Protecting Your Privacy, Protecting Our Community

At the Foundation Against Crime Victim Exploitation in Social Media Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “the Foundation”), your privacy is of paramount importance. We are committed to safeguarding the personal information of all visitors, participants, families, volunteers, donors, and partners who interact with our website, programs, or services. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how it is used, and the steps we take to ensure that your information remains secure. By engaging with our website, services, or programs, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

We collect personal information in a variety of ways, depending on your interaction with our organization. Information may be collected when you register for programs or workshops, sign up for newsletters or email updates, make donations or financial contributions, volunteer with our organization, contact us via email, phone, or online forms, or participate in surveys or evaluations.

The types of information we may collect include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, payment information, and other relevant details required to provide our services effectively. For program participants, additional information such as age, school, and emergency contacts may also be collected to ensure safety and compliance with program requirements.

We may also collect non-personal information automatically through our website, such as IP addresses, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and time spent on our website. This information helps us understand usage patterns, improve website functionality, and enhance user experience.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used exclusively to provide, maintain, and improve our programs, services, and website. Specifically, we may use your information to register participants and facilitate program enrollment, communicate important updates, announcements, or changes to programs, provide customer service and respond to inquiries promptly, process donations and provide receipts for tax purposes, share educational materials, resources, and advocacy information, conduct research, evaluations, and reporting to improve program quality, comply with legal requirements and maintain regulatory compliance, and enhance website functionality and user experience.

We do not sell, rent, or lease personal information to third parties. Any sharing of information is done only in accordance with this Privacy Policy or with your explicit consent.

Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We may share personal information in specific circumstances, including with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our programs or website, such as IT providers, email service providers, payment processors, or educational partners; when required by law, regulation, or legal process, including reporting obligations or compliance with court orders; to protect the rights, safety, or property of our organization, participants, or others; and in connection with organizational mergers, acquisitions, or restructuring, where the information is transferred as part of the business assets.

We ensure that any third parties who receive personal information adhere to strict confidentiality and security standards consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience and analyze website performance. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that allow us to recognize repeat visitors, remember preferences, and understand user behavior.

You can choose to disable cookies in your web browser, though some features of our website may not function as intended if cookies are blocked. We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information without your consent. Analytics and performance data collected through cookies are aggregated and anonymized to ensure privacy.

Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously. We implement appropriate physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include secure servers, encryption, firewalls, access controls, and staff training on data protection protocols.

While we strive to protect your information, no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage method is completely secure. As such, we cannot guarantee absolute security. However, we continuously review and enhance our security measures to minimize risks.

Retention of Information

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the nature of your interaction with our organization.

Once personal information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymize, or destroy it to prevent unauthorized access or misuse.

Rights of Individuals

Individuals have certain rights regarding their personal information. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access your personal information and request a copy, correct or update inaccurate or incomplete information, request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal or contractual obligations, withdraw consent for the collection or use of information where applicable, object to the processing of personal information for specific purposes, and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@facve.site. We will respond promptly and work with you to address your request in accordance with applicable law.

Children’s Privacy

Protecting the privacy of children is especially important to us. Our programs may involve children under the age of 18, and we collect personal information from participants only with parental or guardian consent. We comply with all applicable laws regarding the protection of children online, including parental consent, limited collection of data, and secure handling of sensitive information.

Parents or guardians may contact us at any time to review, update, or delete their child’s information, or to request additional safeguards for their child’s privacy.

If you sign up for newsletters, program updates, or other email communications from us, we use your email address solely for the purpose of sending relevant content. You may opt out at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link included in each email or by contacting info@facve.site. We do not share email addresses with third parties for marketing purposes without explicit consent.

These external sites are not operated or controlled by the Foundation, and we are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or security measures. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

When making a donation, we collect necessary financial and contact information to process the transaction and provide receipts. Donations may be made online through secure payment systems, and all information is encrypted and protected. We may use donor information to provide updates, impact reports, and engagement opportunities, but we do not share donor information with third parties for solicitation purposes.
