Privacy Policy

We collect only the information necessary to operate this website and communicate with supporters.

If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and any information you choose to include in your message. If you make a donation through our GoFundMe campaign or any future donation platform, that platform collects your payment information directly — we do not process or store payment card data.

We do not require you to create an account to use this website. We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it.

This website may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how visitors use the site — such as which pages are visited and how long visitors stay. We do not use analytics platforms that build advertising profiles or sell data to third parties. We do not run advertising on this website.

If analytics are enabled, they collect anonymous, aggregate data only. No individual visitor is identified or tracked across other websites.

This website uses only essential cookies required for basic site functionality. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party cookies that build user profiles.

If a third-party embed is present on the site (such as a GoFundMe widget), that service may set its own cookies subject to its own privacy policy.

Information you provide — such as your email address when contacting us or volunteering — is used only to respond to your inquiry, coordinate volunteer or partnership activities, and send updates about our programs if you've opted in.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share information with partner organizations only as necessary to coordinate program activities, and only with your knowledge.

Donations are processed through third-party platforms (currently GoFundMe). We receive your name and donation amount for acknowledgment purposes. We do not receive or store your payment card details.

When our 501(c)(3) status is confirmed, we will maintain donor records as required by IRS regulations. Donor information will never be sold or shared for marketing purposes.

Bins for the Homeless serves people experiencing homelessness. We take the privacy of program participants extremely seriously.

We do not collect, store, or publish any personally identifiable information about individuals who receive bins. Our partner organizations may maintain their own records for service coordination — those records are governed by their own privacy policies and applicable regulations.

We will never photograph, name, or identify a program participant without their explicit, informed consent.
