We collect personally identifiable information—such as your name, email address, and mailing address—only when you choose to provide it. This may occur when you subscribe to our newsletter, complete a form, make a donation, or register for events.

We also collect non-personal information, such as browser type and pages visited, through the use of cookies and other technologies to help us improve site performance and user experience.

We do not sell or rent your information. Any third-party service providers we work with (such as payment processors or email platforms) are required to keep your data secure and use it solely for services on our behalf.

Use of Aggregate Data

We collect non-personally identifiable information on an aggregate basis to better understand how users interact with our website. This includes metrics like page visits, time on site, and referral links. This information is used to guide improvements to content and usability.

Sharing Your Information

We do not share your personal information with outside parties unless it is necessary to fulfill your request, operate our services, or comply with the law. Third-party providers assisting with operations (like our web host or donor processing service) are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
