These providers may access information only as reasonably necessary to perform those functions.
We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, or governmental authority, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or property of the Foundation or others.
We do not share program applicant or participant information with affiliated or related for-profit businesses for their own marketing or solicitation purposes without the individual’s explicit consent.

If you submit an application, contact us, or make a partnership inquiry, we may contact you regarding that application, inquiry, program, or relationship.

7. Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore use appropriate care when submitting information online.
