ForEm
Foundation

Last updated: August 2026
ForEm Foundation is committed to transparency regarding the information we collect and how it is managed. This policy explains our practices in plain language.
Information You Provide Directly
We collect information that you voluntarily submit through our website. This includes your name, email address, optional phone number, organization (if applicable), and the category of your inquiry. When you interact with our forms, we collect the messages you send and any stories or personal information you choose to share. If you make a donation, ForEm Foundation uses third-party payment processors Donorbox and Stripe. These third parties collect and process your payment information according to their own privacy practices; the Foundation does not store complete credit card or bank account details.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, we or our service providers Wix.com may automatically collect technical data. This includes your IP address, browser and device specifications, pages viewed, referring URLs, and an approximate location based on your IP. We may also use cookies and similar technologies for website functionality and basic analytics.
How We Use Information
We use your information for legitimate organizational purposes, including: responding to your questions; processing and acknowledging donations; communicating with supporters; administering our advocacy programs and activities; improving our website; maintaining security; and complying with legal obligations. Sharing a personal story with us does not grant ForEm permission to publish it. We will always obtain separate, explicit permission before using your name, story, or photo in any public capacity.
Text and Phone Communications
If you voluntarily provide a phone number through our contact forms, we may use it to respond to your specific inquiry via text or voice call. Providing your number for an inquiry does not enroll you in recurring marketing text message programs.
Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
We work with third-party service providers Wix, Donorbox, Stripe, and Printful to host our site, process donations, and fulfill merchandise orders. These providers process information in accordance with their respective privacy policies and as necessary to provide their services. ForEm Foundation does not sell your personal information.
Medical and Health Information Disclaimer
ForEm Foundation is a nonprofit advocacy organization, not a healthcare provider. The information on this site is for educational purposes and is not medical advice. This website should not be used for emergency medical assistance. Please do not submit medical records, Social Security numbers, or sensitive financial information through our standard contact forms. Our organization and website submissions are not governed by HIPAA.
Cookies and Tracking
Our website uses cookies for security, user preferences, and to understand how visitors interact with our content. You can manage cookie settings through your individual web browser.
Data Retention and Security
We implement reasonable measures to protect your data. Information is retained only as long as necessary for our operational, legal, or tax requirements. While we strive to protect your information, no digital transmission can be guaranteed as absolutely secure.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate authorization.
External Links
Our site may contain links to external websites. ForEm Foundation is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites.
Choices and Contact Information
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided to us. We will respond to requests as required by applicable law and subject to any information we are permitted or required to retain. For privacy-related questions or requests, please email info@foremfoundation.org.
