Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

• Information you provide: your name, email address, and any message you send us when you donate, sign up to be notified about crypto giving, apply for funding, or contact us at [email protected].
• Donation information: when you give, our payment processor collects your payment details and transaction information. We receive a record of your donation (such as amount, date, and your name and email) but we do not store full payment card numbers.
• Automatically collected information: basic technical data such as your device type, browser, and general usage of the site, collected through standard web analytics.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Process and acknowledge your donation and issue tax receipts.
• Respond to your messages and funding applications.
• Notify you about features you asked about, such as crypto giving.
• Understand and improve how the site is used.
• Comply with legal, tax, and reporting obligations.

Payment Processing

Donations are processed by our third-party payment partner, Crowded. When you donate, your payment information is handled by Crowded under its own privacy policy and security practices. We encourage you to review Crowded's privacy policy. WYDE Foundation does not receive or store your full card or bank account numbers.

How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share information only:

• With service providers who help us operate the site and process donations (such as our payment processor and analytics provider), bound to protect your information.
• When required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect our rights, safety, or the integrity of the Foundation.
• In connection with a merger, reorganization, or transfer of the organization, where information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and measure usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

Data Retention

We keep donation and contact records as long as needed to fulfill the purposes in this policy and to meet tax, accounting, and legal requirements, then delete or anonymize them.

Your Choices and Rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or unsubscribe from our emails, by contacting [email protected]. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. We will respond consistent with those laws.

Children's Privacy

The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

Our site may link to other sites, including wyde.org and our payment processor. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version here with a new "Last updated" date.
