Privacy Policy

Founders Legacy Foundation (“FLF,” “we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy. This Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you visit founderslegacyfoundation.com, donate, join the Founders Club, RSVP/attend events, or otherwise interact with us (together, the “Services”).

 

 

1) Information we collect

 

You provide: name, email, phone number, mailing address, donation amounts/fund choices, payment details (processed by our providers), preferences (e.g., SMS opt-in), event RSVPs, messages, board/volunteer interest info.

Collected automatically: device/usage data (IP address, browser, pages viewed), cookies and similar tech (see “Cookies & Analytics”).

From third parties: payment processors (e.g., Wix Payments/PayPal) for payment status; email/SMS tools; analytics; event or survey platforms.

 

 

2) How we use information

 

• Process donations, send receipts, manage recurring giving and Founders Club

• Communicate (donation confirmations, invoices, updates, meeting/event reminders)

• Operate programs (scholarships, mentorship, signature events) and our website

• Compliance, fraud prevention, and security

• De-identified/aggregate reporting and impact measurement

• With your consent, where required (e.g., SMS opt-in)

3) Donor recognition & preferences

We may publicly acknowledge donors (e.g., honor rolls). Tell us if you wish to remain anonymous; we will honor your preference.

4) How we share information

 

We don’t sell personal information. We share with:

 

• Service providers: website host (Wix), payment processors, email/SMS platforms, analytics, file storage, accountants/advisors

• Legal/compliance: to meet obligations, enforce terms, or protect rights

• Program partners: when needed to administer scholarships/mentorship (with safeguards)

5) SMS program

By opting in, you agree to receive recurring texts about donations/receipts, invoices, Founders Club updates, meetings, events, and impact. Message & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out; HELP for help. Frequency varies. Consent isn’t required to donate. We log consent and opt-outs for compliance. See the SMS Terms in our Terms & Conditions.

6) Cookies & analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., Google Analytics 4) to understand site usage and improve the Services. You can control cookies via your browser settings; blocking some cookies may limit features.

7) Data retention

Donation and financial records are typically kept at least 7 years to meet legal/tax obligations. Other data is kept as long as needed for the purposes in this Policy, then deleted or de-identified.

8) Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the data. No system is 100% secure; please use strong, unique passwords for any accounts you create.

9) Your choices
