Below is a cleaned-up, ready-to-paste Privacy Policy tailored for 1931 Foundation based on that template and keeping it general‑purpose for a nonprofit site.
Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 15, 2026
Who we are
Our website address is: https://1931foundation.org.
The 1931 Foundation (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing our mission of supporting communities through education, outreach, and related programs. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we may collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if applicable) is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third‑party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
You’ll want to add a short “Donations” section that explains GiveButter’s role and points to their policy, while clarifying what 1931 Foundation sees and stores.
Here’s an add-on you can drop into the Privacy Policy (I’d place it after “Cookies” or “Embedded content”):
Donations and payment information
We use Givebutter to power our online donations and fundraising forms. When you make a donation through a Givebutter form linked from our website, Givebutter collects certain personal information such as your name, contact details, donation amount, and any information you choose to provide (for example, in a message field) in order to process your donation and provide receipts.givebutter+1
Payment information (such as your credit card or bank account details) is processed directly by Givebutter’s PCI-compliant payment processors (such as Stripe and other supported methods) and is not stored by the 1931 Foundation. We receive access to donor details and transaction records necessary for donation management, acknowledgments, and our reporting obligations, but we do not receive or retain full payment card numbers.givebutter+2
Givebutter may use your information as described in its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review here: https://givebutter.com/privacy. Your use of a Givebutter donation form is also subject to Givebutter’s terms of service, available at: https://givebutter.com/terms)
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.
We may also share limited information with service providers who support our website operations (for example, hosting, security, analytics, or email services). These providers are only permitted to use your information to provide services to us and are required to protect it appropriately.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow‑up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except that they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data that you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.
This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, tax, or security purposes. To make a request, please contact us using the contact information provided on our website.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
We may also use third‑party tools and services (for example, analytics or email providers) that process data on our behalf and may be located in other jurisdictions. These providers are selected with care and are required to protect your information appropriately.
Contact information
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal data, please contact us using the contact form or contact details available at https://1931foundation.org.
