Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 29, 2026

The Lucky Foundation (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We respect your privacy. This policy explains what we collect through luckyfdn.org, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have. By using this site you agree to this policy.

Information We Collect

Information you give us. When you use our contact, scholarship, volunteer or newsletter forms, we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address and the contents of your message. We ask you not to send sensitive personal information, financial account numbers or health information through this site.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our analytics provider may collect limited technical data such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed and referring page, through cookies and similar technologies. Analytics do not run until you accept cookies.

Cookies and Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. We apply Google Consent Mode, so analytics and advertising storage are disabled by default and are only enabled if you select “Accept” in our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser storage for this site, which will bring the banner back. You can also opt out of Google Analytics using Google’s browser add-on.

How We Use Your Information

• To respond to your messages and inquiries.
• To review and follow up on scholarship and volunteer submissions.
• To send updates if you subscribe to our newsletter.
• To operate, maintain, secure and improve the site.
• To comply with law and protect our rights.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate, and only as needed:

• Netlify (website hosting and form handling).
• Resend (transactional email delivery).
• Supabase (secure database storage of submissions).
• Givebutter or similar platforms (donation processing).
• Google Analytics (site usage measurement).

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the safety, rights or property of others.

Legal Bases (EEA/UK Visitors)

If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we process your information based on your consent (for analytics and newsletters), our legitimate interests (to respond to you and run the site securely), and to comply with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Data Retention

We keep submission information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, then delete or anonymize it.

Your Rights and Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or port your information, to object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. California residents have the right to know, delete and correct personal information, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

We do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined under California law, and we do not use it for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise any right, email us at kristina.manuel@luckyfdn.org and we will respond as required by law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

International Visitors

We operate in the United States. If you access the site from outside the U.S., your information will be processed in the U.S., which may have different data protection laws than your country.

Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Health Information

The Lucky Foundation is not a healthcare provider, health plan or healthcare clearinghouse, and this website is not intended to collect protected health information. Please do not submit medical or health information through our forms. Our wellness and healing program pages are educational and partner-supported, and are not medical advice.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version here with an updated date.
