About this Privacy Policy
North Georgia Children’s Relief Foundation, Inc. (“NGACRF,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the privacy of visitors to our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use our website, how that information may be used, and how we work to protect it. By using our website, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.
Information we collect and how we use it
NGACRF may collect information that you voluntarily provide through our website, such as your name, email address, telephone number, newsletter subscription preference, or information included in a message sent through our Contact page. We use this information to respond to inquiries, provide requested information, communicate with supporters and community partners, and carry out the work of the Foundation.
Our Resource Finder allows visitors to search for community services by category, ZIP code, or by describing their needs in their own words. The Resource Finder uses automated technology to help interpret these searches and identify potentially relevant resources. Visitors should not enter confidential or highly sensitive personal information, such as Social Security numbers, payment information, medical records, passwords, or a child’s full name, into the Resource Finder.
Website services, donations and information sharing
Our website is built and hosted using Wix and may use cookies and similar technologies necessary to operate the website, maintain security, and understand general website usage. Information may also be processed by technology providers that help us operate website features. NGACRF does not sell or rent personal information collected through its website.
Online donation links on our website direct visitors to a third-party payment provider to complete their donation. NGACRF does not collect or store full credit or debit card information through the NGACRF website. Information provided directly to a third-party website is subject to that provider’s own privacy and security practices.
Children’s privacy and third-party resources
NGACRF’s mission focuses on helping children and families, but our website is intended primarily for adults, including parents, guardians, caregivers, educators, community partners, donors, volunteers, and other professionals. The website is not intended to solicit personal information directly from children under 13. Children under 13 should not submit personal information through the website without the involvement of a parent, guardian, caregiver, or other trusted adult.
The NGACRF website and Resource Finder may include links to community organizations and other third-party websites. These websites operate independently of NGACRF, and their own privacy practices apply once you leave our website.
Your privacy choices
You may contact NGACRF if you have questions about how information submitted through our website is handled, wish to correct information you previously provided, request removal from Foundation email communications, or request deletion of information where appropriate. Certain information may need to be retained for legitimate legal, financial, accounting, or organizational purposes.
We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, services, or practices change. The date below indicates when this policy was most recently updated.
