Privacy policy

Last updated: August 15, 2026

Who we are

The Ojemba & Sam Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the State of Minnesota, United States, with its principal address at 10550 Major Ave N, Brooklyn Park, MN 55445. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, why we collect it, and what we do with it.

Information you give us

We only collect information you choose to provide. That includes:

• Contact form. Your name, email address, the subject you select, and the content of your message.
• Newsletter signup. Your email address.
• Donations. If you give online, your name, email address, billing details, and gift amount are collected by our donation platform, not by this website. If you give by check, we hold the information you provide with your gift.
• Correspondence. Anything you send us by email or post.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, this site records basic technical information when you visit — such as your browser type, the pages you view, and the approximate region you are visiting from. We use website analytics to understand which pages people find useful. This information is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.

How we use your information

• To reply to your message or enquiry
• To send you updates about the foundation’s work, if you have asked for them
• To process and acknowledge your donation, and to issue a receipt
• To keep the records a registered nonprofit is required to keep
• To understand how the website is used and improve it

Services we rely on

A small number of third-party services process information on our behalf. Each has its own privacy policy:

• Our website host, which stores the site and its server logs
• Our form provider, which delivers contact and newsletter submissions to our inbox
• Our donation platform and its payment processor, which handle card and online payments. We never see or store your full card details.
• Website analytics, which reports aggregated visitor statistics

Cookies

This site uses cookies for basic functionality and for anonymous analytics. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings; the site will still work, though some features may behave differently.

How long we keep information

We keep donation records for as long as United States and Minnesota nonprofit and tax rules require. Contact form messages and newsletter subscriptions are kept until they are no longer needed or until you ask us to remove them.

Your choices

• You can unsubscribe from our updates at any time using the link in any email, or by writing to us
• You can ask us what information we hold about you
• You can ask us to correct or delete your information, subject to records we are legally required to retain
• You can ask that your gift be acknowledged anonymously

To make any of these requests, email info@ojembaandsam.org.

Children

This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Security

This site is served over an encrypted connection, and payment information is handled entirely by our donation platform’s secure systems. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
