Bikers C.A.R.E., Inc. ("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 at www.bikers-care.org (the "Site"), submit forms, make donations, register for events, or otherwise interact with our services. By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with this policy, please do not access or use the Site.

Name
Email address
Mailing address (e.g., for sending event materials like pins)
Phone number (if provided)
Message or other details you share

Automatically Collected Information: When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect:
Device information (e.g., IP address, browser type, operating system)
Usage data (e.g., pages visited, time spent, referring sites)
Cookies and similar technologies: We may use cookies, web beacons, or analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to track Site usage and improve functionality. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

​

Information from Third Parties: If you donate or register via third-party platforms (e.g., PayPal), we receive information they share, such as confirmation of your donation and contact details.

​

We do not intentionally collect information from children under 13 without parental consent, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

Respond to inquiries and provide support.
Send newsletters, updates, and information about child abuse prevention (with opt-out options).
Process donations and event registrations.
Mail event materials (e.g., pins for the Pinwheel Run).
Improve the Site and our services through analytics.
Comply with legal obligations, such as tax reporting for donations.
Communicate about events, awareness campaigns, and organizational news.

​

We may use de-identified or aggregated data for research or statistical purposes related to child abuse prevention.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:

Service providers (e.g., email platforms like Mailchimp for newsletters, PayPal for payments) who assist us and are bound by confidentiality.
Law enforcement or regulators if required by law (e.g., subpoenas).
In connection with a merger, sale, or reorganization of our organization.

​

For newsletters, we comply with the CAN-SPAM Act by including our physical address and an easy unsubscribe link in every email.

4. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights under state laws (e.g., California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) if you are a California resident):

Access: Request details about the personal information we hold about you.
Correction: Update inaccurate information.
Deletion: Request removal of your information (subject to legal retention requirements, e.g., donor records for IRS compliance).
Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from newsletters or marketing at any time via the link in emails or by contacting us.
Do Not Sell/Share: We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

​

To exercise these rights, contact us at bikrscare@gmail.com or 813-609-2457. We will respond within the timeframes required by law (e.g., 45 days under CCPA). We do not discriminate against users exercising their rights.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information, including encryption for transmissions and access controls. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection. If using third-party services (e.g., PayPal), their security policies apply.

6. Data Retention

We retain your information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined (e.g., donor records for 7 years per IRS rules) or as required by law. After that, we delete or anonymize it.

7. International Transfers

Our operations are based in the United States. If you are outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S., where data protection laws may differ.

8. Third-Party Links
The Site may link to external sites (e.g., PayPal). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies separately.
