This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide when you interact with our website and services.

Information We Collect

Personal Information: When you fill out a form, sign up for communications, or contact us, we may collect your full name, email address, phone number, and mailing address. When you make a donation, your payment information is processed directly and securely by Stripe, a trusted third-party payment gateway. We do not collect or store your credit card details or other payment information on our servers. All payment details are handled by Stripe to ensure your data remains protected.

Non-Personal Information: We automatically collect certain technical data when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, pages visited, the time spent on our website, and the referral source. This information helps us enhance your browsing experience, analyze website performance, and maintain security across our platform.

How We Use Your Information

IDoption uses the information we collect to process donations and issue tax receipts, communicate with you about our programs, events, volunteer opportunities, and fundraising campaigns, and respond to your inquiries or prayer requests. We also use this information to improve our website, services, and outreach efforts through analytics, as well as to comply with applicable laws and regulations. We want to assure you that we do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third parties.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We may share limited data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us with payment processing, email marketing, and website hosting and analytics. These providers are contractually obligated to safeguard your information and use it solely for the purpose of delivering services on our behalf. Additionally, we may disclose your information if required by law, to enforce our policies, or to protect our legal rights and the safety of others.

Data Security

We implement a range of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While no system can be guaranteed 100% secure, we take reasonable and proactive steps to safeguard your data. These include encrypted payment processing, secure data storage, and restricting access to personal information to authorized personnel only.
