The Humility, Kindness & Love Foundation (“HKL,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to treating your personal information with care and responsibility.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit HKL.org, join the HKL community, register for an HKL event or experience, volunteer with us, communicate with us, or otherwise participate in HKL activities.

Information We Collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• City, state or province, and country
• Preferred language
• Communication preferences
• Volunteer interests, skills, and availability
• Event registrations and participation information
• Referral information
• Information you provide through forms, surveys, daily check ins, or communications with HKL
• Any other information you choose to provide

You are not required to provide information that is not necessary for the activity in which you choose to participate.

We may also automatically collect certain technical information when you use our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, and information about how you interact with our website.

Where appropriate, we may use information such as browser settings or an IP address to infer general information such as preferred language or approximate geographic location.

How We Use Your Information

We may use your information to:

• Provide and operate HKL’s website, programs, events, community, and services
• Maintain and support your relationship with HKL
• Register you for events, programs, volunteer opportunities, or community activities
• Send communications that you have chosen to receive
• Respond to your questions and requests
• Personalize and improve your experience
• Understand participation in HKL programs and activities
• Analyze and improve our website, communications, programs, and global outreach
• Maintain the security and integrity of our systems

Communications and Your Choices

Depending on the information and preferences you provide, HKL may communicate with you through email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp, or other communication channels.

Where appropriate, you may choose which types of communications you would like to receive.

You may unsubscribe from HKL marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those emails. You may also contact us to change your communication preferences.

Unsubscribing from a particular communication channel does not necessarily end your relationship with the HKL community. For example, choosing not to receive the HKL email newsletter does not by itself mean that you no longer wish to participate in HKL.

How We Share Information

HKL does not sell or rent your personal information.

We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate our website, maintain our technology systems, communicate with our community, manage events, analyze engagement, or provide other services on our behalf.

These may include providers of email and communications services, database and cloud infrastructure, community platforms, event and registration systems, website services, forms, and analytics.

We use Brevo to help manage and deliver email communications. Information submitted for these communications may be processed by Brevo in accordance with its applicable privacy and data processing terms.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, protect the rights or safety of HKL or others, or prevent fraud, abuse, or security threats.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

HKL.org may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and improve the experience.

Some technologies may be provided by third party service providers.

Where required, we will provide appropriate choices regarding nonessential cookies or similar technologies.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to maintain our relationship with you, to meet legitimate operational needs, and to comply with applicable legal obligations.

Different types of information may be retained for different periods.

We may retain limited information when necessary to honor your communication preferences. For example, if you unsubscribe from email communications, we may retain your email address on a suppression list so that we can respect your request not to receive those communications.

Your Information and Choices

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

Regardless of location, you may contact HKL to request that we:

• Provide information about personal information we maintain about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Update your communication preferences
• Delete personal information where appropriate
• Address questions or concerns about how your information is used

Certain information may need to be retained when required by law, for security purposes, or to honor requests such as an email unsubscribe.

Requests can be sent to info@HKL.org. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No system or method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Third Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by other organizations. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and HKL is not responsible for the privacy practices of third party websites or services.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our activities, technology, or legal obligations evolve.

When we make changes, we will post the updated Privacy Policy on this page and update the “Last Updated” date above. If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
