Definitions

We use cookies and similar technologies to track activity on our website and improve user experience. Cookies help us understand usage patterns and access preferences. You may refuse cookies through your browser settings, though some website features may not function properly.

We also use analytics services such as Google Analytics to monitor website traffic. Google may use collected data to contextualize ads across its network. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

How We Protect Your Data

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect personal information. When working with third-party payment processors, industry-standard security measures such as encryption and access controls are used.

No system is completely secure, but we continuously work to maintain appropriate safeguards.

How We Use and Share Your Data

We may use personal information to:

• Communicate about programs, events, and donations

• Improve our services and outreach

• Personalize user experience

Access to personal information is limited to employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations who need the information to perform services on our behalf and who are bound by confidentiality obligations.

We use third-party vendors such as BambooHR, GoFundme Pro, Virtuous CRM, and Thinkific for operations including donations, employment applications, and communications. Each vendor maintains its own privacy policy.

We do not rent or sell personal information.

Personal information may be disclosed only when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or prevent wrongdoing.

Participation in Nonprofit Data Cooperatives

To responsibly expand awareness of our mission and strengthen our supporter community, Unbound Now may participate in nonprofit data cooperatives. These are membership-based services that allow participating nonprofits to pool limited supporter information through a third-party vendor to identify prospective supporters and deepen engagement with existing supporters.

When participating in a data cooperative, Unbound Now may share limited personal information — such as contact information and donation or engagement history — with the cooperative vendor and other participating nonprofit organizations. In return, we may receive modeled or prospect information about individuals who may be interested in our mission or who support similar charitable causes.

This practice is a longstanding nonprofit fundraising approach designed to improve outreach effectiveness while lowering costs. Shared information is subject to contractual safeguards and may only be used for nonprofit purposes.

Opt-Out:
You may opt out of having your personal information included in nonprofit data cooperative activities at any time by contacting us using the information provided below. Opting out will not affect your ability to donate to or engage with Unbound Now in other ways.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless legal obligations require otherwise.

Business Transfers

If Unbound Now is acquired, merged, or ceases operations, personal information may be transferred as part of organizational assets. We will provide notice before personal information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Cross-Border Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States. By submitting information, you consent to this transfer. We take reasonable steps to ensure secure treatment of your data.

Your Rights (Including GDPR Rights)

Users have the right to:

• Access, update, or delete personal information

• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data

• Object to or restrict processing

• Request data portability

• Withdraw consent at any time

These rights are subject to legal limitations. We may verify identity before fulfilling requests.
