Privacy Policy

Add your privacy policy here


Clearly communicate what data you collect, why you collect it, and how you protect it. A good policy is transparent, jargon-free, and legally compliant.

Check out the ideas and resources below:

Draft your policy by answering these four foundational questions about your data lifecycle.

1. What do we collect? List the specific information you gather (e.g., "names and email addresses for newsletters," "cookies for site analytics," or "payment info for donations").

2. How do we use it? Explain the purpose. Are you using it to send updates, process tax receipts, or improve website performance?

3. Who do we share it with? Be honest. Do you use third-party tools like Mailchimp or Stripe? Crucial: Explicitly state that you do not sell or rent donor lists to third parties.

4. What are their rights? Tell the user how they can opt-out, view their data, or ask for it to be deleted.
