Your information, kept to ourselves.

ImpactKits collects information reasonably necessary to operate our organization, administer programs, communicate with individuals, and provide requested services.

Depending on how you interact with us, the information we collect may include:

Personal and contact information

This may include your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, organization or business affiliation, and other contact details you voluntarily provide.

Information submitted through forms

When you submit an inquiry, volunteer interest form, partnership request, application, or other website form, we may collect the information you choose to provide, including relevant background information, interests, questions, and other details necessary to respond to your submission.

Donation-related information

When you make a monetary contribution through an approved donation platform, certain information may be collected to process and administer the contribution, including donor contact information, transaction details, and contribution records.

Payment card and financial information may be collected and processed directly by the applicable payment processor or donation platform rather than by ImpactKits.

Communications and correspondence

We may retain communications submitted to ImpactKits through email, website forms, social media, or other communication channels for purposes such as responding to inquiries, maintaining organizational records, and addressing concerns.

Technical and website information

When you visit ImpactKits.org, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our website, hosting provider, security services, analytics tools, or other technology providers.

Depending on the services in use, this information may include IP addresses, browser type, device information, operating system, approximate geographic information, pages visited, referral sources, and other website usage information.

ImpactKits uses collected information for legitimate organizational, administrative, charitable, and operational purposes.

These purposes may include responding to inquiries, communicating with donors and supporters, coordinating volunteer participation, administering programs and community initiatives, managing partnerships, processing and documenting contributions, maintaining organizational records, improving our website and services, monitoring website security, preventing misuse or fraudulent activity, addressing complaints, and fulfilling applicable legal, accounting, reporting, and compliance obligations.

We may also use information to communicate organizational updates, program announcements, volunteer opportunities, fundraising information, and other relevant developments.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain appropriate consent or provide individuals with applicable choices regarding communications and other uses of their information.

ImpactKits does not sell, rent, or trade personal information.

We do not intentionally disclose personal information to third parties for their independent advertising, marketing, or commercial purposes.

However, information may be shared with certain parties when reasonably necessary to operate our organization and fulfill our responsibilities.

These parties may include:

Our fiscal sponsor

ImpactKits is fiscally sponsored by The Hack Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Information may be shared with our fiscal sponsor when reasonably necessary for donation administration, financial reporting, compliance, organizational oversight, and other fiscal sponsorship responsibilities.

Technology and service providers

We may use third-party providers to support our website, hosting, communications, forms, administrative systems, security, analytics, donation processing, and other organizational functions.

These providers may process information on our behalf as necessary to deliver their services.

Program and community partners

Information may be shared with partner organizations when reasonably necessary to coordinate a program, facilitate a requested service, arrange a distribution, or fulfill an agreed-upon partnership activity.

We seek to limit information shared with partners to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant activity.

Legal and safety-related disclosures

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, court orders, or governmental requests, or to protect the safety, rights, property, and security of ImpactKits or others.

We do not authorize third parties receiving information for organizational purposes to use it for unrelated purposes where such use is restricted by applicable agreements or law.
