Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 17, 2026

Friendship Manor Foundation (“Foundation,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of visitors, supporters, and donors who use the Foundation website. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and shared through the Foundation website.

Information You Provide

You may voluntarily provide information when you contact the Foundation, request information, communicate with us, participate in fundraising activities, or make a donation.

Information provided directly to the Foundation may include your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, the content of your message, donation-related information, and other information you choose to provide.

Donations, Fundraising, and Zeffy

The Friendship Manor Foundation uses Zeffy, a third-party fundraising platform, to facilitate online donations and fundraising activities.

When you make a donation or participate in a fundraising activity through Zeffy, you may be asked to provide personal and payment information directly through the Zeffy platform. Information submitted directly through Zeffy is subject to Zeffy's applicable Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, and other policies.

The Foundation may receive information associated with your donation or fundraising activity, such as your name, contact information, donation amount, donation date, designation or purpose, transaction status, and other information you choose to provide.

Payment-card, bank-account, and other payment information entered directly through Zeffy is processed through the Zeffy platform and is not collected directly through a general form on the Friendship Manor Foundation website.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Foundation website, our website platform, hosting providers, and other service providers may automatically collect certain technical and usage information.

This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser and device information, operating system, referring website, pages visited, approximate location derived from your IP address, and the date and time of website activity.

The website may also use cookies or similar technologies for website functionality, security, analytics, and performance.

How We Use Information

The Foundation may use information collected through the website to:

Process, administer, and acknowledge donations and fundraising activities;
Provide donation records or receipts;
Respond to inquiries and requests;
Communicate with donors, supporters, and other visitors;
Administer Foundation programs and activities;
Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;

Sharing of Information

The Foundation may share information with Friendship Manor, authorized administrative providers, website service providers, Zeffy, accounting providers, and other parties when reasonably necessary to administer Foundation operations and activities.

We may also disclose information when required or permitted by law, legal process, or governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the Foundation, website users, or others.

We do not intend to sell personal information collected through general website inquiries or Foundation donation activities.

Cookies and Website Analytics

The Foundation website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, analyze website usage, maintain security, and improve performance.

Your browser may allow you to restrict or delete cookies. Certain website functions may not operate as intended if cookies are disabled.

Third-Party Websites and Services

The Foundation website may contain links to or integrations with independently operated third-party services, including Zeffy.

When you access Zeffy or another third-party service, information you provide directly to that service is governed by the third party's applicable privacy policy and terms.

The Foundation does not control the privacy, security, or data-handling practices of independently operated third-party platforms.

Information Security

The Foundation and its service providers use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to safeguard information.

However, no method of Internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Data Retention

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to administer Foundation activities, respond to requests, maintain donor and financial records, satisfy accounting requirements, and comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

Children's Privacy

The Foundation website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. The Foundation does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13 through the website.

Your Information

You may contact the Foundation if you would like to ask about, correct, or update personal information you previously provided directly to the Foundation.

Requests concerning information submitted directly through Zeffy may also be subject to Zeffy's applicable processes and policies.
