Blanket of Hope collects personal information that you voluntarily provide when interacting with our website. This includes your name and email address when you submit a contact form, sign up for our newsletter, register for volunteer events, or make a donation. We may also collect mailing addresses when processing physical deliveries or tax receipts. We do not collect information from children under 13 without verified parental consent.
We use the information we collect to process donations, communicate with volunteers, send newsletter updates, respond to inquiries, and improve our programs and services. Your information helps us coordinate blanket deliveries, schedule volunteer events, and provide tax-deductible donation receipts. We may also use aggregated, non-identifying data to analyze website traffic and improve user experience.
Blanket of Hope does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website, processing donations, or sending communications, but only to the extent necessary for them to perform those services. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our organization and its supporters.
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and analyze site traffic. Cookies are small data files stored on your device by your web browser. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. Donation transactions are processed through secure, encrypted payment platforms. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
