Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 14, 2026
Maternal Dignity Project (“Maternal Dignity Project,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information entrusted to us by visitors, donors, subscribers, supporters, and others who interact with our website.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through the Maternal Dignity Project website, how we use and share that information, and the choices available to you.
By using our website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you interact with our website and organization.
Information You Provide to Us
You may provide personal information when you make a donation, subscribe to email communications, contact us, register for an event, submit a form, or otherwise communicate with Maternal Dignity Project.
This information may include your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, organization or company name, donation information, communication preferences, and information you voluntarily include in a message or form.
If you make a donation, additional information may be collected through our fundraising provider, including the amount of your donation, donation frequency, payment method, billing or mailing information, dedication information, and preferences regarding whether your name or donation is displayed publicly.
Please do not submit sensitive medical, financial, or other confidential information through general website contact forms unless specifically requested by Maternal Dignity Project.
Donations and Givebutter
Maternal Dignity Project uses Givebutter to facilitate online donations and related fundraising activities.
When you donate, your information is submitted through Givebutter and may be made available to Maternal Dignity Project for purposes such as processing and acknowledging your gift, maintaining donor records, communicating with you, and managing our fundraising programs.
Givebutter may collect donor contact information and transaction information. Payment card and other payment credentials are processed by Givebutter’s payment processing providers. Maternal Dignity Project does not directly collect or store your full credit card number or other complete payment credentials through its website.
Givebutter and its payment processors maintain their own privacy, security, and data-handling practices. Your use of Givebutter is also subject to Givebutter’s applicable privacy policy and terms. Givebutter states that payment information is handled through PCI-compliant payment processors and that it does not store donor payment information itself.
Email Communications and Mailchimp
Maternal Dignity Project uses Mailchimp to manage email subscriptions and communications.
If you subscribe to our email list, we may collect information such as your name, email address, subscription status, signup source, preferences, and information about how you interact with emails we send.
Mailchimp may also provide information such as whether an email was delivered, opened, or clicked. This information helps us understand which communications are useful to our supporters and improve future communications.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails. We may retain limited information necessary to record and respect an unsubscribe request.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, certain information may be collected automatically by our website, hosting provider, analytics services, or other technology providers.
This information may include your browser and device type, operating system, approximate geographic location, referring website, pages viewed, links clicked, date and time of access, interactions with the website, cookie or similar identifiers, and technical information used for website security, troubleshooting, and performance.
We generally use this information to understand how visitors use our website rather than to personally identify individual visitors.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and interact with our website.
Google Analytics may collect information such as pages viewed, session activity, approximate location, browser and device information, referral information, and identifiers stored through cookies or similar technologies. Google states that Google Analytics uses first-party cookies and that IP addresses may be used during processing but are not logged or stored by Google Analytics.
We use this information to measure website performance, understand visitor behavior, improve navigation and content, and evaluate the effectiveness of our outreach efforts.
Google Search Console and Rank Math
We use Google Search Console and Rank Math to help manage search engine optimization and understand how our website performs in search results.
Google Search Console provides website owners with information such as search queries, impressions, clicks, and search performance. Google may omit or anonymize certain queries to protect user privacy.
Rank Math is a WordPress search engine optimization tool used to manage website metadata and related SEO functions. Rank Math states that its anonymous plugin usage tracking is optional and disabled by default and that Analytics and Search Console information retrieved through its integration is stored within the website rather than on Rank Math’s servers.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website and third-party service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies.
Cookies are small files stored on your device that can help websites function properly, remember preferences, understand website usage, and measure performance.
Some cookies may be necessary for the website to operate properly. Other cookies may be used for analytics or other nonessential purposes.
Where required by applicable law, we will request consent before placing nonessential cookies or activating technologies that require consent.
You may also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect certain website features or functionality.
How We Use Your Information
We may use information we collect to operate and maintain our website; process, record, and acknowledge donations; provide donation receipts and other donor communications; respond to questions or requests; send newsletters, organizational updates, fundraising appeals, invitations, or other communications when permitted; administer events and programs; understand how people use our website; improve our website, programs, content, and communications; maintain accurate donor and supporter records; prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents; comply with accounting, tax, legal, and regulatory obligations; and protect the rights, safety, property, and interests of Maternal Dignity Project and others.
How We Share Information
Maternal Dignity Project does not sell or rent donor or supporter lists for third-party fundraising or marketing purposes.
We may disclose information to service providers that help us operate our organization and website, including fundraising platforms, payment processors, website hosting providers, email marketing providers, analytics providers, professional advisors, technology vendors, and similar organizations.
These providers may access information only as necessary to provide their services or as otherwise permitted under their own agreements and privacy policies.
We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, regulations, legal proceedings, court orders, subpoenas, or governmental requests; investigate suspected fraud, misuse, security incidents, or unlawful activity; protect the rights or safety of Maternal Dignity Project, our supporters, or others; or facilitate an organizational restructuring, merger, transfer, or similar transaction where permitted by law.
We may use or disclose aggregated or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify an individual.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to, integrations with, or embedded content provided by third parties.
For example, donations may be completed through Givebutter and email subscriptions may be managed through Mailchimp. When you interact with a third-party service, that provider may collect information according to its own privacy policy and terms.
Maternal Dignity Project does not control the privacy or security practices of independent third-party websites and services. We encourage you to review their policies before submitting personal information.
Donor Privacy
We recognize the importance of maintaining the trust of our donors.
Maternal Dignity Project does not sell, rent, or exchange donor personal information with unrelated third parties for their independent fundraising or marketing purposes.
We may use donor information to process and acknowledge donations, maintain records, provide tax documentation where applicable, communicate about our mission and programs, and otherwise administer our relationship with supporters.
If a donor requests anonymity in connection with a donation, we will make reasonable efforts to honor that preference in our public communications.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and to meet legitimate operational, accounting, tax, legal, security, and recordkeeping requirements.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information involved. For example, donation records may need to be retained longer than general website inquiries because of financial and regulatory requirements.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.
Data Security
Maternal Dignity Project uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
However, no website, electronic transmission, database, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by us or our service providers.
Your Choices and Privacy Rights
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link contained in our communications.
You may also contact us to request that we update or correct information we maintain about you or change your communication preferences.
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply to our organization, you may also have rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or information about certain disclosures or processing activities.
Some rights are subject to exceptions. For example, we may need to retain certain donation or transaction information to satisfy tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, or other legal requirements.
We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before completing a privacy request.
International Visitors
Maternal Dignity Project is based in the United States, and our website and service providers may process or store information in the United States or other countries.
If you access our website from outside the United States, your personal information may therefore be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions whose privacy laws may differ from those in your country of residence.
Where required by applicable law, we and our service providers will use appropriate mechanisms for international transfers of personal information.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate authorization. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 in circumstances where we should not have done so, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, services, technology, legal requirements, or privacy practices.
When we update the policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. If a change materially affects how we use personal information, we may provide additional notice when appropriate.
