(“ArieCan Foundation,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when visiting our website, participating in our programs, contacting us, making a donation, volunteering, or otherwise interacting with our organization.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

Donations and Payment Information

When you make a donation or other payment through our website, payment information may be processed by Wix or another third-party payment processor. ArieCan Media & Arts Foundation, Inc. does not intend to directly store complete credit or debit card information on its website.

Third-party payment providers may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies and security practices.

Children and Youth Privacy

Because our mission includes programs and opportunities serving youth, protecting the privacy of children and young people is especially important to us.

Our website is intended primarily to provide information about our organization and its programs. We do not knowingly use our general website to solicit personal information directly from children under the age of 13 without appropriate parental or legal guardian consent.

When participation in a Foundation program requires information concerning a minor, we may request information from a parent, legal guardian, school, or other authorized adult as appropriate. Additional consent, registration, media release, or program-specific forms may also be required.

Cookies and Website Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate properly, remember visitor preferences, understand website usage, improve performance, and provide certain website features.

Some cookies may be provided by Wix or other third-party services integrated into our website. Visitors may be able to manage cookies through their browser settings or through cookie-management options provided on the website.

How We Share Information

ArieCan Media & Arts Foundation, Inc. does not sell or rent personal information.

We may share information with trusted service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our website, process donations, administer programs, communicate with visitors, or provide other services on our behalf.

We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of our organization, our participants, or others.

Email Communications

If you choose to receive updates from us, we may send information about Foundation programs, events, opportunities, fundraising initiatives, or other organizational activities.

You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications by following the unsubscribe instructions included in those communications.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to help protect personal information under our control. However, no website, electronic transmission, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. ArieCan Media & Arts Foundation, Inc. is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites. We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of those services before providing personal information.

Your Choices

You may contact us to request that we update or correct personal information you previously provided to us. You may also request information about deleting personal information when appropriate and subject to any legal, financial, programmatic, or record-retention obligations that require us to maintain certain records.
