This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you access or use our website, submit referrals, make donations, or communicate with us. By using our website and services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

Personal Information

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you interact with our website, including when you submit a referral, make a donation, or contact us directly. This information may include your name, email address, phone number, organization or agency name, and any other details you choose to provide through forms or communications. This information is collected only when you knowingly submit it and is used strictly for the purposes outlined in this policy.

Referral and Program-Related Information

When authorized professionals submit referrals, additional information may be provided about potential participants. This may include demographic details, eligibility information, and other relevant background details necessary for program placement. This information is handled with care and is used solely for evaluating eligibility and delivering appropriate services.

Automatically Collected Information

We may collect limited non-personal information automatically when you visit our website, such as browser type, device type, pages visited, and general usage data. This information helps us understand how visitors use our site and allows us to improve functionality and user experience.

How We Use Your Information

Program Operations and Service Delivery

We use the information collected to review referrals, determine program eligibility, coordinate placements, and provide structured support services. This includes communication with authorized professionals and agencies involved in the referral or placement process.

Communication and Support

Your contact information may be used to respond to inquiries, provide updates, request additional information, or share important notices related to our services. We aim to communicate only when necessary and relevant to your interaction with our organization.

Donations and Payment Processing

When you make a donation through PayPal or Stripe, your payment information is processed securely by these third-party providers. We do not collect, store, or have access to sensitive financial information such as credit card numbers or bank account details. These platforms operate under their own privacy and security policies.

Website Improvement

Non-personal usage data may be used to analyze website performance, improve navigation, and enhance the overall user experience. This helps ensure that our website remains accessible, efficient, and user-friendly.

Data Sharing and Security

Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party platforms such as Jotform to collect and manage form submissions. These providers are responsible for maintaining the security and integrity of the data they process and are selected based on their reliability and security practices.

Data Protection Measures

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse. While we take appropriate steps to secure your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Limited Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties. Information may be shared only when necessary to support program operations, coordinate services with authorized agencies, or comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal obligations.
