Last Updated: December 1, 2025
1. Overview
HaciGroup is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information when you visit hacigroup.org, contact us, donate, sign up for updates, or otherwise interact with HaciGroup.
2. Information We Collect
- Contact form data: name, email address, phone number if provided, message content, and related correspondence.
- Donation data: donation amount, frequency, billing details, receipt information, and limited payment metadata. HaciGroup does not intentionally store full payment card numbers.
- Communications: newsletter signups, email preferences, volunteer or program inquiries, and records of messages we send or receive.
- Website and analytics data: IP address, browser and device information, pages viewed, referring URLs, approximate location derived from IP address, and cookie or similar technology data.
3. How We Use Information
We use personal information to respond to inquiries, process donations and receipts, provide updates you request, operate and improve our website, understand community interest, protect against fraud or misuse, keep records, comply with legal obligations, and support nonprofit operations.
5. Donations and Payment Processors
Donation payments may be processed by Stripe or other third-party payment processors. Those processors collect and process payment information under their own terms and privacy policies. We receive limited transaction, receipt, and payment metadata needed for donation administration, accounting, fraud prevention, and compliance.
7. Retention and Deletion
We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to you, maintaining donation and accounting records, complying with tax, audit, legal, or reporting obligations, resolving disputes, and protecting against fraud or misuse. You may request deletion by contacting privacy@hacigroup.org. We may retain limited records where required or permitted for legal, accounting, security, compliance, or dispute purposes.
8. California Privacy Rights
California residents may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or information about certain personal information, and to opt out of certain sharing where applicable. HaciGroup does not sell personal information. To make a privacy request, contact privacy@hacigroup.org. We may need to verify your request before responding.
9. Children and Minors
Our website and donation forms are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information to us, contact privacy@hacigroup.org so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No website, payment system, email system, or internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
