Website Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 18, 2026
On this page
Mendrix Healthcare Foundation respects the privacy of donors, website visitors, volunteers, program participants, and members of the public who interact with us. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we may collect through our website, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
Information We May Collect
We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing or billing information, donation amount, donation frequency, communication preferences, and information submitted through forms or correspondence. Payment card information is processed by our third-party payment processor and is not intended to be stored by the Foundation's website.
How We Use Information
We may use information to process and acknowledge donations, communicate with donors, administer recurring gifts, respond to inquiries, provide program or organizational updates when permitted, maintain financial and donor records, meet legal and regulatory obligations, prevent fraud, protect our systems, and improve our website and donor experience.
Payment Processing
Online donations are processed through Stripe or another payment service provider selected by the Foundation. Those providers may collect and process payment and device information under their own privacy and security practices.
Donor Communications
Donors may choose whether to receive general Foundation updates. Transactional communications relating to donations, receipts, account security, or recurring gift administration may still be sent when necessary.
Information Sharing
The Foundation does not sell donor personal information. We may share information with service providers that support payment processing, accounting, website operations, communications, security, analytics, legal compliance, or other legitimate Foundation functions, subject to appropriate contractual and confidentiality protections where applicable.
Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including accounting, tax, donor stewardship, legal, regulatory, security, and recordkeeping obligations.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information in our possession. No website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Cookies and Analytics
The website may use cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies to support site functionality, understand website usage, and improve user experience. The Foundation should configure any analytics or advertising technologies consistently with applicable privacy requirements and its actual practices.
Children's Privacy
The public donation pages are not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate consent. If the Foundation operates youth programs, separate program-specific privacy and consent practices should be used as appropriate.
Your Choices
You may contact the Foundation to update certain information, change communication preferences, or ask questions about how your information is handled. Rights may vary depending on applicable law and your location.
Policy Changes
The Foundation may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date should be revised when material changes are published.
