Information We Collect

We may collect personal information when you apply for assistance, apply to volunteer, make a donation, fill out a form, or contact us.

This information may include your name, address, phone number, email address, household details, employment information, volunteer activity, and donation information.

For homeowner applications, we request financial eligibility documentation such as tax returns, proof of income, and proof of benefits. Applicants are instructed to redact Social Security numbers and bank account numbers before submitting documents.

We may also collect limited technical information, such as IP address and browser type, to help maintain website security and improve performance.

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

How We Protect Your Information

We take the protection of your information seriously.

Financial documents are accessible only to authorized staff and designated reviewers. Our online application system uses secure, encrypted connections to protect information during submission. We use reputable third-party service providers to host our website, manage forms, process donations, and securely store records.

We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers and it is important to note that we do not ever request credit card numbers or payment of any sort from clients. Access to any other sensitive information is limited to individuals who need it to perform their responsibilities.

While no system can guarantee absolute security, we use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information.

Sharing of Information

We may share information only with trusted service providers who help us operate our programs, when required by law, or when necessary to protect the safety and rights of the organization or others.

We do not share personal information for marketing purposes.
