Privacy Policy

1. About This Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how First Love Movement ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website (flm.myguardianshield.org) or interact with our organization. First Love Movement is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 86-2792334).

We are committed to protecting the privacy of every visitor, including children and families we serve. We do not sell personal information.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We may collect information you voluntarily provide when you:

• Make a donation through our Stripe-powered donation pages
• Contact us by email or phone
• Subscribe to updates (collected only with your explicit consent)

Donation transactions are processed by Stripe, Inc. We receive confirmation of a completed donation, donor name, and email address. We do not store full payment card information on our servers.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we collect basic analytics data through privacy-respecting tools: page views, general geographic region (country/state, not precise location), device type, and referral source. This data is aggregated and is not linked to individual identities.

We do not use cross-site tracking cookies or behavioral advertising technology.

3. Children's Privacy (COPPA Notice)

First Love Movement's website is designed for parents, caregivers, and adults interested in supporting children and families. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the address below and we will promptly delete it.

If you are a parent or guardian and have questions about how we handle information relating to minors in our programs, please contact us directly.

4. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Process and acknowledge donations
• Respond to inquiries and requests for information
• Send program updates and newsletters, if requested
• Improve the website's content and usability
• Comply with legal obligations (e.g., IRS charitable contribution acknowledgment)

We do not share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share information with service providers (such as Stripe for payment processing) who are bound by confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your information for any purpose other than fulfilling services on our behalf.

5. Donation Data

Donations are processed by Stripe. Stripe's privacy policy governs the data they collect during payment processing. We receive a record of completed donations including donor name, email, and donation amount for the purposes of donor acknowledgment and IRS record-keeping requirements for charitable contributions.

Donors who wish to receive an acknowledgment letter for tax purposes may contact us with their donation date and amount.

6. Cookies

Our website uses minimal cookies necessary for basic site functionality (such as session management). We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements
• Opt out of email communications at any time by replying to any email or contacting us directly

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the information below. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Links to Third-Party Sites

Our website may contain links to other websites, including Stripe donation pages and external resources. These sites have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect information. However, no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us immediately.
