Cookies & Tracking Technologies 

Our Website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyze traffic patterns. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being used.

​

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

We may receive your information from other individuals who interact with us. For example, we may receive your contact information from one of our donors who thinks you might also be interested in our Services or supporting our mission on Social Media. When an individual interacts with our Services through various social media networks, for example on Youtube and Instagram, or other social networks, we may receive some information about individuals that they permit the social network to share with third parties. The data we receive is dependent upon an individual’s privacy settings with the social network.  We may also receive your information from our community partners, such as organizations or entities that align with our mission and vision, that may partner with us to offer products and/or services or run specific campaigns.

​

We may additionally engage in interest based advertising, as targeted advertisements help us reach people who are most likely to take action or have interest in our Services, Fundraising, or mission. In doing so, we may share your personal information with third-party advertisers to serve targeted advertisements to specific individuals, or to display ads to people who are similar to individuals who have engaged with us. These practices help us engage in effective advocacy, fundraising, and education.
