Effective Date: 4/01/25

1. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide through forms powered by Formspree on our Squarespace website, including:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Grade level or academic standing

  • Civic role or affiliation

  • Interests and preferred ways to support our mission

  • Community issues of concern

  • Payment information (for donations or membership subscriptions, processed securely through third-party providers)

Form submissions require users to confirm they are 18 or older. However, subscriptions and donations may be made by users under 18 with the legal right to authorize payments or with the consent of a guardian.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

  • Respond to inquiries

  • Send newsletters, updates, and event invitations

  • Facilitate event registration, volunteer coordination, and community engagement

  • Manage and fulfill your donation or membership subscription

  • Conduct basic analytics (e.g., form submission volume)

  • Improve our outreach, programming, and digital experience

By submitting a form, donating, or subscribing to a membership, you consent to being contacted by email, phone, or other methods for relevant opportunities. You may unsubscribe or request data deletion at any time.

3. Donations & Membership Subscriptions

When you donate or subscribe to a membership plan (e.g., Centered American, Core Centered American, or Founding Centered American), your payment information is securely processed through a third-party provider. We do not store or access your full payment details.

By donating or subscribing:

  • You consent to receive communications related to your support, including receipts, renewal notices, and updates on the impact of your contribution

  • Your membership may grant access to exclusive content, perks, or events as outlined on our website

  • Subscriptions are non-refundable but can be canceled at any time

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or share your information with third parties outside of Formspree, Squarespace, and our secure payment processing platforms. These services help us manage form submissions, donations, and website functionality. We retain full control over your data and never share it for unrelated marketing purposes.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you

  • Request correction or deletion of your data

  • Withdraw consent or unsubscribe from communications

To exercise these rights, email us at info@centeredamerica.org.

6. Data Security

Your information is stored and managed through secure platforms (Squarespace, Formspree, and our donation/payment services), which maintain industry-standard protections including encrypted data transmission and strict access controls. We manually update or delete data upon request.

7. Media Submissions

If you provide media (photos, videos, testimonials), you grant Centered America the right to use such materials for promotional, educational, or advocacy purposes. No compensation is offered. You may revoke this permission at any time by written request.

8. Legal Disclaimers

Participation in our events or programs is voluntary and may be subject to eligibility or safety concerns. Centered America is not liable for injury, damages, or loss sustained during participation.

9. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Subscribers and members will be notified via email of any significant changes. The most current version will always be available on our website.
