Privacy Policy

INTRODUCTION

This Privacy Policy explains how Landmark Community Foundation ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, protects, and handles personal information when you visit our website, contact us, register for programs, make a donation or payment, participate in our services, or communicate with us through SMS.

We are committed to protecting personal information and maintaining transparency about how information is handled.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, information submitted through website forms, program registration information, communications you send to us, donation or transaction information, and other information you voluntarily provide.

When you participate in SMS communications, we may collect your phone number, name if voluntarily provided or associated with your phone number, message content, opt-in and opt-out status, and the date and time of messages.

HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use personal information to respond to inquiries, administer programs and services, communicate with participants, provide customer support, process registrations and donations, process payments, and maintain records.

We may also use it to communicate about programs or events for which you have requested information, manage SMS preferences, protect the security of our website and organization, and fulfill other purposes disclosed when information is collected.

PAYMENT INFORMATION

When you make a donation or pay for a fee-based program or service, payment information may be processed through a third-party payment processor.

Landmark Community Foundation does not need to retain complete payment-card information when payment processing is handled by the applicable payment provider.

Payment information may be handled according to the payment processor's applicable privacy policy and security practices.

DATA SECURITY

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No method of transmitting or storing information can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information.

INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN

Our website and programs are not knowingly designed to collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If we learn that personal information has been collected in a manner that requires removal or other action under applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation.

THIRD-PARTY RESOURCES

Our website may contain information about or links to third-party organizations, employers, housing providers, lenders, educational institutions, financial institutions, community organizations, payment processors, or other resources.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security practices, content, or policies of third-party organizations.

Users should review the privacy policies of third parties before providing them with personal information.

COOKIES AND WEBSITE TECHNOLOGIES

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies that support website functionality, security, analytics, preferences, or other website operations.

The specific technologies used may change as the website develops. You may be able to manage certain cookie settings through your browser or device settings.
