We may also collect limited technical information when you browse our public website, such as browser type, general device information, and page views, to understand site usage and improve our services.
How we use information

Text messaging (SMS)
If you choose to communicate with us by text message, we may send direct, conversational replies related to your inquiry, such as follow-up questions, receipt confirmations, or status updates about foundation programs you contacted us about.
We send text messages only to individuals who have opted in by initiating contact with us after receiving our text-enabled contact information through direct, private communication (for example staff email, event materials, partner referral, or a one-on-one request). We do not publish our SMS number on this website to reduce unsolicited contact.

How we share information
We share personal information only when necessary to operate the Foundation, such as with payment processors for donations, email delivery providers, technology vendors that host or support our systems, or when required by law. These providers are permitted to use the information only to perform services for us.
We do not sell personal information.
Data retention
We retain information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, meet legal and tax obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Security
