We generally do not store full credit card numbers. Payment processors may collect and process payment information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to make the website function, maintain security, improve performance, remember preferences, and understand website traffic.

Cookies are small files stored on your browser or device. Some cookies are necessary for the website to work. Others may help us improve user experience or understand how visitors use the website.

You can usually set your browser to remove or reject cookies. If you disable cookies, some features of the website may not function properly.

At this time, we do not use Google Analytics, social media pixels, targeted advertising cookies, retargeting platforms, or Google Maps APIs unless otherwise stated on the website or added later.

6. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites or services.

If you click a third-party link, donate through a third-party platform, or interact with a third-party tool, your information may be governed by that third party’s privacy policy.

7. How Long We Keep Personal Information

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with applicable legal, tax, accounting, and reporting obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain records, and as otherwise permitted or required by law.

For donation and transaction records, we may retain information for as long as necessary to process donations, maintain tax and accounting records, comply with nonprofit reporting obligations, and meet applicable legal requirements.

When we no longer have a legitimate need to retain personal information, we will delete, anonymize, or securely store it in accordance with applicable law and our operational needs.

8. How We Protect Personal Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no website, internet transmission, email communication, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You use the website and transmit information to us at your own risk.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the right to:

  • Know whether we process your personal information

  • Request deletion of personal information
  • Obtain a copy of personal information you provided to us
  • Opt out of certain uses of personal information, where applicable
  • Withdraw consent, where processing is based on consent
  • Appeal a decision we make regarding a privacy request, where applicable
  • Be free from unlawful discrimination for exercising privacy rights

These rights may be limited by applicable law. For example, we may need to retain certain information for legal, tax, accounting, fraud prevention, security, or legitimate operational purposes.

To submit a privacy request, contact us at:

https://weare413.org/contact-us
hello@weare413.org

We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request. If you submit a request through an authorized agent, we may request proof that the agent is authorized to act on your behalf.

11. Marketing Communications

If you receive marketing or promotional emails from us, you may opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us.

Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send you non-marketing communications, such as donation receipts, event confirmations, administrative messages, policy updates, or responses to your inquiries.

12. Do-Not-Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not a uniform industry standard for responding to those signals, our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.

Our website does not currently process Global Privacy Control signals automatically. We also do not sell personal information or use targeted advertising technologies based on the information currently collected through the website.

If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy.

13. U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under applicable state privacy laws. These rights may include the right to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, and the right to opt out of certain processing activities.

Where applicable, we will respond to privacy requests in accordance with the requirements of the relevant law.

We do not sell personal information. We also do not knowingly use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would require an opt-out right under applicable law, based on our current website practices.

14. California “Shine the Light” Notice

California residents may request information about certain disclosures of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
