Caring Hearts of Chesapeake Harbour (“Caring Hearts,” “we,” “us” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit caringheartschesapeake.org, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our website, you agree to this policy.
 

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you donate, subscribe to our email updates, sign up to volunteer, contact us or register for an event, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any message you send.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, ours collects some information automatically through cookies and similar tools, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you use the site. Our site is hosted on Wix, which sets cookies needed to run the site and to provide basic analytics.

 

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to process donations and send receipts, respond to your questions, coordinate volunteering and events, send updates or newsletters if you have asked to receive them, keep the site working and secure, and meet our legal and reporting obligations. We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

 

How we share information

We do not buy, sell, rent or trade personal information or contact lists. We share personal information only with service providers who help us operate, such as our website host (Wix), our payment processors (for example PayPal, Venmo or a similar provider) and email tools we use to communicate with supporters. These providers may use your information only to perform services for us. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety or property of Caring Hearts or others.
 

Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them to keep the site functioning and to understand how visitors use it so we can improve it. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent, though some parts of the site may not work properly without them. If you subscribe to our updates, the email service we use may tell us whether a message was opened and whether links in it were clicked. We use that only to understand what supporters find useful. You can limit it by blocking images in your email program, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

​

Third-party links

Our site may link to other websites, such as a payment page or a partner organization. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their policies.
 

Data security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
 

Children’s privacy

Our website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this site. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us, and we will delete it.
 

Your choices

You may unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any message. You may also ask us to review, update or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us at the address below. We will respond within a reasonable time.
