Last Updated: January 1, 2026  ·  Effective Date: January 1, 2026

GlobalWorx Foundation ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website globalworx.org or interact with our organization.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly: When you donate, sign up for our newsletter, submit a contact form, or apply for programs, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and payment information (processed securely through Stripe — we never store full payment card numbers).

Automatically Collected Information: When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain information including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This is done through Google Analytics and similar tools.

Cookies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Process donations and issue tax receipts
  • Communicate with you about our programs and impact
  • Send newsletters and updates if you have opted in
  • Respond to your inquiries and requests
  • Improve our website and programs
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Prevent fraud and protect the security of our systems

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party vendors (such as Stripe for payment processing, Mailchimp for email communications, and Google for analytics) who assist us in operating our website and conducting our business. These vendors are bound by confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your information for any other purpose.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government regulation.
  • Protection of Rights: We may disclose information to protect the rights, property, or safety of GlobalWorx Foundation, our donors, or others.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission and secure payment processing through Stripe. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to protecting your data to the best of our ability.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Donor records are typically retained for a minimum of seven years for tax and accounting purposes.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention requirements)
  • Opt out of marketing communications at any time
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@globalworx.com.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
