UNITED TO HELP FOUNDATION

Effective Date: April 24, 2026 |  Last Updated: April 29,2026

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This Privacy Policy is intentionally broad and protective. It is designed for a donation-ready foundation website that may collect donor information, process payments, accept cryptocurrency, publish stories/media, use analytics, and work with vendors, partners, volunteers, beneficiaries, and high-discretion donors.

UNITED TO HELP FOUNDATION (“Foundation,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “United”) respects privacy and is committed to protecting the information, dignity, safety, and trust of every person who interacts with our website, donation portals, communications, programs, volunteer efforts, events, applications, forms, and related digital or offline services (collectively, the “Services”).

This Privacy Policy explains how we may collect, use, maintain, process, disclose, retain, and protect information. By accessing or using the Services, submitting information, making a donation, participating in a program, communicating with us, or providing content, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy applies to website visitors, donors, prospective donors, “quiet partners,” volunteers, applicants, beneficiaries, story contributors, media participants, vendors, contractors, partners, affiliates, and any other person or organization interacting with the Services.

This Policy applies to information collected online and, where applicable, information collected offline that is connected to the Services or Foundation operations.

We may collect information directly from you, automatically through technology, from third-party platforms, from donation processors, from public sources, or from other lawful sources. Information may include personal identifiers, contact details, donation details, transaction records, communications, technical data, and voluntarily submitted sensitive information.

• Name, email address, phone number, mailing address, city, state, country, and preferred contact method.

• Organization, title, affiliation, or representative capacity when provided.

• Donation amount, frequency, date, campaign designation, donor notes, receipt information, and transaction history.

• Limited billing information processed through third-party payment processors such as Stripe, PayPal, banking platforms, donor-management tools, or other payment vendors.

• We do not intentionally store full credit card numbers or complete payment credentials unless expressly necessary and legally permitted.

• Wallet addresses, transaction hashes, network data, ledger confirmations, donation values, timestamps, and publicly viewable blockchain records.

• Cryptocurrency transactions may be irreversible, public, permanent, and outside our control once transmitted on a blockchain or distributed ledger.

• Personal stories, hardship information, health-related facts, family circumstances, financial hardship, displacement, injury, photos, videos, testimonials, and other information submitted voluntarily.

• You should not submit sensitive information unless you understand and accept the risks associated with submission, storage, review, and possible publication if consented to.

• IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, approximate location derived from IP address, access times, clickstream data, cookies, pixels, analytics identifiers, and interaction data.

We may use information for any lawful, mission-aligned, operational, administrative, charitable, security, compliance, fundraising, communication, donor stewardship, program, or recordkeeping purpose, including processing donations, issuing receipts, communicating with supporters, preventing fraud, improving the website, managing programs, reviewing applications, publishing approved stories, coordinating volunteers, protecting the Foundation, complying with laws, responding to legal requests, and enforcing our rights.

Donations may be processed by third-party processors. Those providers maintain their own privacy, security, refund, tax, and compliance practices. We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, outages, breaches, delays, errors, or policies of third-party processors. Donors are responsible for providing accurate information and consulting their own tax, legal, and financial advisors.

If cryptocurrency donations are accepted, you acknowledge that blockchain transactions may be irreversible, may not be capable of refund, may be publicly visible, may fluctuate in value, and may create tax or reporting obligations for the donor. The Foundation does not provide investment, tax, accounting, or financial advice. Cryptocurrency donations may be subject to additional verification, screening, compliance review, or rejection.

If you submit a story, testimonial, photograph, video, audio recording, name, likeness, quote, statement, or other content, you represent that you have the right to submit it and that it does not violate another person’s rights. Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, you grant the Foundation a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, publish, display, edit, adapt, translate, archive, distribute, and promote the content in connection with the Foundation’s mission, website, fundraising, reports, campaigns, social media, donor communications, and public outreach.

We respect donors and partners who request discretion. However, no system can guarantee absolute anonymity. Certain information may be required for legal, tax, banking, anti-fraud, anti-money-laundering, sanctions-screening, audit, internal governance, or reporting purposes. We may disclose information when legally required or when reasonably necessary to protect the Foundation, donors, beneficiaries, or the public.

We may use cookies, pixels, tags, analytics tools, session tools, ad measurement tools, and similar technologies to operate the website, measure engagement, understand visitor behavior, improve campaigns, enhance security, and evaluate outreach. You may disable certain technologies through browser or device settings, but some Services may not function properly.

We may share information with service providers, payment processors, hosting providers, analytics providers, email and CRM providers, legal or accounting professionals, auditors, contractors, consultants, partners, government agencies, law enforcement, courts, regulators, or other parties when lawful and reasonably necessary. We may also disclose information to prevent fraud, respond to threats, protect rights, enforce policies, investigate misuse, comply with legal obligations, or support organizational restructuring or expansion.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for operational, legal, tax, audit, donation, donor-relations, program, historical, dispute-resolution, compliance, or mission purposes. Some records may be retained indefinitely where legally permitted or reasonably necessary. Deletion requests may be limited by legal, financial, tax, archival, security, or evidentiary obligations.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no website, network, storage system, email system, payment platform, blockchain, or transmission method is completely secure. We cannot and do not guarantee absolute security, confidentiality, uninterrupted access, or immunity from unauthorized access, cyberattack, human error, third-party breach, or technical failure.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent. Requests must be submitted in writing. We may verify identity, reject unlawful or abusive requests, preserve information required for legal reasons, and respond within the time required by applicable law.

The Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate consent. If we learn that such information has been collected improperly, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or obtain appropriate consent as required by law.

The Services may link to third-party websites, donation processors, social media platforms, embedded tools, payment portals, or partner pages. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, privacy practices, security practices, terms, outages, errors, or misuse of information.

Information may be stored, processed, or transferred in the United States or other jurisdictions. By using the Services, you consent to transfer, processing, and storage in jurisdictions that may have different privacy laws than your location.

Although we make reasonable efforts to protect information, we do not guarantee absolute confidentiality. Any information submitted through websites, forms, email, messaging, third-party processors, or blockchain networks may carry risk. You submit information at your own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Foundation, its officers, directors, employees, volunteers, contractors, representatives, affiliates, donors, partners, and service providers are not liable for unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, interruption, delay, cyberattack, payment-processor error, blockchain failure, third-party breach, or any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or similar damages arising from or related to the Services or information handling.

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Updates are effective when posted unless otherwise stated. Continued use of the Services after posting means you accept the updated Policy.

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where federal law or mandatory local law provides otherwise.
