This website is intended for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

Third-party websites and embeds
Our website links to or embeds third-party services, including donation forms, newsletter forms, social or partner resources, event resources, and analytics services. Those third parties may collect information directly from you and handle it under their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review their policies before submitting information to them.

- Unsubscribe or opt out of optional email communications using the instructions in those messages, when available.

State privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under state law, such as rights to know, access, correct, delete, or opt out of certain uses of personal information. Dads for Dads is a nonprofit organization, and some state consumer privacy laws may not apply to us in the same way they apply to for-profit businesses. Even so, we will make reasonable efforts to respond to privacy requests.
To make a privacy request, contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request, and we may keep information when necessary for security, legal, tax, donation, moderation, or operational reasons.
Data retention
We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operating the website, managing accounts, maintaining donation and nonprofit records, resolving disputes, enforcing rules, securing the site, and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods may vary based on the type of information and the reason we collected it.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No website, email system, database, or internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International visitors
Dads for Dads is based in the United States. If you access the website from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the website after an update means the updated policy applies to your use going forward.
