Make Kids Matter (“Make Kids Matter,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 99-4496638) based in Glendale, Arizona. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
We collect information you choose to provide through our website, such as when you fill out a form, register for a program, request assistance, sign up for updates, volunteer, or make a donation. This may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing or zip code, and any details you include in your message or request. When you register a child for a program, we collect the information you provide about that child on your behalf as the parent or guardian.
We also automatically collect limited technical information when you visit our site, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you use our pages. This helps us keep the site secure and improve it.
We use artificial intelligence (AI) tools and third-party AI services to help us operate efficiently. For example, we may use AI to help draft and respond to communications, organize and summarize information, answer common questions, generate content and program materials, and support our outreach and programs. Information you submit through our website or communications may be processed by these AI and third-party tools.
AI-generated content is reviewed by our team, and we do not use AI to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you. Because AI outputs can contain errors, please do not rely on automated responses as professional, legal, medical, or financial advice, and please avoid submitting sensitive personal information you would not want processed by third-party tools.
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share information only with trusted service providers that help us operate our website and programs (for example, form and email delivery services and payment processors), and only as needed to provide those services. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect the safety and rights of others.
We rely on trusted third-party providers to operate our website and programs. These may include website hosting and security, online form and survey tools, email and communication platforms, workflow automation tools, artificial intelligence services, website analytics, and donation and payment processors. These providers process information only as needed to provide their services to us, and some may store or process data on servers located outside of Arizona or the United States.
Donations made through our website are handled by third-party payment processors. We do not collect or store your full payment card details on our servers. Please review the privacy practices of the payment processor used at checkout.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to help the site function and to understand how visitors use it. You can control cookies through your browser settings. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.
Our website is directed to parents, guardians, donors, volunteers, and supporters, not to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through this website. Information about children is provided to us by a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has provided us information directly, please contact us and we will delete it.
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We keep personal information only for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to maintain our records, and to meet legal, tax, and reporting obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.
You may opt out of our emails at any time using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us. You may also request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you by emailing us at the address below.
By providing your contact information, you agree that we may contact you by email, phone, or text message about our programs, events, requests, and updates. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link, or opt out of text messages by replying STOP. Message and data rates may apply.
Our site may link to third-party websites we do not control. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.
Information provided through our website, programs, and communications, including AI-assisted content, is for general informational purposes only and is not professional, legal, medical, financial, or tax advice. Please consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date above reflects the most recent version.
