Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 1, 2026 | Draft for organizational and legal review

1. Scope and Organization

This Privacy Policy explains how Lifestyle Elevation Media Foundation, Inc. (“LEMF,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 87-1628495), may collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information through https://lemediafoundation.org/ (the “Website”). Separate third-party websites, media brands, donation platforms, and social networks have their own privacy practices.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with the Website, information may include: (a) information you provide, such as name, email address, telephone number, organization, inquiry content, program or partnership interest, and newsletter preferences; (b) donation-related details and transaction confirmations made available by payment providers, such as donor name, donation amount, and contact details; and (c) technical information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring pages, and approximate location derived from IP address, if collected by our hosting or analytics services. We do not ask you to send payment card details through ordinary contact forms.

3. How We Use Information

We use information as reasonably necessary to answer inquiries, manage subscriptions, administer donations and acknowledgments, communicate about programs and partnerships, maintain Website functionality and security, measure performance, prevent misuse, and meet legal or recordkeeping obligations. We send optional promotional or newsletter communications only in accordance with applicable law and available consent choices.

4. Contact Form Delivery

Contact form submissions should be routed to Email Us. Form information may pass through the Website host, form-processing service, and email provider before reaching that inbox. Website administrators should test this delivery path and confirm that submissions are received securely and reliably.

5. Donations and Payment Processing

When you donate, a third-party payment service may collect and process payment details directly. Its privacy notice governs its processing. LEMF may receive information needed to acknowledge the contribution, maintain records, respond to questions, and comply with applicable nonprofit and tax obligations. Please review the donation provider’s policy before payment.

6. Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking

The Website and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies for basic operation, security, analytics, or embedded content. The specific tools and cookies used must be confirmed by the Website administrator before publication of this policy. You can manage cookies through your browser and, where offered, on-site consent controls. Browser “Do Not Track” signals are not uniformly interpreted; LEMF should disclose its actual response after confirming its technical setup. Third-party embeds may collect data under their own policies.

7. When Information Is Shared

We may share information with service providers that support hosting, email delivery, forms, analytics, donation processing, security, and other operations; with authorized staff or contractors who need it to perform services; when required by law or necessary to protect rights and safety; or with your direction or consent. We do not describe personal information as being sold or shared for targeted advertising unless this has been verified against actual Website practices.

8. Retention and Security

We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described, including correspondence, donor records, legal obligations, and operational needs, then delete or de-identify it when appropriate. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards; however, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Specific retention periods should be documented in internal procedures.

9. Your Choices and Requests

You may ask to review, correct, or delete information you have provided, or unsubscribe from optional communications, by contacting Email Us. We will consider requests under applicable law and may retain information when necessary for legal, financial, security, or other legitimate obligations. If a privacy law grants additional rights in your circumstances, we will honor those rights as required.

10. Children and Youth Programs

LEMF supports youth education, but the Website is not intended to solicit personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement and any required consent. If you believe a child submitted personal information improperly, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action. Separate registration processes for youth programs may require additional notices and safeguards.

11. External Links and International Visitors

Links to other websites, videos, forms, payment platforms, or social media services are subject to those third parties’ policies. If you access the Website from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our providers operate, subject to applicable legal requirements.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect operational, technological, or legal changes. The effective date at the top will be updated when material revisions are published. Please review this page periodically.
