The Site may use cookies or similar technologies to:

– Understand general site usage and performance (through basic analytics)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how the Site functions, but basic content should remain accessible.

If you use built-in browser tools like “Do Not Track,” our response may depend on your browser, our hosting platform, and any analytics tools in use. We aim to keep tracking minimal and non-invasive.

We may share your information with trusted third parties only when necessary to operate the Site and deliver services, for example:

– Payment processors (to process purchases or donations)
– Website hosting providers
– Email service providers (for newsletters or updates you opt into)
– Analytics providers (for basic site usage statistics)

These third parties are only authorized to use your information as needed to provide services to us and are expected to handle it securely.

We use third-party payment processors, including Square, to securely process payments and donations. When you make a purchase or donation, your payment information is handled directly by these processors and is subject to their own privacy policies.

For more information, you can review Square’s Privacy Notice here:

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

This means that contact emails and form submissions may be kept for record-keeping and reference. Order/donation information may be retained as required by tax and accounting laws. Newsletter subscription data is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we do our best to handle your data with care and minimal collection.
