Privacy Policy

Last updated: [date]

The Gray Matters Foundation ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through GrayMattersFoundation.org, how we use it, and how it's protected.

Information We Collect

We collect personal information in two situations:

• Newsletter signups — When you subscribe (for example, as a Brain Buddie), we collect your name, email address, and any other details you choose to share on the signup form.
• Donations — When you make a donation through our website, we collect the information needed to process it, such as your name, email, and payment details.

How We Use Your Information

We use this information only to:

• Send newsletters, updates, and communications you've signed up for
• Process and acknowledge your donations (and send recepits)
• Improve our programs and outreach by creating personal connections and gathering feedback from you

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties, and we do not use it to send spam. Your information is used solely to support our mission and keep you informed, as you've asked us to.

How Your Information Is Stored

We don't store your data on our own servers. Instead, we rely on two trusted third-party platforms:

• MailChimp manages our newsletter and email list
• GiveButter manages our donation processing

We chose these providers because they maintain strong security and privacy standards, and your information is held in their secure databases under their respective safeguards. Because they manage the storage, we encourage you to review their privacy policies as well, so you know exactly how your data is handled on their end:

• MailChimp Privacy Policy
• GiveButter Privacy Policy

Your Choices

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email we send. If you'd like your information removed or have questions about your data, contact us at lanette@graymattersfoundation.org.

Questions

If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach out to us at lanette@graymattersfoundation.org or through our Contact page.
