OUR PERSONAL STATEMENT, COOKIES, AND THIRD-PARTIES

Personal Statement

We are committed to creating a secure, transparent, and dignified experience for every donor and beneficiary. At Uplift, we believe that trust is the foundation of philanthropy. Our privacy policy is designed to be as clear as our financial reporting, ensuring your data is protected while we work together to support families in need.

When you visit our site, apply for assistance, or make a donation, some of your personal information is gathered to facilitate our "Technology of Trust" virtual card system.

What are 'cookies'?

Cookies are small text files stored within your browser's cache. We use both first-party and third-party cookies on this site to ensure functionality, analyze our impact, and improve our outreach efforts.

Why do we use cookies?

Certain cookies are necessary for the website to function, such as securing your donation session or remembering your preferences.

Additionally, cookies help us gather data on how our mission is being shared—for example, tracking viewed pages or time spent on our "Live Impact" dashboard. This allows us to optimize the user experience for both donors and those seeking help. We do not use cookies that track your personal identity outside of our platform.

What information do we gather specifically?

The information we gather is what you supply to us directly.

For Donors: This includes name, email, and billing information to process your gift.

For Beneficiaries: This includes contact details, household information, and necessary documentation (uploaded via JotForm) to verify and fulfill your assistance request.

General: We may also collect session information such as geographic origin or device type to ensure our mobile-friendly application process works for everyone.

What third-parties do we share your information with?

We only share information with our trusted partners for the purpose of fulfilling our mission. This includes payment processors (Stripe/PayPal) and secure form builders (JotForm). We will never sell your personal data to third parties.

Website Media

Uplift owns the media on this website unless otherwise stated. All photography featuring our beneficiaries is used with their explicit consent to highlight the real-time impact of your donations.

Disclosure of Your Information

You have the right to request access to your data. If any information we have is incorrect, you can have it altered or removed by contacting us directly.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may impact your ability to use the "Live Impact" dashboard or the donation platform correctly.

Updates

Our privacy policies are subject to change as we evolve. All updates will be posted immediately on this page.
