Privacy Policy
Safe & Sound Hillsborough respects your privacy. This policy explains, in plain language, what information this website collects, how it is used, and the choices you have.
Who we are
Safe & Sound Hillsborough, 1907 E Hillsborough Avenue, Tampa, FL 33610 · info@safeandsoundhillsborough.org · (813) 327-8317 ext. 402. We are the organization responsible for this website.
Information you give us
You can use most of this website without telling us who you are. We receive personal information only when you choose to share it, for example when you:
- contact us or ask a question;
- register for an event or training;
- apply to volunteer, mentor, or partner with us;
- request a speaker or apply for a mini grant.
Depending on the form, this may include your name, email address, phone number, organization, and the details you type into the form. We use it only to respond to you, run the program or event you asked about, and keep the records a nonprofit is required to keep.
Event registration, donations and applications
Some registrations, applications and donations are handled by trusted outside providers (for example an event-ticketing service, an online form service, or PayPal for donations). When you follow a link to one of these services, the information you enter is collected by that provider under its own privacy policy. We never ask you to enter payment card details on this website itself.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our servers record basic technical information when pages are requested, such as the page visited, the date and time, and the type of browser or device. This helps us keep the site secure and working properly.
Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are visited and how people find the site, so we can improve it. Analytics cookies are set only after you accept them in the cookie notice; you can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer. IP addresses are anonymized and we do not use analytics for advertising. Google describes how it handles this data at policies.google.com/privacy.
Embedded content. Pages may embed videos (for example from YouTube) or maps. Those services may set their own cookies when the embedded content loads.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. This website uses:
- Essential cookies that make the site work, such as remembering the choices you make in the accessibility tool and the cookie notice.
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics), only with your consent.
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work.
How we protect information
We use industry-standard safeguards to protect this website and the information it handles, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), security monitoring, regular updates and backups, and access limited to the people who need it to do their work. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your information responsibly.
Sharing
We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. We share it only with the people and providers who help us run our programs and this website (bound by confidentiality), when a program’s funder requires reporting, or when the law requires it.
Children and youth
Many of our programs serve young people. This website is not designed to collect personal information from children under 13 without a parent or guardian. Event registrations for minors should be completed by a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has given us personal information without consent, contact us and we will remove it.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected and as required by our funders and the law, then delete or anonymize it.
Your choices and rights
You may ask us to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop contacting you, by emailing info@safeandsoundhillsborough.org. We will respond within a reasonable time.
Links to other websites
This site links to partner organizations and services we do not control. Their privacy practices are their own; please review their policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date below shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
