How Keep Climbing Foundation handles information shared through this site.

Keep Climbing Foundation respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This policy explains how information may be collected, used, and shared when you visit this website, donate through linked fundraising pages, sign up for updates, or submit a scholarship application.

This policy applies to information collected through this website and through connected services used to operate the foundation’s public forms, fundraising flows, and communications.

Information you provide directly may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any other details you choose to submit through forms, scholarship applications, email signups, or direct communications.

If you apply for scholarship support, you may also provide information related to your child, medical journey, treatment, financial circumstances, and supporting context needed for the foundation to review the request.

The website may also receive limited technical information such as browser type, device information, referring pages, and security-related data used to help protect the site from spam or abuse.

Information is used to operate the website, respond to inquiries, process email signups, review scholarship applications, communicate with families or supporters, and improve the foundation’s outreach and operations.

Scholarship application information may be used to evaluate eligibility, coordinate follow-up, verify details with providers or care coordinators when appropriate, and administer support if assistance is approved.

We may also use information to maintain site security, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, and document nonprofit operations and program activity.

Donations, sponsorships, and certain campaign transactions are handled through Givebutter and its connected payment providers. When you leave this site to complete a donation or related transaction, your information is governed by the privacy and payment practices of those third-party services.

Keep Climbing Foundation does not collect or store payment card details directly through this website.

Newsletter signups and scholarship application submissions entered on this site are sent through the foundation’s form processing workflow and may be stored in connected administrative tools used to manage submissions and communications.

Scholarship submissions may include sensitive personal information. That information is collected only for the purpose of reviewing and administering scholarship support and is not intended for public display.

Supporting details submitted through forms may be shared internally with board members, staff, or trusted administrators who need the information to review requests or manage nonprofit operations.

This site uses security measures designed to reduce spam, abuse, and automated form submissions. These measures may include reCAPTCHA and related risk analysis provided by Google.

Information collected through those security tools is subject to the applicable third-party provider terms and privacy practices.

This site may link to or use third-party services such as Givebutter, Google reCAPTCHA, video and social media platforms, and other tools that support communications, storytelling, or operations. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

The foundation is not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party sites or services that are not controlled by Keep Climbing Foundation.

Some parts of the site or connected third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic functionality, security, media playback, or service performance.

If you disable cookies in your browser, some parts of the website or connected services may not function as expected.

Information may be shared with service providers and tools that help the foundation operate the website, process submissions, manage communications, or administer fundraising and scholarship support.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect the rights or safety of the organization or others, or investigate misuse of the site.

You may opt out of email updates by using the unsubscribe option in the message or by contacting the foundation directly.

If you need to update, correct, or request deletion of information you previously submitted, contact the foundation and it will review the request in light of operational, legal, and recordkeeping obligations.
