This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and disclose “Personal Information” when you engage with our communication platforms.

We will not sell, rent, or otherwise share your personal data to third parties for promotional/marketing purposes. We may share your information with service providers for necessary business operations, like donor management, in accordance with the service provider’s Privacy Policy. We may disclose your Personal Information if required to do so by law, or if we believe it is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect DC Abortion Fund’s rights, or address security concerns.
To create meaningful interactions with our community, we may collect certain personally identifiable information (e.g., your name, email address, postal address, phone number, etc.). This information is used to:
Respond to inquiries and connect with you
Manage event registrations
Maintain our email/text communication registries
Share related updates and opportunities that align with our mission
We will never sell or misuse your Personal Information and will only use it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Security:
We prioritize protecting your Personal Information through commercially reasonable practices, including SSL encryption and secure data storage. However, no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we are committed to safeguarding your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
