Privacy Policy
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
The St. Louis Police Foundation is committed to protecting the privacy of our donors, supporters, and website visitors. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.
Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
Information you provide directly: When you make a donation, submit a contact form, register for an event, or sign up for our newsletter, you may provide us with your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and payment information.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, our site collects certain information automatically when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URLs. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies and is used to improve the site's performance and user experience.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
Process donations and send tax receipts
Respond to inquiries submitted through our contact form
Send event information, Foundation news, and impact updates to newsletter subscribers
Improve the content and functionality of our website
Fulfill any other purpose for which you provided the information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for any commercial marketing purposes unrelated to the Foundation's mission.
Donor Privacy
The St. Louis Police Foundation respects the privacy of our donors. We do not share, sell, or trade donor information with any outside organization.
If you wish to make an anonymous gift, please contact us directly at the information listed below.
Email Communications
If you sign up for our newsletter or provide your email address through our contact form, you may receive periodic updates from the Foundation including event announcements, impact reports, and campaign news.
We do not send unsolicited email and will never share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.
Third-Party Services
Our website is hosted on Squarespace, which may collect certain technical data in accordance with their own privacy policy. Donation processing is handled by a third-party payment processor, which maintains its own security and privacy practices.
Our site may also contain links to external websites, including the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and St. Louis County Police Department. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve your browsing experience and analyze site traffic. You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect certain site functionality.
Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. Our website uses SSL encryption for all data transmission. However, no method of internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
Your Rights
You may request to review, update, or delete any personal information we hold about you by contacting us. We will respond to all such requests within a reasonable timeframe.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
