Privacy Policy
The NW Sarcoma Foundation (NWSF) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you interact with us, including through our website, social media platforms, events, and any other services we provide.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Most importantly, we do not share your opt-in/out information with anyone, outside of the NWSF. However, we may share your information in the following circumstances:

Service Providers: With trusted third-party vendors who assist us in delivering our services (e.g., payment processors, event management systems). These providers are required to keep your information confidential and secure.
Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of NWSF, our community, or others.
Consent: When you provide explicit consent for sharing your information.

4. How We Protect Your Information

We implement a variety of security measures to protect your personal information, including secure servers, encryption of sensitive information, and restricted access to personal data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You have the right to:

Access and review the personal information we hold about you.
Request corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete information.
Opt-out of receiving promotional communications by following the unsubscribe link in emails, on the registration sites, or by contacting us directly.
Request that we delete your personal information, except when we are required to retain it for legal or operational reasons.

6. Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on our website, and the effective date will be updated. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any updates.
