DNPN Corporation, a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation ("DNPN"), is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or make a donation.
CONTENTS
We collect information you provide directly to us, as well as information collected automatically when you use the Site. Information you provide may include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and payment details when you make a donation, sign up to volunteer, or contact us. Information collected automatically includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. We may also collect information through cookies and similar tracking technologies as described in our Cookie Policy.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Site and to understand how visitors interact with it. This includes strictly necessary cookies required for payment processing (Stripe), analytics cookies (Google Analytics), marketing cookies (Meta Pixel), and media cookies set by embedded YouTube videos and Google Maps. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by visiting our Cookie Policy page. By continuing to use the Site without adjusting your settings, you consent to our use of cookies as described.
We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated, anonymized information about how visitors use the Site, including which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors stay, and what referral sources drive traffic. This data helps us improve our content and outreach. Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC and is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, or by managing your cookie preferences on our Cookie Policy page.
When you make a donation, we collect your name, email address, donation amount, and payment information. Payment transactions are processed securely by Stripe, Inc. DNPN does not store your full credit card number or payment credentials on our servers — this information is handled directly by Stripe and is subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy (stripe.com/privacy). We use donor information to process your donation, send tax receipts and acknowledgment emails, report on organizational impact, and, with your consent, to send future fundraising communications. We do not sell, rent, or trade donor information to third parties. Donor records are retained for a minimum of seven (7) years to comply with IRS non-profit recordkeeping requirements.
If you apply to volunteer with DNPN, we collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, availability, skills, and relevant background information provided in your application. This information is used solely to coordinate volunteer activities, communicate deployment opportunities, and maintain organizational records. Volunteer information is shared only with relevant DNPN staff and team coordinators on a need-to-know basis. We retain volunteer records for the duration of your engagement with DNPN and for a reasonable period thereafter.
Your information is stored on secure servers operated by Base44, Inc., our technology platform provider, and by Stripe, Inc. for payment data. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Access to personal data within DNPN is limited to staff and volunteers who require it to perform their duties.
We use the following third-party services that may collect or process your personal data in connection with your use of the Site: (a) Stripe, Inc. — payment processing (stripe.com/privacy); (b) Google LLC — analytics via Google Analytics and mapping via Google Maps (policies.google.com/privacy); (c) Meta Platforms, Inc. — advertising measurement via Meta Pixel (facebook.com/privacy/policy); (d) YouTube (Google LLC) — embedded video content; (e) Base44, Inc. — application hosting and data storage. Each of these services is governed by its own privacy policy. DNPN is not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies directly.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information: (a) Access — the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you; (b) Correction — the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data; (c) Deletion — the right to request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations; (d) Opt-out — the right to opt out of marketing communications at any time by clicking "unsubscribe" in any email we send or by contacting us directly; (e) Data portability — the right to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format where technically feasible. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at help@dnpn.org. We will respond to verified requests within 30 days.
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at help@dnpn.org and we will take prompt steps to delete such information. If you are between 13 and 18 years of age, please obtain consent from a parent or guardian before submitting any personal information through this Site.
