G.O.T Woman ("we," "us," or "our"), a program of GOT CONNECTIONS Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit gotwomen.org or interact with our services.

1. Information We Collect

  • Contact Forms: Name, email, subject, and message content when you reach out to us.
  • Newsletter Signup: Email address and optionally your name when you subscribe to our newsletter.

Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, and general browsing behavior.
  • Device Information: Browser type, operating system, and screen resolution.
  • Cookies: Session cookies for authentication and basic site functionality.

2. How We Use Your Information

3. Payment Processing

All financial transactions are processed through Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor. When you make a donation or purchase a membership, your payment information is transmitted directly to Stripe over an encrypted connection. We store only your Stripe customer ID and transaction references for record-keeping purposes. We never have access to your full credit card number.

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in these limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We use trusted third-party services (Stripe for payments, email delivery services for notifications) that process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation.
  • Organizational Operations: Within the GOT CONNECTIONS Foundation for program administration.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure password hashing, and access controls that limit data access to authorized personnel. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. Donation records are retained as required for nonprofit tax and reporting obligations. You may request deletion of your account data at any time by contacting us.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal retention requirements).
  • Unsubscribe from newsletters at any time.
  • Withdraw consent for data processing where consent was the basis.

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies required for site functionality, such as maintaining your login session. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
