Yelloux Cove Foundation (“Yelloux Cove Foundation,” “YCF,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and protected when you visit our website, sign up for communications, contact us, access our resources, make a donation, or otherwise interact with Yelloux Cove Foundation online.
Yelloux Cove Foundation is a nonprofit organization supporting family caregivers and families caring for loved ones with mental, developmental, cognitive, and other disabilities.

Because our work relates to caregiving and disability, visitors may sometimes choose to describe personal or family circumstances when contacting us. Please do not submit medical records, Social Security numbers, insurance identification numbers, financial account information, or other highly sensitive information through a general website form unless Yelloux Cove Foundation specifically requests it and provides an appropriate method for submitting it.
Information Collected Automatically
When you use our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our website host, security tools, analytics services, cookies, or similar technologies. This information may include:
Internet Protocol (IP) address

General website usage information
Cookie or similar technology identifiers
We may use this information to operate the website, understand how visitors use it, improve accessibility and content, identify technical problems, and protect the website from fraud, spam, abuse, or security threats.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies that help the website function, remember preferences, measure website traffic, provide security, or support features supplied by third-party services.
Your browser may allow you to block, limit, or delete cookies. Disabling some cookies may affect how certain parts of the website function.
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals. Because there is not one universally applied standard for all such signals, our website may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track request. Third-party services used on the website may have their own tracking and privacy practices.

You may unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter emails at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in the message or by contacting us.
Donations and Payment Information
If you make a donation through our website, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment processor or fundraising platform.
Yelloux Cove Foundation does not intend to collect or store complete credit or debit card numbers directly through its general website forms. Payment processors may collect information necessary to complete a transaction according to their own privacy policies and security practices.
How Information May Be Shared
Yelloux Cove Foundation does not sell or rent personal information as a source of revenue.
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to organizations or service providers that help us operate the website or conduct nonprofit activities. These may include:
Website hosting providers
Email and newsletter providers
Website form providers
Donation and payment processors
Analytics providers
Website security and spam-prevention services
Technology or administrative service providers
These third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies, contracts, and legal obligations.
We may also disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is required by law, legal process, court order, governmental request, or when necessary to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of Yelloux Cove Foundation, website visitors, or others.
Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to outside organizations, government agencies, health systems, advocacy organizations, service providers, publications, or other third-party websites.
A link does not mean that Yelloux Cove Foundation controls that website or its privacy practices. Once you leave our website, the privacy policy of the outside website applies.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended primarily for family caregivers, families, professionals, community members, supporters, and others seeking caregiver-related information. It is not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate authorization. If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child under 13 has submitted personal information to us through this website, please contact us so that we can review and, when appropriate, delete the information.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate organizational records, to comply with legal obligations, or to resolve disputes.
Different types of information may be kept for different periods.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information handled through our website.
However, no website, email system, online form, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For that reason, visitors should avoid sending highly sensitive or confidential information through ordinary website forms or email unless an appropriate secure method has been provided.

Depending on the information involved and applicable law, you may contact us to:
Ask what personal information you previously provided to us
Request correction of inaccurate information

Unsubscribe from communications
Ask questions about our privacy practices
Certain records may need to be retained when required by law, financial recordkeeping requirements, nonprofit reporting obligations, legitimate organizational needs, or other applicable requirements.

Yelloux Cove Foundation is a nonprofit organization. The California Consumer Privacy Act generally does not apply to nonprofit organizations.
Nevertheless, Yelloux Cove Foundation believes visitors should be able to understand how information is handled and may voluntarily respond to reasonable privacy requests when practicable and consistent with legal and organizational recordkeeping requirements.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, programs, technology, service providers, or legal obligations change.
