Privacy Policy

FRIENDS of Sullivan's Island Elementary School ('FRIENDS,' 'we,' 'us') respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect through siesfriends.org, how we use it, and your choices.

Effective date: 08/25/2026

Information we collect

Information you give us: when you use a form on our site (such as the volunteer sign-up) we collect the name, email address, and any message you provide; when you email us we receive what you send.

Donations: we do not process or store payment information ourselves — donations are handled by our partners, including the Coastal Community Foundation of South Carolina and event platforms such as Event.Gives and RunSignUp, on their own secure systems and subject to their privacy policies.

Automatically collected: we use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly service, to understand overall traffic; Plausible does not use cookies and does not collect personal data or track you across sites — it reports only aggregate, anonymous statistics.

How we use information

We use information to respond to you, coordinate volunteers, acknowledge and steward donations, and improve our website and programs.

How we share information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate (for example, our email and form-processing tools) and as required by law.

Cookies

Our site does not use tracking or advertising cookies.

Children's privacy

Our site is intended for parents, guardians, and community members. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Our site links to third-party sites such as our donation platform; we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Your choices

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you have provided by emailing hello@siesfriends.org.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy; the effective date shows the latest revision.
