This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your information.

By using our Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our Site.

## Online Donations

Donations made through our Site are processed by a third-party payment processor. We do not store your full credit card or payment account information on our own servers.

We do not sell or trade donor information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

## Email Newsletter and Mailing List

If you subscribe to our email newsletter or mailing list, we will use your email address to send you updates about our programs, events, and community wellness initiatives. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link included in every email we send, or by contacting us directly using the information below.

## Cookies and Analytics

Our Site may use cookies and third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to help us understand how visitors use our Site and to improve the Site's content and functionality. These tools may collect information such as pages viewed, time spent on the Site, and general location data. This information is generally collected in aggregate and is not used to personally identify you.

You can control or disable cookies through your web browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of our Site.

## How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

- Process and acknowledge donations
- Send newsletters, program updates, and communications you have requested
- Respond to inquiries and provide requested accommodations
- Improve our Site, programs, and services
- Comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations
- Communicate about volunteer opportunities, events, and community initiatives

## How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share information with:

- Service providers who help us operate the Site, process donations, or distribute communications (such as payment processors and email service providers), who are only permitted to use your information to provide these services to us
- Government agencies or authorities when required by law
- Successor organizations in the event of a merger, reorganization, or transfer of KWC's operations

## Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the personal information you provide to us. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

## Your Choices

You may:

- Unsubscribe from our email communications at any time
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us
- Decline to provide certain information, though this may limit your ability to use some features of our Site (such as making a donation or subscribing to updates)

## Children's Privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.

## Accessibility

KWC is committed to ensuring our website and programs are accessible to everyone. If you have a disability and need an accommodation to participate in our services or access our information, please contact us at info@ketchikanwellness.org.

## Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
