Our website may use cookies and similar technologies provided by Wix or other services integrated into the website.

 

Cookies may be used for purposes such as:

 

  • Website functionality;

  • Security;

  • Remembering preferences;

  • Understanding website usage; and

The specific cookies and technologies used may change as website features or services are added or modified.

Jacaranda Foundation uses third-party service providers to operate certain aspects of the website and its activities.

 

These may include:

 

  • Wix, which provides website hosting and related website services;

  • Wix Payments and applicable payment processors, which facilitate online donations and payment transactions; and

  • Other service providers that may be added in the future to support website functionality, security, communications, or organizational operations.

 

These service providers may have access to personal information when necessary to perform services on our behalf or to provide their services.

 

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

 

7. Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect

 

Jacaranda Foundation does not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through this website unless such information is voluntarily provided by an individual and is reasonably necessary for a specific interaction or service.

 

We ask visitors not to submit sensitive personal information through general contact or volunteer forms unless specifically requested.

 

8. Children's Privacy

 

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

 

Because Jacaranda Foundation's mission involves supporting children and their families, information about children may occasionally be provided by a parent, guardian, caregiver, or authorized representative in connection with a program, inquiry, or other legitimate interaction.

 

We encourage parents, guardians, and caregivers to exercise appropriate caution when submitting information concerning children.

 

9. How We Protect Personal Information

 

Jacaranda Foundation takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or loss.

 

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

 

We encourage users to exercise appropriate care when submitting information online.

 

10. How Long We Keep Information

 

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including maintaining appropriate organizational, financial, legal, and administrative records.

 

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

 

11. Your Privacy Choices

 

You may contact Jacaranda Foundation to ask questions about personal information you have provided to us or to request that we update or correct inaccurate information.

 

Certain information may need to be retained when required for legal, financial, tax, security, or other legitimate organizational purposes.

12. California Privacy

 

Jacaranda Foundation is a California nonprofit organization.

 

Although certain California privacy laws apply specifically to businesses and may not apply to nonprofit organizations, Jacaranda Foundation is committed to maintaining transparent and responsible privacy practices.

 

If you have questions about how we collect, use, or disclose your personal information, you may contact us at any time.

 

13. Do Not Track

 

Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting that can send a signal to websites indicating that a user does not wish to have their online activity tracked.

 

Our website does not currently use a separate response mechanism for browser Do Not Track signals.

 

Because website technologies and third-party services may change over time, this section may be updated if our practices change.

 

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

 

Jacaranda Foundation may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, services, technology, organizational practices, or applicable requirements.

 

When changes are made, the updated Privacy Policy will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

 

We encourage visitors to review this page periodically.
