At H.Y.P.E. NOLA (“H.Y.P.E.,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), your privacy matters to us. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, participate in our programs, sign up for communications, or support our mission.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and other relevant information. This information may be submitted through email sign-up forms, mentee or mentor applications, donation forms, or general inquiries. 

We use the information you share with us to communicate updates, process applications, manage donor acknowledgments, provide information about upcoming events, and respond to questions or support requests. Your information helps us grow our community and keep you informed. We do not sell, trade, or rent personal information to third parties. In certain cases, we may use trusted third-party services, such as email platforms or donation processors, to help us operate our website or manage communications. These partners are required to maintain confidentiality and only use data as needed to provide services on our behalf.

We also collect limited, non-personally identifiable information through analytics tools to better understand how people use our website. This may include data such as the number of visitors, pages viewed, length of visit, and general location (by region). This information helps us improve the performance and content of our site. No personal data is linked to this analytics information.

To protect your privacy, we use appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to secure your information. Sensitive information, such as donation payment details, is securely encrypted and processed through verified third-party platforms. 

If you wish to unsubscribe from our emails, you may do so at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of our messages. You may also contact us to review, update, or request the removal of any information you’ve submitted.
