Privacy Policy

Introduction

Layers of Hope Foundation respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through this website, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.

Information You Provide

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide when you contact Layers of Hope Foundation or interact with features on this website.

• First and last name
• Email address
• The topic of your inquiry
• Messages submitted through our contact form
• Other information you voluntarily choose to include in a message

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, our hosting and technical service providers may automatically receive limited technical information when you visit the site. This can include information such as your browser type, device type, approximate network information, requested pages, and basic server logs.

Layers of Hope Foundation may introduce additional analytics tools in the future. If we do, this policy will be updated to describe how those tools are used.

How We Use Information

Information collected through this website may be used to:

• Respond to questions and contact requests.
• Provide information about Foundation programs and resources.
• Improve website content and functionality.
• Understand and address technical or security issues.
• Maintain appropriate records of communications when necessary.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

Contact Form and Email Services

Messages submitted through our contact form are transmitted using third-party email infrastructure so that Layers of Hope Foundation can receive and respond to your inquiry.

Please do not use the contact form to send highly sensitive personal information, medical records, Social Security numbers, financial account information, passwords, or other confidential information that is not necessary for your inquiry.

Health Information

Layers of Hope Foundation provides educational and community resources, but this website is not intended to function as a medical records system, patient portal, or healthcare provider communication platform.

Visitors should avoid submitting medical records, detailed protected health information, or other sensitive health information through general website forms unless a specific secure method is provided for that purpose.

Donations

Online payment processing is not currently active on this website. When online donations become available, payment information will be handled through a third-party payment processor rather than being stored directly by Layers of Hope Foundation.

This Privacy Policy will be updated when online donation processing becomes active to identify the relevant service and explain how donation-related information is handled.

Sharing Information

Layers of Hope Foundation does not sell or rent your personal information.

Information may be shared with service providers that assist with operating the website, delivering communications, maintaining infrastructure, preventing abuse, or providing other services necessary to support Foundation operations.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law, legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect the security, rights, or safety of Layers of Hope Foundation, our visitors, or others.

External Links

Our website may contain links to third-party organizations, research databases, educational resources, and other external websites. Layers of Hope Foundation is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external websites.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of external services before providing personal information to them.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information submitted through this website. However, no website, email service, or method of transmitting information over the internet can guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

Personal information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to communications, maintain appropriate Foundation records, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, or satisfy applicable legal obligations.

Children's Privacy

This website is intended to provide general educational and support information for patients, families, caregivers, and the broader community. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information directly from children through this website.

Your Choices

You may contact Layers of Hope Foundation to ask questions about personal information you have submitted through the website or to request that information be corrected or deleted when appropriate.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the website, Foundation programs, service providers, and available features change. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
