Christo Laboro ("we," "us," "our") is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit christolaboro.org or interact with our programs, how we use it, and the rights you have over your data.
1. Information we collect
We collect the minimum information needed to operate, communicate, and process donations. Specifically:
- Information you give us directly — name, email, phone number, mailing address, and any message content when you submit a contact form, volunteer application, or donation.
- Donation information — donation amount, frequency, payment method (processed by our third-party payment processor — we do not store full credit card numbers).
- Automatic information — IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps via standard server logs and privacy-respecting analytics.
2. How we use information
We use information only for the purposes you'd expect from a nonprofit:
- To process donations and provide tax-deductible receipts.
- To respond to messages, applications, and inquiries.
- To send updates about our programs (only if you've opted in).
- To improve the site, security, and our programs.
- To meet legal and regulatory requirements (including IRS reporting for 501(c)(3) status).
3. How we share information
We do not sell or rent personal information. We share data only with:
- Service providers — payment processors, email providers, and hosting platforms that help us operate, under contractual confidentiality.
- Legal authorities — when required by subpoena, court order, or law.
- Law enforcement partners — only in the context of authorized investigations and only with information you specifically provided for that purpose.
4. Cookies and analytics
We use a small set of cookies and analytics tools to understand how the site is used. You can disable cookies in your browser at any time — most of the site will work normally without them.
5. Your rights
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time by emailing contact@christolaboro.org. We'll respond within 30 days.
6. Children's privacy
Our site is not directed to children under 13. 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'll delete it.
7. Security
We use reasonable physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure — but we treat your data with the seriousness this work demands.
8. Changes
We may update this policy. We'll post the new version with an updated "Last updated" date. Significant changes will be communicated to donors and volunteers directly.
