Information we collect
What you provide to us
When you sign up to volunteer, RSVP for an event, subscribe to updates, or contact us, you may provide information such as your name, email address, phone number, city, and any message you include. If you choose to donate through a third-party processor, that processor collects and processes payment information; we may receive confirmation details such as donation amount and contact information.
Automatically collected information
Like most websites, our servers may automatically log basic information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and the date/time of access. We use this information to maintain site security, understand site performance, and improve content.
How we use information
We use information to: respond to messages; provide campaign updates you request; coordinate volunteer activity and event participation; maintain the security and integrity of the website; and comply with applicable laws and reporting obligations. We do not sell or give away your personal information.
Sharing and disclosure
We may share information with trusted service providers who help operate the website and campaign communications (for example, email delivery, website hosting, analytics, and donation processing). We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights and safety, or to prevent fraud and abuse.
Cookies and analytics

Data retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described above, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, and then delete or de-identify it when appropriate.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. No website can guarantee absolute security, so please use caution when sending sensitive information online.
Children’s privacy
