Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 13, 2026

Jeffrey Lucas Gurmendi Marshall Foundation (“the Foundation”) operates jlgmfoundation.org. It is the Foundation’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

1. Website Visitors

Like most website operators, the Foundation collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The Foundation’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use its website.

2. Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to the Foundation’s website choose to interact with the Foundation in ways that require the Foundation to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that the Foundation gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.

  • Newsletters: We collect email addresses from those who wish to receive our updates.

  • Donations: We collect names and contact information to process donations and provide tax receipts.

  • Programs: If you sign up for a program, we may collect additional information necessary for participation.

3. Donor Privacy (Our Commitment to You)

The Foundation is committed to the highest standard of donor privacy. We will not sell, share, or trade our donors' names or personal information with any other entity, nor send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations. This policy applies to all information received by the Foundation, both online and offline, as well as any electronic, written, or oral communications.

4. Children’s Online Privacy Protection (COPPA)

Our mission is to support youth and families, but our website is intended for parents, guardians, and adult supporters.

  • We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

  • If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

  • If you believe that a child under 13 may have provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@jlgmfoundation.org.

5. Security and Third-Party Processors

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, including using secure third-party processors (such as Stripe or PayPal) for all financial transactions so that your credit card data is never stored on our servers.

6. Your California Privacy Rights

As a California-based organization, we comply with California privacy standards. If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

  • Request to know what personal data we have collected about you.

  • Request the deletion of your personal data.

  • Opt-out of any future data collection or communication.

7. Cookies

The Foundation values your digital privacy and aims to keep your experience on our website as simple and unobtrusive as possible.

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies Only: We only use "strictly necessary" cookies. These are essential for the website to function properly, such as allowing you to navigate the site, use secure areas (like donation forms), or remember your login status.

  • No Tracking or Advertising: We do not use any tracking, advertising, or "third-party" cookies that follow you from our site to others or build a profile of your behavior.

  • No Analytics Cookies: We do not use non-essential analytics cookies that track your personal identity or specific browsing habits.

Because we do not use tracking or advertising cookies, we do not show a cookie consent banner. You may set your browser to block these necessary cookies, but parts of the site may not function properly as a result.

8. Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, the Foundation may change its Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion. The Foundation encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
