Privacy Policy

Cared By Koleson ("we", "us", "our") operates caredbykoleson.com. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and your choices. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run this website and stay in touch with our community.

Information we collect

• No on-site forms. This website does not host its own contact, inquiry, or sign-up form, so we do not collect personal information directly through the site.
• Donations. Donations are handled off-site by PayPal. When you donate, the payment and any information you provide are collected and processed by PayPal under PayPal's own privacy policy. We receive only the donation record PayPal shares with us.
• Messages through social media. If you reach out through our Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, or podcast channels, anything you share is handled under those platforms' own terms and privacy policies.
• Embedded content. Our Get Connected page can load posts from Facebook, Spotify, and TikTok, but only if you choose to load them. When you do, those providers may set their own cookies and receive your device information under their privacy policies. See our Cookie Policy.
• Basic technical information. Like most websites, our host records standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) for security and reliability.
• Analytics. We do not use analytics or tracking cookies of our own.

How we use your information

• To respond to you when you reach out to us.
• To operate, secure, and improve this website.

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling.

Cookies

This website sets no tracking or advertising cookies of its own. The only third-party cookies come from the Facebook, Spotify, and TikTok posts we embed on our Get Connected page, and only if you choose to load them. See our Cookie Policy.

Data retention & security

We keep any information you send us only as long as needed to respond and for our reasonable records, then delete it. Consistent with the New York SHIELD Act, we maintain reasonable safeguards to protect the personal information of New York residents. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.

Your choices

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information you have given us by contacting us through our Cared By Koleson Facebook page. Information you shared through PayPal or a social platform is also subject to those providers' own controls.

Children

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

We may update this policy; the effective date above shows the latest version.
