D. Email Subscriptions and Educational Resources
Visitors may voluntarily provide their email addresses to request educational materials, receive organizational updates, or subscribe to communications.
We use this information to deliver requested resources and, where the individual has subscribed or otherwise authorized communications, provide information about our programs, opportunities, events, and charitable activities.
Requesting a free resource does not automatically constitute consent to receive unrelated promotional emails.

When enabled, these technologies may collect website interactions, device and browser information, approximate location, cookie identifiers, and other technical information.
We may measure actions such as completed contact forms, participant interest submissions, and donation-related interactions.
Our intended tracking practices are designed to measure these actions without transmitting form contents or directly identifying participant information to Google Analytics.
We do not intentionally transmit participant names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, identification details, or application responses through Google Analytics.
We do not intentionally use participant application information to create advertising audiences or target individuals based on sensitive personal circumstances.
Google may process information according to its own policies and the applicable configuration of its services.

The use of Google Analytics or advertising tools does not mean Confirmation Nation has received approval for or is actively participating in Google Ad Grants.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website and service providers may use cookies and similar technologies for website functionality, security, preferences, analytics, and measurement.
Some cookies are necessary for website operations. Others may be used for analytics or advertising measurement when those services are enabled.
Visitors can manage cookies through browser settings and any consent controls made available on our website.
Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
Where applicable law requires consent before nonessential technologies are activated, we will implement appropriate consent procedures.
6. Information Sharing and Disclosure
Confirmation Nation does not sell or rent participant, donor, or website visitor information.
We may disclose information to trusted service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our organization.
These providers may include:
Google Workspace: Organizational email, forms, spreadsheets, document storage, and administrative collaboration.
Squarespace: Website hosting and related website services.
Givebutter: Donation processing, donor management, and fundraising services.
Google Analytics and Google Ads: Website measurement and nonprofit outreach, when enabled.
Other authorized professional or technology providers may assist with accounting, compliance, website maintenance, or organizational operations.
We seek to limit disclosures to information reasonably necessary for the services being provided.
We may also disclose information when required by applicable law, lawful legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect individuals, organizational systems, or legal rights.
We do not disclose participant interest-list information to prospective employers, mentors, or community partners merely because an individual submits an inquiry. Any program-related referral or information-sharing arrangement will be handled under applicable consent and confidentiality procedures.
7. Information Storage and Security
Confirmation Nation uses organizational accounts and authorized third-party systems to maintain records and manage communications.
Participant information may be stored through Google Workspace services, including Google Forms, Sheets, and Drive.
Donor information may be maintained through Givebutter and organizational financial records.
We seek to protect information through appropriate administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, including limiting access to individuals with legitimate operational responsibilities.
No electronic storage or transmission system can be guaranteed completely secure.
We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss will never occur.
If we become aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will assess the incident and provide notifications when required by applicable law.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for periods reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, administer organizational operations, maintain required records, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information.
For example:
- Participant inquiries may be retained while an individual remains interested in program opportunities or while related administrative needs continue.
- Contact inquiries may be retained as necessary to resolve communications and maintain appropriate organizational records.
- Donation and financial records may be retained for applicable accounting, tax, audit, and regulatory purposes.
- Website analytics information may be retained according to configured service settings and operational needs.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary and no applicable retention obligation remains, we will take reasonable steps to delete, de-identify, or securely dispose of it.
Information contained in system backups may remain temporarily until those backups are replaced or deleted according to applicable procedures.

Some information may need to be retained for legal, financial, security, or administrative reasons.
We will not penalize individuals for making good-faith privacy inquiries or exercising applicable privacy rights.
10. Children's Privacy and Program Eligibility
Confirmation Nation's initial employment readiness program is designed for young adults ages 18 through 25.
Our general website may be accessed by visitors of different ages, but program eligibility requirements apply separately.
We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information online from children under 13.
If we learn that we have collected personal information online from a child under 13 without legally sufficient authorization, we will take appropriate steps to delete the information or otherwise comply with applicable law.

11. External Websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, donation platforms, educational resources, and community organizations.
Confirmation Nation does not control the privacy or security practices of independently operated third-party websites.
Visitors should review the privacy policies of those services before submitting personal information.
12. California Privacy Considerations
Confirmation Nation is organized as a California nonprofit corporation.
The California Consumer Privacy Act generally does not apply directly to nonprofit organizations, although particular organizational relationships or activities may create additional obligations.
Regardless of whether a specific privacy statute applies, Confirmation Nation seeks to handle personal information responsibly and respond appropriately to privacy-related inquiries.
Nothing in this policy limits rights that individuals may have under applicable law.

We may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in organizational practices, technology, legal requirements, or program operations.
When changes are made, we will update the effective or last-updated date shown at the beginning of this policy.
