Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 5, 2026
Follow Me Veterans Foundation (“we,” “us,” or “our”) serves veterans in Los Angeles County. This policy explains how information is handled when you visit our website, contact us, request support, express interest in volunteering, or make a donation through the site.
Information you provide
Our forms collect your name, email address, and the message you choose to send. Depending on the form, you may also provide a phone number, city or general area, volunteer interests, skills, availability, and safe-contact or accessibility preferences. Messages may reveal personal circumstances, so please share only what is needed for an initial conversation.
Do not submit Social Security numbers, medical records, financial account details, identification documents, or other sensitive records through general website forms or email. If you contact us about another person, share only information you have permission to provide.
Donations and transactions
If you donate, the donation and payment services may collect contact and billing information, payment details, gift amount, frequency, and transaction records. Payment information is handled through the checkout provider. We may receive donation records needed to acknowledge gifts, answer questions, and maintain financial records. Do not send payment-card details through our contact forms or email.
Information collected automatically
Squarespace hosts this website and processes technical information such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring pages, and visit times. This supports website delivery, security, and analytics. Cookies and similar technologies may remember settings and measure site use. Our cookie controls restrict non-essential cookies until you make a choice. See our Cookie Notice for details.
How information is used
We use information to respond to inquiries and support requests; communicate about possible resources or referrals; coordinate volunteer interest and partnerships; administer donations; maintain records; improve the website; prevent misuse; and meet legal obligations. Providing information does not guarantee services, housing, benefits, or a volunteer placement.
When information may be shared
Information may be accessed by foundation personnel and service providers who help operate the website, handle communications, administer donations, or maintain records. These providers may include Squarespace and the payment services identified during checkout. We may share information with a resource or referral provider when you ask us to or authorize that coordination, or when disclosure is otherwise required or permitted by law.
We may disclose information to comply with legal process, protect a person’s safety, investigate misuse, or protect legal rights. External organizations have their own privacy practices. Squarespace also processes certain visitor information for its own purposes as described in the Squarespace Privacy Policy.
Your choices and requests
You may choose not to submit optional information. Use a safe email address or phone number and tell us about contact preferences. To ask about access, correction, deletion, or limits on our use of your information, contact us below. We will consider your request under applicable law and may need to verify your identity. Some records may need to be retained for legal, accounting, security, or ongoing service purposes. Please do not email identity documents unless we arrange an appropriate method.
You can change cookie choices through Cookie Preferences and control cookies in your browser. Browser “Do Not Track” signals do not themselves change this site’s cookie settings; use the available cookie controls. If you receive optional updates, use the unsubscribe option where provided or contact us to stop them.
Retention and security
Information is retained as needed for the purposes described here, including responding to requests, maintaining donation and operational records, and satisfying legal requirements. The appropriate period depends on the information and the reason it was collected. No website, email system, or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure; please limit what you send through general channels.
Children and outside services
This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. Please contact us if you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information so we can address it. Links to other websites, payment services, and social media lead to services governed by their own policies. Information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.
Updates and contact
We may update this policy as the website or our practices change. We will post the revised policy and effective date here and provide any additional notice required by law.
