PRIVACY POLICY | The Growth And Prosperity

Your privacy is paramount to us. This Privacy Policy details how The Growth And Prosperity Foundation ("we," "our," or "us") diligently collects, uses, and safeguards your Personal Information when you visit or interact with www.gapusa.org (the "Site"). We are committed to transparency in our data practices, ensuring you feel confident and secure in your engagement with us.

1. Information We Collect

When you visit our Site, we automatically collect certain non-identifiable information about your device to ensure optimal functionality and to understand Browse patterns. This includes your web browser, IP address, time zone, and information about the cookies installed on your device. As you browse, we also gather data about the web pages or content you view, referral sources, and Site interaction. This automatically-collected data, referred to as "Device Information," is primarily used for anonymous analytics to enhance your experience.

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

Cookies: Small data files placed on your device or computer, often including an anonymous unique identifier. They help the Site remember your preferences and improve navigation. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

Log Files: These track actions occurring on the Site and collect data such as your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

Web Beacons, Tags, and Pixels: Electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site, assisting with analytics and operational efficiency.

Additionally, when you voluntarily choose to make a donation or purchase through our Site, we collect necessary information from you to process your transaction securely. This "Order Information" includes your name, billing address, shipping address (if applicable), contact details (email address, phone number), and payment information (e.g., credit card details).

When we refer to "Personal Information" in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to both Device Information and Order Information.

2. How We Use Your Personal Information

We use the Order Information we collect solely to fulfill your donations or orders, including securely processing payments, arranging shipping (if applicable), and providing essential confirmations and receipts. Your identifiable information is used strictly for the purpose you provided it.

Device Information helps us maintain the security and integrity of our Site by screening for potential risks and fraud (such as your IP address). More broadly, it allows us to analyze Site performance and visitor behavior anonymously to continuously improve your Browse experience and the effectiveness of our outreach.

3. Sharing Your Personal Information

Your trust is paramount. We are deeply committed to protecting your Personal Information and upholding your privacy. We only share your Personal Information with trusted third parties strictly as necessary to facilitate our services and fulfill the purposes outlined above. For instance:

We use secure, reputable third-party payment processors to handle donations and purchases. Your sensitive payment information is securely transmitted directly to these processors; we do not store your full credit card details on our servers.

We utilize analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) to help us understand how our visitors use the Site. This data is often aggregated and anonymized. You can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Beyond these operational needs, we may share your Personal Information only when compelled to do so by law (e.g., responding to a valid subpoena or search warrant), or to safeguard our rights and operations.

We respect your control over your data; you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data, subject to legal requirements.

6. Security

We employ robust technical and organizational security measures to protect your Personal Information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
