Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected or processed through the SafeCore Initiative website, including information submitted through the website’s contact form.

This policy does not govern independently operated websites, services, platforms, donation systems, training communities, or event-registration systems that may be linked from this website. Those services operate under their own privacy policies and terms.

2. Information Submitted by Visitors

SafeCore Initiative may receive information that a visitor voluntarily provides through the website, including:

• Name
• Email address
• Inquiry category
• Subject
• Message content
• Information included voluntarily within a communication

Visitors should provide only the information reasonably necessary for SafeCore Initiative to address their inquiry.

Sensitive Information

Visitors should not submit the following through the contact form:

• Social Security numbers
• Government identification numbers
• Financial account credentials
• Payment-card information
• Passwords or authentication credentials
• Medical records
• Criminal-history records
• Confidential personnel information
• Other highly sensitive personal information

SafeCore Initiative does not request this information through its general contact form.

3. Email Verification

Before the contact form becomes available, visitors must verify ownership of the email address they provide by entering a one-time verification code.

Verification codes and temporary verification sessions are processed through a third-party security provider. Verification records are used to confirm email ownership, prevent automated abuse, protect the website, and reduce anonymous or fraudulent submissions.

A successfully verified email address does not establish the sender’s identity beyond demonstrating access to that email account.

4. Technical and Security Information

When a visitor uses the website or submits the contact form, certain technical information may be processed automatically, including:

• Internet Protocol address
• Approximate country or geographic region
• Browser type
• Device and operating-system information
• User-agent information
• Date and time of submission
• Security-verification results
• Network or request identifiers
• Information associated with suspected misuse or attempted abuse

This information may be processed by SafeCore Initiative’s service providers to operate the website, deliver communications, verify legitimate use, prevent malicious activity, investigate threats, and maintain system security.

5. How Information Is Used

SafeCore Initiative may use information collected or received through the website to:

• Review and respond to inquiries
• Provide information about programs, training, partnerships, donations, events, or organizational activities
• Confirm ownership of a submitted email address
• Protect the website and its users
• Detect and prevent spam, fraud, impersonation, malicious activity, or unauthorized access
• Investigate threats, harassment, or suspected unlawful conduct
• Maintain appropriate organizational, legal, or security records
• Comply with applicable legal obligations
• Protect the rights, safety, property, and operations of SafeCore Initiative, its personnel, partners, participants, and the public

SafeCore Initiative does not use contact-form information to create commercial advertising profiles.

6. Contact-Form Storage and Retention

SafeCore Initiative does not maintain a separate website database of contact-form submissions and does not create website user profiles from ordinary inquiries.

Information submitted through the contact form is delivered to SafeCore Initiative through its email service provider.

Ordinary inquiry emails are retained only as long as reasonably necessary to review, respond to, and resolve the matter. They are generally deleted in less than six months and may be deleted sooner after the communication has concluded.

Information may be retained longer when reasonably necessary for:

• An ongoing organizational or professional relationship
• Unresolved communications
• Training or partnership administration
• Governance or accounting obligations
• A legal requirement
• A dispute or investigation
• A credible or suspected threat
• Harassment or fraudulent activity
• Suspected criminal or unlawful conduct
• Protection of SafeCore Initiative personnel or the public
• A litigation hold or preservation request

Temporary verification codes expire after a short period. Temporary verification sessions and associated security records may be retained by the applicable service provider according to its systems and privacy practices.

7. Threats, Harassment, Fraud, and Unlawful Conduct

Communications submitted through the contact form are not anonymous.

Email verification and form submission may disclose or generate technical and sender-related metadata. SafeCore Initiative may preserve, review, and disclose relevant communications and metadata when reasonably necessary to investigate or respond to:

• Threats of violence
• Harassment
• Stalking
• Fraud
• Impersonation
• Malicious cyber activity
• Attempts to disrupt the website
• Other suspected criminal or unlawful conduct

Relevant information may be provided to law-enforcement agencies, attorneys, courts, service providers, security professionals, or other appropriate authorities when reasonably necessary or legally required.

8. Cloudflare and Website Security

SafeCore Initiative uses Cloudflare services to support website infrastructure, email verification, abuse prevention, traffic management, and security screening.

Cloudflare Turnstile may evaluate technical and browser information to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated or malicious activity.

SafeCore Initiative does not control Cloudflare’s independent systems, records, or retention practices.

