Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We may collect information you choose to provide through contact, support, volunteer, mentorship, and sponsorship forms. Depending on the form, this may include your name, contact details, organization, availability, foster care connection, goals, requested support, and the contents of your message.

• Contact and identity information
• Application and program information
• Volunteer, mentor, or sponsor information
• Communications you send to us

Please do not submit passwords, financial account numbers, medical records, or other sensitive information that a form does not specifically request.

Cookies and analytics

The website uses necessary browser storage to remember your cookie preference. If you select Allow analytics, we may use Google Analytics to understand general website activity, such as pages viewed, approximate location, device type, and referral source. Analytics storage remains denied unless you choose to allow it.

You can review or change your choice at any time by selecting Cookie settings in the website footer.

How we use information

We use information to respond to inquiries, review applications, coordinate programs and volunteers, manage sponsorship conversations, improve the website, protect the organization and its users, comply with legal obligations, and further Foster the Future’s charitable mission.

How we share information

We may share information with service providers that help operate the website, process forms, deliver communications, host data, or support organizational operations. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect safety or rights, or as part of an organizational restructuring.

Foster the Future does not sell personal information.

Donations and third-party services

Donation links may take you to Zeffy or another third-party service. Payment details submitted there are handled under that provider’s own privacy practices and are not entered directly into this website. The website also links to social networks and other outside services whose privacy practices we do not control.

Retention and security

We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, organizational recordkeeping, safety, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your choices

You may decline optional analytics, change cookie settings, choose not to submit a form, or contact us to ask about personal information you previously provided. Applicable rights may vary depending on where you live and the nature of the information.

Privacy for young people

Foster the Future serves Arizona teens and young adults, generally ages 16–24. This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information, please contact us so we can review the situation.

Updates to this policy

We may update this policy as the website, programs, service providers, or legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page will identify the latest version.
