• Donation and payment information (processed securely via third-party providers) 

• Username and password if you create an account 

• Communications and feedback you send to us 

 We also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed. We may also receive information about you from public databases, marketing partners, and social media platforms. 

Some information may be considered sensitive in certain jurisdictions, for example, your racial or ethnic origins, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. We only process sensitive information with your consent or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. 

  2. How do we process your information?

We process your personal information to provide, improve, and administer our services; communicate with you; prevent fraud; and comply with the law. More specifically, we process your information to: 

• Create and manage your account and donations 

• Send you updates, newsletters, and information about our programs 

• Respond to your inquiries and provide support 

• Analyze usage trends to improve our website and services 

• Detect, prevent, and address fraud and security issues 

• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies 

 We only process your information when we have a valid legal reason to do so, such as your consent, a contractual obligation, a legitimate interest, or a legal requirement. 

3.  When and with whom do we share your personal information?

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following limited situations: 

• With service providers who assist with our operations (e.g., payment processors, email platforms, website hosting) 

• To comply with legal obligations, court orders, or government requests 

• To protect the rights, property, or safety of our organization, donors, or the public 

• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with appropriate confidentiality protections 

• With your consent for any other specific purpose 

 All third-party service providers are required to use your personal information only to perform services on our behalf and in accordance with this Privacy Notice. 

4. Do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?

We may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to collect and store information when you visit our website. These technologies help us remember your preferences, understand how you use our site, and improve your experience. 

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Note that some features of our website may not function properly if cookies are disabled. 

5. How long do we keep your information? 

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). 

When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it. If deletion is not immediately possible (for example, because your data is stored in backup archives), we will securely store it and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible. 

6. How do we keep your information safe?

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include encryption, secure servers, access controls, and regular security assessments. 

However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security measures. Please use our services on a secure network and contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account. 

7. Do we collect information from minors?

We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or market to children under 13 years of age. By using our services, you represent that you are at least 13 years old, or that you are the parent or guardian of a minor using our services with your consent. 

If we learn that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under 13, please contact us at contact@hopeforthree.org. 

8. What are your privacy rights?

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information: 

• Right to access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you 

• Right to correction — request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data 

• Right to erasure — request that we delete your personal information in certain circumstances 

• Right to restrict processing — ask us to limit how we use your data 

• Right to data portability — receive your data in a structured, commonly used format 

• Right to object — object to our processing of your data in certain situations 

• Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on your consent, withdraw it at any time 

To exercise any of these rights, please visit hopeforthree.org/contact-us or email us at contact@hopeforthree.org. We will consider and act upon your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws. 

9. Controls for do-not-track features

Most web browsers and mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference to not have data about your browsing activities monitored or collected. 

At this time, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been established. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will revise this notice accordingly. 

10. Do United States residents have specific privacy rights?

Certain U.S. state laws — including California’s CCPA/CPRA, Virginia’s CDPA, Colorado’s CPA, and others — grant residents additional rights with respect to their personal information. These rights may include: 

• The right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold 

• The right to delete personal information held by businesses 

• The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information 

• The right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights 

• The right to correct inaccurate personal information 

• The right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information 

 To submit a request to exercise these rights, please contact us via our contact page or email contact@hopeforthree.org. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law. 

11. Do we make updates to this notice?

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the “Effective date” at the top of this notice and, where appropriate, notify you by email or a prominent notice on our website. 

We encourage you to review this Privacy Notice periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of our services after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised notice.
