When you enter payment information directly into a third-party payment processor, that provider processes the information according to its own privacy and security policies.
The Next Chapter Fund does not intend to store complete credit-card or debit-card numbers on its own website when transactions are processed by an independent payment provider.
Depending upon the payment method selected, you may be redirected to another website or payment service to complete your transaction.
The privacy policy and terms of that provider will apply to information submitted directly to that provider.
The Federal Trade Commission recommends that online charitable organizations clearly explain how donations are handled and whether donor information may be shared. (Federal Trade Commission)

8. COOKIES AND WEBSITE ANALYTICS
Our website and the companies that provide services to our website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small pieces of information that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.
They may help us:
Remember website preferences
Understand how visitors use our website
Measure website performance
Improve website functionality
Identify technical problems
Maintain website security
Some cookies may be provided by third-party services, including website hosting providers, analytics providers, embedded content providers, social media platforms, or payment services.
You may be able to control certain cookies through your browser settings or through a cookie preference tool if one is available on our website.
Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
9. DO NOT TRACK AND PRIVACY PREFERENCE SIGNALS
Some internet browsers allow users to send a “Do Not Track” signal.
Because there is not one universally implemented standard for every Do Not Track signal, our website's response may depend on the technology and services used by our website provider.
Where applicable law requires us to recognize a legally valid privacy preference signal, we will seek to comply with applicable requirements.
California guidance specifically recommends explaining how a website handles Do Not Track mechanisms and whether third parties may collect information through the website. (California Department of Justice)
10. HOW WE MAY SHARE INFORMATION
The Next Chapter Fund may share information when reasonably necessary with organizations or providers that assist us in operating our programs and website, including:
Website hosting providers
Payment processors
Financial institutions
Event registration services
Email and communication providers
Professional advisers
Accountants
Attorneys
Technology providers
Analytics providers
Fundraising service providers
Program partners
Government or regulatory authorities when legally required
These organizations may receive only the information reasonably necessary to provide the applicable service.
We may also disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:
Comply with applicable law
Respond to a lawful request
Protect our organization
Protect our website
Investigate fraud
Protect the rights or safety of another person
Enforce our website policies or agreements
11. WE DO NOT SELL PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Next Chapter Fund does not sell personal information in exchange for money.
If our practices materially change in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any notices or choices required by applicable law.
12. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES
Our website may contain links to other websites or services, including:
Payment processors
Social media platforms
Ticketing or event websites
Business sponsors
Community partners
Donation services
Video platforms
Other organizations
When you leave The Next Chapter Fund website and visit another website, that organization's privacy policy applies.
We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or data-handling practices of third-party websites.
Third-party services may have privacy practices different from ours. (Federal Trade Commission)
13. DATA SECURITY
The Next Chapter Fund takes reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical measures designed to protect personal information.
However, no website, email system, online payment system, electronic transmission, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You should use caution when transmitting sensitive information over the internet.
When payment information is collected through a third-party payment processor, that provider is responsible for maintaining its own security practices.

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
Provide services or programs
Maintain donation and financial records
Fulfill the purpose for which the information was collected
Maintain appropriate organizational records
Resolve disputes
Prevent fraud
Meet legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements
When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it in accordance with our record-retention practices and applicable law.
15. CHILDREN AND MINORS
The Next Chapter Fund is committed to protecting the privacy of children and young people.
Our general website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under age 13 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement where required by law.
Because The Next Chapter Fund may offer mentorships, internships, educational opportunities, youth initiatives, or other community programs, information concerning a minor may sometimes be necessary for program participation.
When appropriate, we may require the involvement or permission of a parent or legal guardian before collecting or using certain information belonging to a minor.
Parents or guardians who believe a child has submitted personal information to us improperly may contact us and request that we review or delete the information as appropriate.
16. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
The Next Chapter Fund is based in California.
Depending upon the law applicable to a particular situation, California residents may have rights concerning their personal information, including rights to request information about personal information maintained about them, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion, or exercise other rights available under applicable law.
Not every California privacy statute applies to every nonprofit organization or every type of information. We will evaluate privacy requests based on the laws applicable to The Next Chapter Fund and the information involved.
California's Attorney General describes rights that may apply under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of certain sales or sharing, limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, and receive equal treatment when exercising applicable privacy rights. (California Department of Justice)
