Embedded Content from Other Websites

Some pages may include embedded content (e.g., videos, maps, or forms from third-party services). Embedded content behaves just as if you visited the originating website. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, or track your interaction.

• Maintain website functionality

These providers receive only the data necessary to perform their services and are contractually obligated to keep it secure.

How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain your data only as long as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. For example:

• Donation records may be retained for tax and accounting purposes

• User account data is kept for as long as your account is active or as required by law
