• Usage data: pages/screens viewed, duration of time on a page/screen, navigation paths, access times.
• Cookies and similar technologies:
  • We use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and SDKs in mobile applications to identify your browser or device, store preferences, help you navigate the site, analyze activity and patterns, and (where applicable) display relevant advertising.
  • For example, we may use third-party analytics (such as Google Analytics) and advertising services to analyze user activity and serve ads.
  • You can manage or disable cookies via your browser settings, though disabling may limit certain functionality of the Service.

• Send you communications related to TNLF’s programs, events, fundraising campaigns, volunteer opportunities, and publications — as permitted by law.
• You will have the opportunity to opt out of marketing communications (see “Your Choices” below).

How We Share Your Personal Information

We may share your personal information with the following categories of recipients (and any others described at the time of collection):

• Service providers: companies or individuals that provide services on our behalf or help operate our programs or the Service (e.g., IT hosting, CRM, analytics, payment processing, email communications).
• Professional advisors: such as lawyers, auditors, banks, insurers, where required in the course of providing professional services.
• Authorities and others: law enforcement, government regulators, or private parties when we believe in good faith the disclosure is required to protect rights, comply with legal process, or respond to legal claims.
• Business transferees: in connection with a merger, acquisition, divestiture, reorganization, sale of assets or equity interests, bankruptcy, or similar proceedings involving TNLF or its affiliates.
• Public disclosures: We may publish names, program participant profiles, or donor recognition on our website or in print materials, with appropriate permissions and in accordance with applicable laws.
• Any other sharing as described at the time of collection or with your consent.

Your Choices

You have certain choices regarding how we handle your personal information:

Opt-out of marketing communications.
You may unsubscribe from marketing-related emails by following the “unsubscribe” link included in each email or by contacting us via the information below. Note: you will still receive service-related or administrative messages (e.g., program updates, donation confirmations) even after opting out of marketing.

Cookies.
Most web browsers allow you to stop accepting or delete cookies. If you disable cookies, your browser may not accept them by default, and some features of the Service may not work properly. For more information about cookies, you can visit resources such as www.allaboutcookies.org.

Do Not Track.
Some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals; however, we do not currently respond to such signals.

Declining to provide information.
If you choose not to provide certain personal information, we may be unable to offer or administer specific programs, process your donation, or fulfill your request.

Other Sites and Services

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites, mobile applications, or other online services not owned or operated by TNLF. We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their privacy practices or data handling. If you follow a link to a third-party site, we encourage you to review its privacy policy separately.

Security

We employ administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. You share personal information with us at your own risk.

International Data Transfer

We are headquartered in the United States and may use service providers located in the U.S. or other countries. Your personal information may be transferred internationally, including to jurisdictions with privacy laws that differ or offer less protection than those in your local area.

Children

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without consent from a parent or guardian where required by law. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under the age of 13, please contact us so we can delete that information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this policy and post the revised version on the Service. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any modifications indicates your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
