Effective Date: April 25, 2026

1. Introduction

Make More Marbles Foundation ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information you provide when using our website at makemoremarbles.org (the "Site").

By using our Site, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use immediately.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

• Personal Information: Name, email address, billing details, and any information you voluntarily provide through donation forms or volunteer signups.
• Donation Data: Donation amounts and types. We do not store credit card numbers — all payment processing is handled securely by Stripe.
• Usage Data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and actions taken on the Site.
• Cookies: We do not currently use tracking cookies or third-party analytics cookies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected data to:

• Process donations via Stripe
• Coordinate volunteer events and house builds
• Respond to inquiries and provide support
• Send newsletters, updates, and event announcements (only if you opt-in)
• Comply with applicable legal and tax requirements

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data only with:

• Payment Processors — Stripe, Inc. processes all donations. Stripe's privacy policy governs their handling of payment data.
• Event Partners — We may share volunteer names with partner organizations (e.g., Baja Bound) for event coordination only.
• Legal Authorities — When required by law or to protect our rights.

5. Payment Processing

All payment processing is handled by Stripe, Inc. We never see, store, or have access to your credit card numbers. Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant — the highest level of payment security certification. Donations are powered by FreeDonateButton with zero platform fees.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect your data, including HTTPS encryption on all connections. No online platform is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access.

• Request access to personal information we've collected about you
• Request correction or deletion of your personal information
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data (we do not sell personal data)
• Withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for operational, tax, or legal purposes, or until you request deletion. Donation records may be retained as required by IRS regulations.

9. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to other websites (including Stripe, Kiva, and partner organizations). We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content.

10. Children's Privacy
