Privacy Policy

Information we collect

This website does not host donation forms, accounts, or contact forms. We collect personal information only when you choose to send it to us — for example, when you email or call the foundation. That information typically consists of your name, your email address or phone number, and whatever you include in your message.

Donations

Donations are processed by Stripe on a Stripe-hosted payment page. When you click "Donate," you leave this website. Payment card details are entered on Stripe's page and are handled by Stripe under its own privacy policy; the foundation never receives or stores your full card number. We receive the donor and transaction details Stripe makes available to us so that we can acknowledge and record your gift.

How we use information

We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, to acknowledge and record donations, and to meet our recordkeeping and reporting obligations as a 501(c)(3) public charity.

Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us operate — such as our website host, email provider, and Stripe — and where required by law.

Third-party content and hosting logs

Some pages load content from third parties — for example, the Candid transparency seal displayed on our Transparency page is served by Candid. When your browser requests that content, the third party may receive standard technical request data such as your IP address. In addition, the ordinary hosting and security logs that keep this website running may record technical data (such as IP addresses and browser information) needed to operate and secure the site.

Your choices

You may ask us to correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, subject to any records we are required to retain. Contact us at info@thecookefoundation.org.
