Privacy Policy

Information you provide directly

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:

• your name
• email address
• organization or company name
• information submitted through contact, early-access, partnership, investor or similar forms or emails
• messages, questions, feedback or other information you choose to provide

We ask that you not submit sensitive personal or financial information through general website forms or email.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our hosting, infrastructure and security providers, including:

• IP address
• browser type
• device type
• operating system
• referring website
• pages viewed
• approximate location derived from IP address
• timestamps
• basic website interaction and performance information

The website does not currently use third-party analytics, advertising or behavioral tracking tools.

We may use information collected through the website to:

• operate and improve the website
• respond to inquiries
• manage early-access interest
• communicate with potential users
• communicate with nonprofit organizations
• communicate with investors, partners or other business contacts
• evaluate product interest and website usage
• conduct user research and product testing
• maintain website security
• detect abuse, fraud or technical problems
• comply with applicable legal obligations
• prepare donate.com for future launch

We will not use contact information for unrelated purposes without an appropriate basis.

donate.com is currently a pre-launch platform.

The website does not currently process live charitable donations, store donor payment credentials or provide operational nonprofit settlement services.

If donate.com later introduces accounts, donation processing, payment services, nonprofit onboarding, rewards, memberships or other material functionality, this Privacy Policy will be updated before or as those services become available.

The current website does not collect or process payment-card or bank-account information for charitable donations.

In the future, payments may be processed through third-party payment providers such as Stripe. When payment functionality is introduced, relevant payment information may be handled directly by the applicable payment provider under its own privacy and security practices.

The website may use strictly necessary technologies required for hosting, security, performance and basic functionality.

The website does not currently use advertising cookies, behavioral tracking or third-party analytics.

If non-essential tracking technologies are introduced in the future, donate.com will implement appropriate disclosures and consent mechanisms where required.

We may use third-party service providers to support the website and our operations, including services relating to:

• website hosting
• website development
• cloud infrastructure
• email
• analytics
• security
• form processing
• communications
• business software

These providers may process information only as necessary to provide services to us and subject to their applicable terms and privacy practices.

donate.com does not sell personal information collected through the current pre-launch website.

We also do not currently use personal information collected through the website for third-party behavioral advertising. If these practices materially change, this Privacy Policy will be updated.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, conducting product research, preparing for launch, maintaining security and complying with legal obligations.

Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted or anonymized.

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information associated with the website.

However, no website, internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please avoid sending highly sensitive information through ordinary website forms or email.

You may contact us to:

• ask what personal information you previously submitted to us
• request correction of information
• request deletion of information
• withdraw from early-access or marketing communications
• ask questions about our privacy practices

Certain requests may be subject to legal, security, recordkeeping or technical limitations.

If you sign up for early access or otherwise request updates, we may send communications relating to donate.com.

You may unsubscribe from non-essential marketing communications using an unsubscribe mechanism where provided or by contacting us. Administrative responses to communications you initiate may still be sent when necessary.

The website is not intended to collect personal information from children under 13.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected through the website without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. Future donation functionality may have separate age requirements.

The platform is being developed initially for the United States, although the website may be accessed internationally.

Information submitted through the website may be processed or stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. Future international expansion may require additional privacy disclosures or regional policies.

The website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. donate.com is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, accuracy or content of third-party websites. Please review the policies of those websites independently.

We may update this Privacy Policy as donate.com develops. Material changes may be reflected by updating the effective date or providing another appropriate notice.

Because the platform is currently pre-launch, you should expect this policy to evolve as accounts, donation processing, partnerships and other functionality are introduced.
