The Last Ones Foundation (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and share personal information when you visit thelastones.com, contact us, subscribe to updates, or make a donation.
Our website currently does not offer visitor accounts or require registration to browse survivor stories and other public content.
Information you provide. When you contact us or subscribe to our updates, we may receive your name, email address, and any information you choose to include in your message.
Donation information. When you donate through Zeffy, we may receive information associated with your donation, including your name, email address, mailing address, donation amount, transaction date, and responses to questions on the donation form.
Technical information. Our website and its service providers may collect information such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring website, and access times. This information supports website operation, security, and troubleshooting.
We use personal information to:
Respond to inquiries and requests.
Administer donations, maintain donation records, and provide acknowledgments or receipts.
Send updates you have requested.
Operate, maintain, and protect our website.
Meet applicable accounting, legal, and regulatory obligations.
Our online donation forms are provided by Zeffy, a third-party fundraising platform. When you enter information into a Zeffy form, Zeffy and its payment-processing providers handle that information to process your donation and provide related services.
We receive donor and transaction information needed to administer donations. We do not receive your full payment card number or card security code through the donation form.
Zeffy may offer donor account features on its own platform. These are separate from our website, which does not currently offer visitor accounts.
For details about Zeffy’s collection, use, storage, and disclosure of information, please review Zeffy’s Privacy Policy.
If you subscribe to our newsletter or request updates, we use the information you provide to send those communications.
You can unsubscribe using the link in our marketing emails or contact us using the details below. Unsubscribing from marketing messages does not prevent necessary communications about an existing donation or a request you have submitted.
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality and security.
Pages may also contain embedded videos, donation forms, or other content supplied by third parties. Those providers may receive technical information about your visit and use cookies or similar technologies under their own privacy policies.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect features such as embedded videos or donation forms.
We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website, process donations, deliver communications, host content, or maintain security.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, prevent fraud, or protect the rights and safety of our organization and others.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to requests, administering donations, maintaining required records, and meeting legal obligations.
Some donation and accounting records may need to be retained even after you request deletion of other information.
We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can guarantee absolute security.
Please do not send payment card details or other sensitive financial information through ordinary email or our contact forms. Use the designated donation form for payments.
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you.
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have additional rights, including rights to restrict or object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or receive a copy of your information.
We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. Some requests may be limited by applicable legal requirements.
For information held independently by Zeffy or another third-party provider, you may also need to contact that provider directly.
Our educational content may be viewed by young people. Children under 13 should not submit personal information through our contact, newsletter, or donation forms without appropriate involvement from a parent or guardian.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate authorization, please contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Our website links to external websites, including news publishers, social media platforms, and thelastones.education. This policy covers thelastones.com. When you visit another website, review the privacy information applicable to that website.
We may update this policy as our website, services, or information practices change. The date at the top indicates when this policy was last revised.
