This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit courageagainstcancer.org (the “Site”) or interact with our programs, including the CAC Wellness Playbook and CAC Wellness Scouting Report.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
- Contact form: your name, email address, and message when you reach out to us.
- Email newsletter signup: your name and email address when you subscribe to updates. We use a third-party email service provider (Mailchimp) to manage and send these communications.
- Donations: when you donate, your payment is processed through WordPress.com’s payment infrastructure. We receive your name, email, and donation amount for receipting purposes; we do not store your full payment card details, which are handled directly by our payment processor.
- CAC Wellness Playbook / Scouting Report enrollment: if you enroll in these paid programs, you may provide contact information and, where applicable, information related to genomic or microbiome testing conducted by our testing partners. Any health-related information you choose to share with us is used only to support your participation in the program and is not sold or used for advertising purposes.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect certain information through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and the site that referred you. This may include:
- Site analytics: WordPress.com/Jetpack Stats, and Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site.
- Advertising: Google Ads conversion tracking and remarketing cookies, used to measure the performance of our nonprofit advertising (including through the Google Ad Grants program) and to show relevant ads to past visitors on other sites.
You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google’s advertising cookies at adssettings.google.com or through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
