Information we collect

We may collect information you choose to provide through website forms, including your name, email address, phone number, organization, volunteer interests, partnership inquiries, stories and information included in a request for assistance.

We may also receive basic technical information associated with a website visit, such as browser type, device information, pages viewed and general traffic data when standard website analytics or security tools are used.

How we use information

We use information to respond to requests, provide or review assistance, coordinate volunteers and community drives, communicate with donors and partners, send updates people request, operate programs, improve the website and protect the organization and its visitors from misuse or fraud.

When information may be shared

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website, process forms, send communications, accept donations or provide other necessary services. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect a person, Almost Home Chicago or the public.

Donations and third-party services

Online donations and some linked services may be handled by third-party providers. Information entered on those services is also governed by the provider’s own privacy and security practices. Almost Home Chicago does not ask visitors to send payment-card information through ordinary contact forms.

Security and retention

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information. No website or electronic system can guarantee absolute security. We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected, program records, legal obligations and legitimate organizational needs.
