15. No Sale of Personal Information

We do not sell personal information.

We also do not knowingly sell personal information of children or minors.

If we later use advertising, analytics, pixels, retargeting, cross-context behavioral advertising, data-sharing, sponsorship, promotional, or third-party marketing technologies that may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under applicable law, we will review and update this Privacy Policy and provide required choices where applicable.

16. Retention of Information

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary, appropriate, or permitted for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer or shorter period is required by law, contract, donor restriction, archival requirement, tax requirement, accounting rule, audit need, legal hold, security need, dispute, investigation, or operational requirement.

When information is no longer needed, we may delete, destroy, de-identify, aggregate, anonymize, restrict, archive, or securely retain it in accordance with applicable law, mission-related needs, technical limitations, backups, and recordkeeping requirements.

17. Archival, Historical, Research, and Public-Interest Retention

If we become aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will take reasonable steps to review the incident, investigate as appropriate, mitigate risk, preserve relevant records, communicate with relevant service providers, and provide notices if required by applicable law.

We may delay, limit, or structure communications where permitted or required by law, law-enforcement needs, investigation needs, security considerations, or legal advice.

21. California and Other U.S. State Privacy Notices

Certain U.S. state privacy laws may provide residents with rights regarding personal information, such as rights to know, access, delete, correct, obtain a copy of information, opt out of certain uses, limit certain sensitive-information uses, or avoid discrimination for exercising rights.

22. International Visitors

The Foundation is based in the United States. If you access the website or communicate with us from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or in other jurisdictions where our service providers, partners, or systems operate.

Privacy laws in the United States may differ from laws in your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law, we will rely on appropriate legal bases, transfer mechanisms, safeguards, exceptions, consent, contractual protections, or other lawful means for processing or transferring information.

23. Children’s Privacy

The website is not currently directed to children under 13 and is not intended to knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate consent.

If the Foundation later offers child-directed online features, youth program registrations, student applications, family services, educational portals, scholarships, contests, interactive features, or other activities involving children, additional notices, consent procedures, safeguards, or policies may be required.

Parents or guardians may contact privacy@quijanofoundation.org to request review, correction, or deletion of information submitted by a child, subject to applicable law and recordkeeping requirements.

24. Automated Tools, Decision-Making, and Profiling

We do not currently use website information for solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

We use or may use automated tools for purposes including, but not limited to:

  • bot detection;
  • security monitoring;
  • fraud prevention;
  • analytics;
  • routing communications;
  • processing forms;
  • managing email lists;
  • website administration;

If automated tools are later used for eligibility, ranking, access, program participation, grantmaking, scholarships, benefits, or other significant decisions, the Foundation should review and update this Privacy Policy and related procedures before deployment.

25. Do Not Track, Global Privacy Controls, and Browser Signals

Some browsers or devices offer “Do Not Track,” Global Privacy Control, or similar privacy signals.

The website may not respond to all such signals unless required by applicable law or supported by the systems and providers used by the website.

If we later deploy technologies that constitute sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or similar regulated activity, we will review whether additional browser-signal recognition, opt-out links, or preference mechanisms are required.

26. Accuracy of Information

You are responsible for providing accurate, current, and complete information when communicating with us, submitting forms, donating, applying, registering, volunteering, participating, or providing materials.

You may contact privacy@quijanofoundation.org to request correction of information where applicable.

27. Data Minimization and User Responsibility

You should provide only information that is necessary, relevant, accurate, and appropriate for the applicable request, communication, donation, application, program, event, submission, or interaction.

Do not submit sensitive personal information unless it is requested, necessary, appropriate, or directly relevant to the purpose of the interaction.

If you provide information about another person, you represent that you have appropriate authority, consent, or legal basis to provide that information.
