Privacy Policy
Effective October 2026
Our commitment
CharisWorks respects the privacy of people who visit our website, contact us, volunteer, support our work, seek assistance, or otherwise interact with the organization. We aim to collect and use only information reasonably necessary for legitimate CharisWorks purposes and to handle non-public information with reasonable care.
Information we may collect
Depending on how you interact with CharisWorks, information may include your name, contact information, messages or requests you send us, volunteer or partnership information, and information reasonably needed to respond to an assistance request or administer a CharisWorks activity. If donation functionality is added in the future, payment processing may be handled by a third-party payment provider under its own privacy practices.
How we use information
We may use information to respond to inquiries and requests, coordinate volunteers and partnerships, provide or develop charitable services, maintain organizational records, communicate about CharisWorks activities, protect the organization and the people we serve, and comply with applicable legal or administrative requirements.
Information sharing
CharisWorks does not sell personal information. We may share information when reasonably necessary with authorized volunteers, contractors, service providers, community partners, or other persons assisting with an authorized CharisWorks purpose. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or organizational operations.
Data minimization and security
We seek to limit collection, access, use, and sharing of personal or sensitive information to what is reasonably necessary. CharisWorks uses reasonable administrative and practical safeguards appropriate to its developing operations. No website, email system, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Third-party services and links
Our website or communications may use or link to services operated by third parties. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and CharisWorks is not responsible for third-party websites or services that it does not control.
Children's information
CharisWorks does not intend this website as a service for children to independently submit sensitive personal information. When programs or activities involve minors, CharisWorks may establish additional consent and information-handling procedures appropriate to the activity.
Changes to this policy
CharisWorks may update this Privacy Policy as its programs, website, technology, and legal obligations develop. The effective date above will be updated when material revisions are published.
