We respect the privacy of our donors, supporters, volunteers, and website visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information obtained through our website and related online services.

3. Donation and Payment Processing:

Hands and Feet Global utilizes third-party service providers, including DonorPerfect and SafeSave, to facilitate online donations and payment processing. Credit card and other payment account information is submitted through third-party payment processing systems. Hands and Feet Global does not directly collect or store complete credit card numbers, card security codes, or banking credentials through its website. We may retain donation-related records, including donor contact information, contribution amounts, transaction dates, and payment confirmations, for accounting, donor acknowledgment, tax reporting, and administrative purposes. Payment processing providers maintain their own security practices and privacy policies.

We use personal information for legitimate organizational purposes, including:

  • Processing and acknowledging donations

  • Providing charitable contribution receipts

  • Maintaining donor records

  • Sending ministry updates, newsletters, and fundraising communications

  • Responding to inquiries and requests

  • Managing volunteer and supporter relationships

  • Maintaining financial and organizational records

  • Improving website functionality and communications

  • Complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations

We use personal information only for purposes related to our nonprofit operations and other purposes disclosed when information is collected.

5. Information Sharing:

Hands and Feet Global does not sell donor or supporter contact information. We may share information with trusted third-party service providers as reasonably necessary to operate our organization, including but not limited to:

  • DonorPerfect: Donor management and contribution records

6. Email Communications:

Hands and Feet Global uses Constant Contact to distribute ministry updates, newsletters, fundraising appeals, and other organizational communications. Individuals receiving marketing or fundraising emails may unsubscribe at any time by selecting the unsubscribe link included in those messages. Unsubscribing from promotional communications does not necessarily prevent the delivery of donation receipts, transaction confirmations, or other necessary administrative communications.

7. Cookies and Website Tracking:

Hands and Feet Global does not use Google Analytics, Facebook/Meta Pixel, or similar advertising tracking technologies on its website. Our website and third-party service providers may use essential cookies or similar technologies necessary for website functionality, security, and donation processing. These technologies may collect limited technical information, such as IP addresses, browser types, and device information. Visitors may manage cookies through their browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality. We do not independently track visitors’ browsing activities across unrelated websites for advertising purposes. Third-party services may have their own data collection practices, as described in their respective privacy policies.

8. Information Security:

Hands and Feet Global takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to safeguard personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Access to donor and supporter information is limited to authorized individuals and service providers who require the information for legitimate organizational purposes. Financial payment information is processed through third-party payment providers rather than being stored directly by Hands and Feet Global. Although we take reasonable precautions, no electronic storage or transmission system can be guaranteed completely secure.

9. Information Retention:

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including donor relations, accounting, tax reporting, legal compliance, and organizational recordkeeping. Certain donation and financial records may be retained for longer periods where required by law or legitimate recordkeeping obligations.

10. Accessing or Correcting Personal Information:

Donors and supporters may contact Hands and Feet Global to request updates or corrections to their contact information or communication preferences. Requests to remove information will be evaluated in accordance with applicable legal, financial reporting, and record retention obligations. We may need to verify a requester’s identity before making changes to personal records.

11. Children’s Privacy:

Our website is not intended to collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our website without appropriate parental consent. If we become aware that such information has been collected improperly, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation.

12. External Websites:

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, donation platforms, or other external resources. Hands and Feet Global is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of independently operated third-party websites. Visitors are encouraged to review the privacy policies of those services.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy:

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our operations, technology, service providers, or applicable laws. Material changes will be communicated by posting an updated policy on our website and revising the effective date. Where appropriate, we may provide additional notice through our website or email communications.
