Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 29, 2026

INTRODUCTION

YBC Family Fund (“YBC Family Fund,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the privacy of website visitors, donors, applicants, volunteers, event participants, partners, and members of our community. This Privacy Policy explains, in general terms, the information we may collect through [website URL], how we may use it, and the choices available to you.

INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT

We may collect information you choose to provide, such as:

• Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address

• Donation, registration, sponsorship, or transaction information

• Volunteer, partnership, event, or newsletter preferences

• Scholarship or assistance-request information submitted through designated forms

• Messages, stories, photographs, or other content you voluntarily submit

• Technical information made available through website hosting, analytics, security, or cookie tools

HOW WE MAY USE INFORMATION

We may use information to:

• Respond to questions and requests

• Review scholarship or assistance applications

• Process donations, registrations, sponsorships, or event participation

• Send receipts, confirmations, updates, or newsletters

• Coordinate volunteers, programs, partnerships, and events

• Protect the security and integrity of the website

• Meet legal, accounting, reporting, or recordkeeping responsibilities

• Evaluate and improve our communications and programs

PAYMENT INFORMATION

Online donations and payments may be processed by a third-party platform. YBC Family Fund may not directly receive or store full payment-card information. The applicable provider’s privacy and security practices may also apply.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION

Scholarship and assistance applications may include sensitive personal information. We seek to limit access to individuals who need the information for program review, administration, compliance, or authorized service delivery. Applicants should use designated forms rather than general contact or email channels whenever possible.

COOKIES & ANALYTICS

The website may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality, analytics, security, or embedded services. [Insert the actual tools used and available consent or opt-out options.]

WHEN INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED

We may share information with service providers, payment processors, professional advisers, program partners, or government authorities when reasonably necessary to operate the organization, deliver requested services, protect rights or safety, or meet legal requirements. We do not sell personal information.

STORIES, PHOTOS & TESTIMONIALS

We will seek appropriate permission before publishing an identifiable personal story, testimonial, image, or sensitive hardship information. Individuals may contact us with questions about previously published content.

DATA RETENTION & SECURITY

We take reasonable steps to protect information and retain it only as long as appropriate for operational, legal, financial, program, or recordkeeping purposes. No online system can be guaranteed completely secure.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Because our mission involves youth, forms and programs may require information about minors. Parent or legal-guardian involvement and consent should be obtained where appropriate. The public website is not intended for children to submit sensitive information without adult involvement.

YOUR CHOICES

You may contact us to:

• Update certain contact information

• Unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter emails

• Ask questions about our privacy practices

• Request review of information, where appropriate and legally permitted

THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Our website may link to third-party websites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

POLICY UPDATES

We may update this policy periodically. The “Last Updated” date will reflect the most recent revision.
