Privacy Policy

Help the Needy 2021 respects the privacy of our donors, supporters, volunteers, website visitors, and members of our community. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, maintained, and protected when you visit our website, make a donation, join our mailing list, become a recurring supporter, contact us, or otherwise interact with Help the Needy 2021.

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, donation amount, donation preferences, and information you provide through forms or communications with us.

We may also collect limited technical information associated with use of our website, such as browser type, device information, IP address, pages visited, and general website activity when such information is provided through our website platform or service providers.

Help the Needy 2021 may use third-party payment providers, including PayPal, to process donations.

Payment card and financial account information entered directly into a third-party payment service is processed by that provider according to its own privacy and security practices. Help the Needy 2021 does not intend to store complete credit or debit card numbers through this website.

We may maintain records relating to a donation, including the donor's name, contact information, donation amount, date, payment method or status, and other information necessary for charitable recordkeeping and administration.

Information may be used to process and maintain donation records, communicate with donors and supporters, respond to inquiries, administer recurring-support relationships, provide requested information, maintain organizational records, improve the website, communicate about Help the Needy 2021's programs and activities, prevent fraud or misuse, and comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

Help the Needy 2021 does not sell donor personal information or rent donor lists to commercial marketers.

Donor information may be disclosed to service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the website, process donations, provide communications or perform services on our behalf, or when disclosure is required by law.

When Help the Needy 2021 provides public donor recognition, we will use the information and recognition preferences maintained by the organization. Donors who do not wish to be publicly recognized may request that their donation remain anonymous.

Individuals who voluntarily join our mailing list or otherwise consent to receive communications may receive news, fundraising information, event announcements and organizational updates.

Recipients may unsubscribe from promotional email communications using the unsubscribe option provided with those communications.

The website and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for website operation, security, analytics and functionality.

We take reasonable measures intended to safeguard personal information under our control. However, no website, electronic transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Our website may contain links to third-party services or websites, including payment providers and social media services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and Help the Needy 2021 is not responsible for the privacy practices of independently operated third-party websites.

This website is intended primarily for a general audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate authorization.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes become effective when the revised policy is posted to this website, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
