This website is run by Because of ADAM, a nonprofit in Blair County, Pennsylvania. This policy explains what the site collects and why.
What we collect
- Forms you fill out. Right now our Contact and Get Involved pages show our email address instead of a form, so we only get what you choose to email us.
- Email updates. We don’t send email updates yet, so we don’t keep a mailing list.
- Donations. We don’t take donations on this website yet.
- Site statistics. We don’t use a site statistics service. See Facebook and Hosting below for what those services can see when you visit.
Things that stay in your browser
- The Water Watcher pledge, the water safety quiz and the home water safety checklist run entirely in your browser. We don’t receive or save your answers.
- Site search runs in your browser against an index built into the site. Nothing you type is sent to us. The list of pages you looked at before in the search window is kept only in your browser, and you can clear it there.
- We don’t use cookies of our own, and we don’t use advertising trackers.
- Our fonts are stored on our own site, so loading a page doesn’t contact any font service.
Our News page shows our latest Facebook posts through Facebook’s page plugin, which loads with the page. A few pages, like Adam’s Story and About Us, hold a short video from our Facebook page inside a fold-away album, and nothing loads from Facebook until you open it. When Facebook content loads, Facebook may set cookies or collect information about your visit under Facebook’s privacy policy.
Hosting
This website is hosted by GitHub Pages. Like most web hosts, GitHub records visitors’ IP addresses for security. See GitHub’s privacy statement.
How we use information
We use your information only to reply to you, plan talks and events, send the updates you asked for, process and thank you for donations, and understand how the site is used so we can make it better.
What we never do
We never sell, rent or trade your personal information.
Children’s privacy
This website is for parents, caregivers and other adults. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you think a child has sent us information, contact us and we’ll delete it.
Photos and stories
We only share photos and stories of children and families with a parent or guardian’s written permission. If you’d like something removed, contact us and we’ll take care of it quickly.
