Introduction

The ABLE Foundation respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how The ABLE Foundation collects, uses, protects, and handles personal information when you visit our website, contact us, submit a form, make a donation through available website functionality, express interest in a program, or opt in to SMS communications.

Information We May Collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, organization or school affiliation, areas of interest, inquiry details, application information, and other information you submit through website forms or communications.

When donation functionality is available, information associated with a transaction may also be collected or processed as necessary to complete and document the contribution.

We may also receive technical information associated with website use, such as browser type, device information, IP address, referring pages, and general website interaction information, depending on the technologies used on the website.

How We Use Information

We may use personal information to respond to inquiries, administer website forms, communicate about programs and scholarship opportunities, process or administer donations, manage sponsorship and partnership inquiries, support volunteer or event activities, maintain records, improve website operations, provide customer support, protect against misuse, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

How Information May Be Disclosed

The ABLE Foundation does not sell personal information.

Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to operate the website or Foundation activities, including to service providers acting on behalf of the Foundation for functions such as website hosting, communications, form processing, payment processing, data storage, or other operational support.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law, legal process, or a valid governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of The ABLE Foundation or others.

SMS consent and opt-in information will not be sold, rented, or shared with third parties for their marketing or promotional purposes.

SMS Communications

When you opt in to receive SMS communications, we may collect your phone number, your name if voluntarily provided or associated with your number, message content, opt-in and opt-out status, and the date and time of messages.

We use SMS information to send communications you have consented to receive, respond to inquiries, provide customer support, send relevant notifications or confirmations, and manage communication preferences.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help. Reply STOP to any message to opt out.

Data Security & Retention

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

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, administer Foundation activities, maintain appropriate records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, or satisfy applicable legal and operational requirements.

Children's Privacy

The Foundation's student scholarship initiatives may involve graduating high school students, some of whom may be under 18. The general website is not designed to knowingly solicit unnecessary personal information from children. When future scholarship applications involve minors, The ABLE Foundation may establish additional consent, parent or guardian authorization, and information-handling procedures appropriate to the applicable program and law.
