Privacy Policy

Information this website collects

This website is primarily informational. We do not provide account registration, a newsletter signup, or an online participant application on this site.

Our hosting and security providers may process limited technical information needed to deliver and protect the site, including IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, and server or security logs.

Donations through Stripe

When you select a donation link, you are taken to Stripe's secure checkout. Stripe processes payment and donation information under its own terms and privacy policy. The Drift Forward Foundation does not receive or store full payment card numbers on this website.

Stripe may provide information needed to acknowledge a donation, maintain records, prevent fraud, and answer donor questions. This may include a donor's name, email address, donation amount, and transaction details.

Email you send us

If you contact us by email, we use the information you provide to read, respond to, and manage your message. Please do not send sensitive personal, medical, financial, or participant information by ordinary email.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

The Drift Forward Foundation may use Google Analytics and Google Ads measurement tools to understand general website activity, such as page visits, traffic sources, and whether visitors interact with donation or contact paths. Google and related services may use cookies or similar technologies to provide measurement, security, and ad performance reporting.

If enhanced conversion measurement is active, limited contact information that a visitor provides through a donation, email interaction, or other eligible action may be processed in a privacy-protective format, such as hashing, to help measure ad performance. We do not sell personal information or intentionally use advertising retargeting through this website.

How information is used

We use information to operate and protect the website, process and acknowledge donations, communicate with people who contact us, prevent misuse, and meet legal or recordkeeping obligations. We do not sell personal information.

Information may be shared with service providers that help perform these functions, including our website host and Stripe, or when required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, and security.

Participant and youth privacy

This website is not designed to collect personal information from children. Do not send a child's personal information through this website or by email. Program participation uses separate appropriate parent, guardian, consent, and safety processes when applicable.

Your questions and policy changes

You may ask questions about information you provided to us or request a correction by emailing info@driftforward.com. We may update this policy as the site or our practices change.
