Privacy Policy

The Tracker Empowerment Foundation ("the Foundation", "we", "us" or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you use this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site you agree to the practices described here.

Who we are

The Tracker Empowerment Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation incorporated in Connecticut, USA. You can reach us at kersey@originalwisdom.com or by mail at Ledyard, Connecticut, USA.

Information we collect

Information you give us

• Contact enquiries. When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, chosen subject and message so we can respond.
• Donations. When you make a donation, payment is processed by our third-party payment providers, Stripe and our online bank, Mercury. We receive limited details such as your name, email address and the amount given. We do not collect or store your full card number or security code; that information is handled directly by the payment provider.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit. This is used for security and to understand how the site is used. We do not use this information to identify you personally.

How we use your information

• To respond to your enquiries and requests.
• To process and acknowledge donations, and to keep accurate financial records.
• To administer and improve our programmes and this website.
• To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

How we share information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us operate (for example, our payment provider and email or hosting providers), and only as needed to provide their service. We may also disclose information where required by law, or to protect the rights, safety and property of the Foundation, our supporters, or others.

Cookies and analytics

This site uses minimal cookies needed for it to function. If we introduce analytics in future to understand site usage, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent.

Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described above, or as required to meet legal, accounting and reporting obligations.

Your rights

You may ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop contacting you. To make a request, email kersey@originalwisdom.com and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Children's privacy

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

International visitors

The Foundation operates from the United States. If you access this site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be reflected on this page.
