🌵 Aliento Privacy Policy

At Aliento Education Fund (“Aliento”), we care about your privacy—like, a lot. We’re all about protecting your personal info and being super clear about how we use it. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what choices you have.

When we say “we,” “us,” or “our,” we’re talking about Aliento. When we say “personal information,” we mean details that could be used to identify you—like your name or email. This policy covers anything you share with us through our websites, apps, platforms, or anything else that links back here.

💡 What We Might Collect

When you use our website or connect with us, we may collect:

  • Your name and contact info

  • Your age group, school grade, or profession

  • Stuff you tell us in messages, surveys, or questions

  • Your preferences for how you want us to contact you

  • Technical things like your browser type or IP address

Yep, cookies are involved too (not the chocolate chip kind 🍪)—just small files that help us improve your experience.

🚀 How We Use Your Info

We use your info to:

  • Support our community and offer helpful services

  • Communicate with you (email, text, etc.)

  • Manage our site and donor base

  • Hire awesome staff and contractors

  • Keep everyone safe and secure

  • Meet our legal and organizational responsibilities

We may also use tools like Google Analytics to understand how people use our site (and make it better).

Sometimes, we’ll group your data with others’—so it’s no longer personally identifiable—and use it for things like reports or research.

🔒 Sharing (or Not Sharing) Your Info

We don’t sell your info. Period. But we may share it with:

  • Trusted partners who help us operate

  • Legal folks if we’re required to by law

  • Other parties only if you’ve given us the green light

And if there’s ever a government request for your info, we’ll do everything we can to protect your privacy.

🛡️ How We Protect Your Info

We take data security seriously. We use reasonable safeguards (think tech tools and common-sense practices) to keep your info safe.

But hey—no system is 100% foolproof. So while we do our best, we can’t promise perfection. We’ll keep your data only as long as we need it to fulfill our mission or comply with the law.

🧭 Your Choices

You’re in control. You can:

  • Say “no thanks” to giving us certain info (though it might limit some features)

  • Update or delete your account info anytime

  • Opt out of marketing emails or texts (look for the unsubscribe link or reply “STOP”)

Just know that even if you opt out of emails, you might still get essential updates from us.

🔄 Updates to This Policy

We might update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If anything major changes, we’ll let you know via email, text, or a notice on our site. Check back once in a while to stay in the loop.
