our emails. Once unsubscribed, your email is retained in a suppressed (non-contactable) state to comply with anti-spam laws. You may request full deletion by contacting us.

Donations via The Giving Block and Virtuous

We use two third-party service providers—The Giving Block and Virtuous—to securely process donations. When you make a donation, you are interacting directly with these platforms, and your financial and personal data is subject to their respective privacy policies. We do not collect or store your payment details on our website. These platforms may share limited, non-financial information with us, such as name or email address, if you choose to provide it.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share information with trusted third-party service providers to help us operate our website or conduct foundation-related activities, under strict confidentiality obligations. For example, we may share information with vendors that help us fulfill orders, manage data, and process donations and credit card payments. These vendors are bound by strict confidentiality rules and are permitted to use the information only to support our operations. We also disclose information as required by law.

Your Rights

If you reside in certain jurisdictions (such as California or the EU), you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion. To exercise these rights, please contact us.

Security

We use a variety of security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, destruction or disclosure. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access to and improper use of your personal data. We protect the security of credit card transactions using a number of measures such as encryption, access controls, network firewalls, and physical security. When we work with other companies to process credit card transactions, those companies also use encryption and other appropriate security measures.

Although we have and maintain up-to-date procedures and tools in place to safeguard information in our possession, custody, or control, no website or electronic store of information can ever be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the safety of all personal information. We are committed to accuracy and precision in processing your information, have procedures to check for errors, and periodically audit our systems to ensure we process your information securely and accurately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