9. Donations, Events, Training, and Third-Party Platforms

The website may link visitors to independent services used for:

• Donations
• Fundraising
• Event registration
• Training registration
• Community participation
• On-demand educational content
• Communications
• Website and security operations

These services may include Cloudflare, Zeffy, Skool, Google Workspace, and other providers selected by SafeCore Initiative.

A third-party provider may collect information directly from a visitor, including account, registration, communication, donation, transaction, or payment information. Information collected directly by a third party is governed by that provider’s privacy policy, terms, security controls, and retention practices.

SafeCore Initiative does not receive or store complete payment-card numbers through its website. Payment processing is handled through the applicable third-party platform.

10. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The SafeCore Initiative website may use cookies, tokens, or similar technologies that are necessary to:

• Operate website features
• Maintain temporary verification sessions
• Complete security checks
• Prevent abuse
• Protect website infrastructure

SafeCore Initiative uses Google Analytics 4 to measure website traffic and usage. Google may receive technical and usage information such as pages visited, browser and device information, approximate location, referral source, and interaction data. SafeCore Initiative does not configure Google Analytics 4 to collect sensitive personal information. Google’s handling of information received through Google Analytics 4 is subject to Google’s own privacy practices.

SafeCore Initiative does not currently use the website to conduct targeted behavioral advertising.

Third-party platforms linked from the website may use cookies and similar technologies under their own policies.

11. Sale and Commercial Sharing of Personal Information

SafeCore Initiative does not sell personal information.

SafeCore Initiative does not provide contact-form information to third parties for their independent direct-marketing purposes.

Information may be disclosed to service providers that support SafeCore Initiative’s operations or when disclosure is permitted or required for legal, security, organizational, or safety purposes described in this policy.

12. Disclosure of Information

SafeCore Initiative may disclose information:

• To service providers supporting website, communication, security, donation, event, or training functions
• When authorized or requested by the individual
• To comply with a subpoena, court order, legal process, or applicable law
• To investigate fraud, abuse, threats, harassment, or unlawful conduct
• To protect the rights, property, safety, or operations of SafeCore Initiative or others
• In connection with an organizational restructuring, transfer, or lawful governance action
• When otherwise permitted by law

Service providers may process information only according to their applicable agreements, policies, legal obligations, and independent practices.

13. Data Security

SafeCore Initiative uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, loss, or disclosure.

No website, email system, network, or electronic transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. Visitors should therefore avoid transmitting unnecessary or highly sensitive information.

If SafeCore Initiative determines that a qualifying breach involving sensitive personally identifying information has occurred, it will evaluate and fulfill applicable notification obligations.

14. Children’s Privacy

The SafeCore Initiative website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

SafeCore Initiative does not knowingly request or collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the general contact form.

A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may contact SafeCore Initiative and request review or deletion.

15. Third-Party Links

The website may contain links to independently operated websites and platforms.

SafeCore Initiative is not responsible for the privacy, security, accessibility, content, or data practices of third-party services. Visitors should review the applicable privacy policy and terms before submitting information to an external service.

A link does not necessarily constitute endorsement of every policy, statement, product, or practice of the linked provider.

16. Privacy Requests and Choices

A person may contact SafeCore Initiative to request that the organization:

• Confirm whether it maintains an identifiable contact communication
• Correct inaccurate information contained in an active communication
• Delete an ordinary inquiry when no continuing need or legal basis for retention exists
• Address a privacy-related concern

Requests may be submitted through the verified contact form.

SafeCore Initiative may take reasonable steps to verify the requester’s identity and authority before acting on a request.

A request may be denied or limited when retention is reasonably necessary for legal compliance, safety, security, fraud prevention, threat response, dispute resolution, governance, or protection of legal rights.

SafeCore Initiative will consider applicable privacy rights based on the requester’s jurisdiction and the laws that apply to the organization.

17. International Visitors

SafeCore Initiative is based in Alabama, United States.

Information submitted through the website may be processed or stored in the United States or other jurisdictions where SafeCore Initiative’s service providers operate.

Visitors accessing the website from outside the United States understand that privacy and data-protection laws may differ from those in their location.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

SafeCore Initiative may revise this Privacy Policy as the website, services, technology, or legal requirements change.

The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through another reasonable method when appropriate.

Continued use of the website after a revised policy becomes effective constitutes acknowledgment of the updated policy.
