Your information, protected.
Plain-language version: we collect only what we need to help you, we use it only for that, and we never sell it.
What we collect
When you fill out a form on this site — applying for help, volunteering, subscribing, or contacting us — we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email, phone number, and details about your business.
How we use it
We use your information only to respond to you, provide the help you've asked for, coordinate volunteers, and send updates you've opted into. That's it.
What we don't do
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We don't share it with third parties except service providers that help us operate (for example, our form and email tools), and only as needed to deliver our services.
Form & email tools
Form submissions are processed through our website host's form service, and email updates through our email provider. These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy terms.
Your choices
You can unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in any message, and you can ask us to delete the information we hold about you by emailing c.williams@startedblack.org.
