Website Privacy Policy

How We Handle Your Website Information

Separate From Our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices
Effective Date: March 1, 2019 In Time of Need Incorporated
This Website Privacy Policy explains how In Time of Need Incorporated ("we," "us") collects, uses, and protects information gathered through our website. It covers general website data only — it does not cover protected health information (PHI), which is addressed in our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.

Information We Collect

  • Information you provide directly: name, email address, phone number, and mailing address when you contact us, sign up for updates, volunteer, or make a donation.
  • Donation information: when you donate through our website, payment processing is handled by a third-party payment processor; we do not store your full credit card or bank account numbers on our own servers.
  • Automatically collected information: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on pages, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
  • Communications: if you email us or submit a contact form, we retain that correspondence to respond to your inquiry.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve site functionality and understand how visitors use our site. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.

How We Use Information

  • To respond to inquiries and provide information about our programs and services
  • To process donations and send donation acknowledgments/tax receipts
  • To send newsletters or updates, where you have opted in
  • To improve our website and understand visitor usage patterns
  • To comply with legal obligations

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers who help us operate our website, process donations, or send communications, under confidentiality obligations
  • Government agencies or grant funders, where required by funding/reporting obligations (in aggregate or de-identified form where possible)
  • Legal authorities, where required by law, subpoena, or court order

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our general website. Where our affiliated programs collect information from or about minors in connection with specific services, that collection is governed by the applicable program-specific consent forms and notices, not this general website policy.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information collected through our website. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices

  • You may opt out of email communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link or contacting us directly.
  • You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you by contacting us at the information below, subject to applicable legal retention requirements.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (such as payment processors or social media platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Website Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
