PRIVACY POLICY
At Bridge to Kids, we believe that transparency is the foundation of trust. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our donors, volunteers, and the children and families we serve. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information on www.bridge2kids.org.
Information We Collect
We collect information that helps us fulfill our mission and process your support effectively.

Personal Information: This includes your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address provided when you sign up for our newsletter, register for an event (like our golf tournament), or volunteer.
-
Donation Data: When you donate, we collect billing information. Note: We do not store credit card numbers on our servers; all payments are processed through secure, PCI-compliant third-party processors.
-
Technical Data: Like most websites, we automatically collect IP addresses, browser types, and "cookies" to help us understand how visitors interact with our site and to improve your experience.

Process donations and provide tax receipts.

Children's Privacy
Given our mission, we are hypersensitive to the privacy of minors.
-

Program Participants: Information regarding children served by our programs is collected through secure, offline, or encrypted parental consent forms and is never shared publicly without explicit, written permission.
Data Security
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. We use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption for all data transmitted via our website. Access to your personal data is limited to a small number of authorized staff members who have a legitimate "need to know."
