You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the message or by contacting us directly. We may still send non-promotional communications when necessary, such as donation confirmations, transaction notices, or responses to your requests.

5. How We Share Information

Semper Fun Organization does not sell or rent personal information.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

  • Service providers that support website hosting, payment processing, email communications, analytics, data storage, accounting, and other operational functions

  • Professional advisors, such as accountants, auditors, attorneys, or consultants, when appropriate

  • Government agencies, regulators, law enforcement, or other parties when required by law or legal process

  • Protect the rights, safety, property, or security of Semper Fun Organization, our community, or others

  • Investigate or prevent fraud, security incidents, or unlawful activity

Service providers are permitted to process information as necessary to perform services on our behalf and may also have independent legal obligations regarding the information they process.

6. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate properly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the website, improve performance, and support analytics.

Some cookies are necessary for website functionality. Other cookies may be used for analytics or performance purposes.

Depending on your location and the options available on our website, you may be able to manage certain cookie preferences through our cookie banner or your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain website features.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or loss.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain appropriate organizational and financial records, comply with legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our website and online donation services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13.

If we learn that we have collected personal information online from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
