We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you interact with us, such as when you contact us, sign up for our newsletter, volunteer, or make a donation. This information may include your name, email address, or similar contact information.

We may also automatically collect limited technical information when you use our website. This may include information such as browser type, device details, IP address, and general usage data.

Sharing, Retention, and Security of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, and only to the extent necessary for them to perform those services. We may also disclose information if required to do so by law.

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

We take reasonable measures to protect information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
