Privacy Policy

We may collect the following categories of personal information from you:

Identifiers

• Name, email address, phone number (if you provide it)
• IP address, device identifiers
• Information about a nominated veteran — name, service details, and contact information — submitted by you through the Nominate a Veteran form. You confirm you have their permission before submitting.

Internet / Network Activity

• Pages visited, links clicked, browser type, date/time stamps
• Bot-protection signals on our forms. We use Cloudflare Turnstile to protect our contact and event forms from automated spam and abuse. Turnstile is a privacy-preserving security service that does not use tracking cookies or sell personal data; it assesses whether a submission is likely human using technical signals (such as browser characteristics and interaction data). It is used only for security and is treated as a strictly necessary function.

We do not sell your personal information for money or other valuable consideration. Under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), however, certain activities that benefit advertising partners can qualify as sharing personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising — even if no money changes hands.

Categories of recipients

• Service providers who process information on our behalf under contract — our CRM and messaging platform (GoHighLevel / LeadConnector), which receives form submissions and nominations and stores the contact details you provide, our bot-protection provider (Cloudflare Turnstile), our web host (Hostinger), and Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager, only with your consent
• Legal recipients when required by court order, subpoena, or to comply with applicable law
• Business transfer recipients in the event of a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or part of our assets

Donations are made through Zeffy or Venmo on their own sites; we never receive your payment details.

We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights:

• Right to know what personal information we have collected about you, the sources, the purposes, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it
• Right to delete personal information we have collected from you (subject to legal and operational exceptions)
• Right to correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you
• Right to opt out of sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising
• Right to limit use of sensitive personal information to that which is necessary to perform the services you requested
• Right to non-discrimination — we will not deny you services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of quality because you exercised any of these rights
• Right to data portability — receive a copy of your personal information in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, see Your Privacy Choices below or email us at caleb@gunsupwaterfowl.org, or use the contact form. We will verify your identity using information we already have on file before fulfilling the request. Authorized agents may submit requests on your behalf with written authorization.

We will respond within 45 days. If we need more time (up to 90 days total), we will notify you in writing with the reason.

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and, where consented, measure performance. Specifically:

Strictly necessary

• Session and security cookies required for the Site to function
• Form submission and CSRF protection

Analytics

• Google Analytics 4 via Google Tag Manager — measures aggregate traffic patterns, page performance, and content engagement. Loaded only with your consent, and configured with IP anonymization and standard retention.

How to control them

The first time you visit this site, a small notice asks you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. We use Klaro! — an open-source, self-hosted consent manager that does not itself collect data about your choices. You can change your selection any time by clicking Cookie preferences or by visiting Your Privacy Choices above.

You can also clear and block cookies through your browser settings, or use a browser that supports Global Privacy Control (Brave, DuckDuckGo, Firefox with Privacy Badger) to signal your privacy preference automatically.

Our Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
