CCPA Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 14, 2025

1. Overview of the CCPA

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants California residents specific rights regarding their personal information. While Valento Family is not based in California, we voluntarily comply with the core principles of the CCPA for transparency and accountability.

2. Categories of Personal Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of personal data: identifiers (name, email, IP address), contact details (phone, address), internet activity (cookies, browsing behavior), and donation records. We do not collect sensitive personal data such as government IDs or biometric data.

3. How We Collect Personal Information

Information is collected directly through form submissions, donations, and communication, and indirectly via cookies or analytics tools. All data is collected for legitimate, clearly defined purposes only.

4. How We Use Personal Information

Personal information is used to process donations, respond to inquiries, improve site functionality, manage outreach, and comply with legal obligations. We do not use personal data for automated decision-making or behavioral profiling.

5. Disclosure of Personal Information

Valento Family does not sell personal data. We may share limited data with secure, GDPR/CCPA-compliant service providers solely to operate our services, such as payment gateways and email platforms.

6. Your CCPA Rights

California residents have the right to know what data we collect, request data deletion, and opt out of data sales (we do not sell data). You are also protected from discrimination for exercising these rights.

7. How to Submit a Data Request

To request data access or deletion, contact us via our website or email. We may ask for identity verification. All valid requests will be fulfilled within 45 days, or you will be informed of delays.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies for basic analytics and performance tracking, not for targeted advertising. Users can control cookie settings via their browser or through the site's cookie consent tool.

9. Protecting Your Personal Information

We use SSL encryption, secure hosting, and limited access protocols to protect user data. While no system is perfect, we take your privacy seriously and apply best practices to minimize risk.

10. Updates and Contact Information

This policy may be updated as needed to comply with legal or organizational changes. Any revisions will be posted on this page. For questions or requests, please contact us using the form on our website.
