Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 19, 2026
Website: https://loveunites.org

1. Introduction

Love Unites respects the privacy of our website visitors, donors, volunteers, and supporters.

Love Unites is the public-facing identity being developed by the organization formerly known as Latinos Unidos Fundación Inc., also known as LU Foundation. During this transition, personal information may be processed in connection with the organization’s existing systems and payment arrangements.

This Privacy Policy explains the categories of information we may collect, how that information may be used and shared, and the choices available to you.

The exact information collected depends on the features you use and the services enabled on our website.

2. Information We May Collect

Information You Provide

Depending on your interaction with us, we may collect:

• Name and contact details, such as email address, telephone number, and mailing address.
• Donation amount, date, frequency, designation, and transaction reference.
• Information you submit through contact forms, volunteer inquiries, or other communications.
• Information you voluntarily provide when requesting information or participating in an initiative.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through general contact forms unless it is specifically requested through an appropriate and secure process.

Payment Information

When you make a donation, payment details may be collected and processed by our third-party payment provider.

The payment provider may process payment-card or other financial information to authorize and complete transactions, detect fraud, and meet legal or regulatory requirements.

The information made available to us may include the transaction amount, date, status, payment method details, and a limited payment reference. The precise information depends on the provider and our configuration.

We do not intend to collect full payment-card numbers or security codes through ordinary website forms.

Technical and Usage Information

Our website, hosting provider, security tools, or enabled analytics services may collect technical information such as:

• IP address and general device information.
• Browser type and operating system.
• Pages visited and interactions with the website.
• Approximate location derived from technical information.
• Dates, times, and diagnostic or security logs.

The information actually collected depends on the services enabled on the website.

3. How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

• Process and acknowledge donations.
• Send transaction confirmations and donation receipts where appropriate.
• Respond to questions and requests.
• Communicate about charitable initiatives when permitted.
• Maintain donation and organizational records.
• Operate, troubleshoot, and improve the website.
• Help prevent fraud, unauthorized activity, and security incidents.
• Meet applicable legal, accounting, and reporting obligations.
• Protect our organization, supporters, and systems.

We do not intend to use donor information for purposes incompatible with the reason it was collected.

4. Email Communications

We may send messages necessary to complete a donation, respond to an inquiry, or provide important information about a transaction.

If we send optional fundraising or promotional emails, we will provide an appropriate way to unsubscribe where required. Unsubscribing from optional communications will not prevent us from sending essential transaction-related messages.

We will not knowingly misrepresent the identity of the organization sending a message.

5. How Information May Be Shared

We may share relevant information with service providers when necessary to operate the website or carry out our activities, including:

• Payment processors and donation-platform providers.
• Website hosting, maintenance, and security providers.
• Email and communication service providers.
• Analytics or technical service providers enabled on the website.
• Professional advisers, auditors, or service providers who need the information for legitimate organizational purposes.

These providers may process information under their own terms and applicable contractual or legal obligations.

We may also disclose information when required by law, in response to valid legal process, to protect rights or safety, or to address suspected fraud or security issues.

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. Before publishing this statement, we will review the website’s advertising, analytics, and tracking tools to ensure that our actual practices support it and comply with applicable law.

6. Donor Privacy

We treat donor information with care and limit access to people and service providers who need it for legitimate purposes.

We do not intend to publicly display a donor’s name, donation amount, or contact details without appropriate permission, except where disclosure is required by law or another lawful basis applies.

If we publish donor recognition, testimonials, or acknowledgments, we will take reasonable steps to respect the donor’s stated preferences and applicable requirements.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website or its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies to support essential website functions, remember preferences, maintain security, or understand website usage.

The specific cookies and technologies used depend on the WordPress configuration and the plugins or third-party services enabled.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Where required by law, we will provide appropriate notice and obtain consent for non-essential tracking technologies.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and loss.

No website, online transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot promise absolute security, but we aim to handle information responsibly and limit collection and access to what is reasonably necessary.

9. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including processing donations, maintaining organizational and financial records, responding to disputes, preventing fraud, and meeting applicable legal requirements.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods. We may securely delete or de-identify information when it is no longer reasonably required, subject to applicable retention obligations.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or information about certain personal data.

You may also be able to opt out of optional email communications or adjust cookie settings through your browser.

To make a privacy request, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. Some information may need to be retained where required by law or necessary to complete a transaction, maintain required records, or establish or defend legal claims.

11. Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for general audiences and donors. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information directly from children through ordinary website forms.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information inappropriately, please contact us so we can review the matter and take appropriate steps.

Where an initiative involves children, information should be collected and handled only through appropriate procedures and with any required permissions.

12. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to external websites or services. Those sites operate under their own privacy policies and practices.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party service you use. We are not responsible for the independent privacy practices of websites we do not operate.

13. International Visitors

Our website may be accessed from the United States and other countries. Depending on the services used, information may be processed or stored in countries other than the one where you live.

Where applicable law requires specific safeguards or disclosures for international data transfers, we will address those requirements as applicable to our operations.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, services, or legal obligations change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
