Purple Urban Ribbon Foundation (“PUR Foundation,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the privacy of our website visitors, donors, program participants, volunteers, community members, and individuals seeking information or services.

 

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we may collect, why we collect it, how it may be used, and the steps we take to protect

​

1. Information We Collect

We do not require participants to provide information about their race, gender, sexual orientation, or similar personal characteristics as a condition of participating in our programs.

Purple Urban Ribbon Foundation does not sell or rent personal information.

 

3. Inclusivity & Equal Access

 

Purple Urban Ribbon Foundation programs are open to individuals ages 12 and older and welcome people of all races, genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds.

 

We are committed to providing a respectful, inclusive, and supportive environment and to providing equal access to our programs in accordance with applicable law.

 

4. Confidentiality & Survivor Privacy

 

Because Purple Urban Ribbon Foundation provides domestic violence education, resources, and survivor-focused services, we recognize that some information shared with us may be particularly sensitive.

 

We take reasonable measures to protect participant information and limit access to personal information to individuals who have an appropriate organizational need to access it.

 

We do not publicly identify an individual as a survivor, participant seeking domestic violence assistance, or recipient of survivor services without appropriate authorization.

 

Information may be disclosed when required or permitted by applicable law.

 

5. Photography, Video, Television & Social Media

 

Purple Urban Ribbon Foundation programs, workshops, events, and community activities may occasionally be photographed, video recorded, or attended by news or other media.

 

Participants may be asked to complete a media waiver or release indicating whether they consent to or decline photography, video, television, website, social media, promotional, or other media use.

 

We may retain signed media releases, waivers, and documented opt-out selections as organizational records.

 

Purple Urban Ribbon Foundation will make reasonable efforts to honor documented media preferences.

 

Declining media consent will not, by itself, prevent an individual from participating in our programs or receiving available services.

 

For minors, appropriate parent or legal guardian authorization may be required before a minor’s photograph, video, voice, or likeness is used.

 

6. Feedback & Suggestion Cards

 

Purple Urban Ribbon Foundation may collect suggestion cards, surveys, evaluations, comments, or other feedback from program and event participants.

 

Feedback may be used to evaluate our programs, identify community needs, improve services, and plan future programming.

 

Participants are encouraged not to include unnecessary sensitive personal information on suggestion cards.

 

If someone voluntarily includes identifying or contact information, it will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

 

7. Children & Minor Participants

 

Some Purple Urban Ribbon Foundation programs and events are available to participants beginning at age 12.

 

We take additional care when handling information involving minors.

 

For children under age 13, we do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from the child without appropriate parent or legal guardian consent when such consent is required by applicable law.

 

A parent or legal guardian may be required to complete or authorize registration, waivers, consent forms, or media releases for a minor.

 

A parent or legal guardian who believes a child under 13 has submitted personal information without appropriate authorization may contact us to request review or deletion, subject to applicable legal and record-retention requirements.

 

8. Donations

 

When someone makes a monetary donation, certain information may be collected or processed by the payment service used to complete the transaction.

 

Purple Urban Ribbon Foundation may maintain information reasonably necessary to:

 

Document donations

Provide donation acknowledgments or receipts

Communicate with donors

Maintain financial and nonprofit records

Meet applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements

 

Payment information processed directly by a third-party payment provider is also subject to that provider’s privacy and security practices.

 

9. In-Kind Donations

 

Individuals, businesses, and organizations may contact Purple Urban Ribbon Foundation thru email to offer goods, supplies, food, gift cards, professional services, or other forms of in-kind support.

 

We may retain relevant contact information and communications to coordinate the donation, maintain appropriate records, communicate with donors, and acknowledge support.

Our website may use cookies, analytics, and similar technologies to help operate the website and understand how visitors interact with it.

 

Depending on the technologies used by our website provider or third-party services, information may include browser or device information, pages visited, and general website activity.

When information is submitted directly to an outside provider, that provider’s own privacy policy and practices may apply.

12. Data Security

 

Purple Urban Ribbon Foundation takes reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

 

Access to participant records and other personal information is limited as reasonably appropriate for authorized organizational purposes.

 

No website, email system, electronic transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

 

13. Record Retention

 

Purple Urban Ribbon Foundation may retain registration records, waivers, consent forms, media preferences, donation records, communications, suggestion cards, and other organizational records for as long as reasonably necessary for program administration, legal compliance, financial recordkeeping, safety, or legitimate nonprofit purposes.
