Privacy policy

We collect the minimum data needed to operate a community nonprofit directory. This includes:

Account information

• Name and email address when you create an account
• Password (stored securely using one-way hashing)
• Account role (resident, organization admin, platform admin)

Organization profiles

• Organization name, mission, categories, and service areas
• Contact information (address, phone, email, website)
• Hours of operation and program details
• Images and logos uploaded by verified admins

Community content

• Posts, comments, and replies in community conversations
• Event submissions and spotlight content
• Reports and flags submitted to our moderation team

Technical data

• Browser type, device information, and IP address (collected automatically for security and analytics)
• Pages visited and interactions within the platform

We use the data we collect to:

• Operate and improve the nonprofit directory and community features
• Display organization profiles publicly in the directory
• Authenticate users and manage account access
• Process organization claims and admin verification
• Moderate community content and enforce our guidelines
• Send important account-related notifications (e.g., claim approvals, guideline violations)
• Analyze aggregate usage patterns to improve the platform

We do not sell your data. We do not share personal information with advertisers or data brokers.

Organization profiles are public. Information submitted to an organization profile — including name, mission, contact details, and images — is displayed publicly in the directory. This is the core purpose of the platform.

Community content is visible to other users. Posts, comments, and event listings are visible to anyone browsing the platform.

We may share data with service providers who help us operate the platform (e.g., hosting, email delivery) under strict data protection agreements. We may also disclose data if required by law.

We use minimal, session-based cookies to keep you signed in and to protect against cross-site request forgery. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising pixels.

If we introduce analytics in the future, we will update this policy and provide appropriate notice.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate information in your account or organization profile
• Delete your account and associated personal data (organization profiles may be retained in anonymized form to preserve directory integrity)
• Export your data in a portable format upon request

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below. We will respond within 30 days.

We retain account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it by law or to maintain the integrity of organization profiles in the directory.
