Privacy Policy

1. Introduction 

This Privacy Policy explains how Friends of Georgetown Parks and Recreation (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. We are a nonprofit organization based in Texas, and we take your privacy seriously. 

2. Information We Collect 

We collect two types of information: 

A. Information You Provide Directly 

If you choose to contact us, sign up for updates, or make a donation, you may provide: 

  • Name 

  • Email address 

  • Phone number 

  • Mailing address 

  • Donation information (processed securely by our payment provider) 

We do not store credit card numbers. 

B. Information Collected Automatically (Squarespace Analytics) 

Our website is hosted on Squarespace. Squarespace automatically collects limited technical information, including: 

  • IP address 

  • Browser type 

  • Device type 

  • Pages visited 

  • Time spent on pages 

  • General location (city/region) 

This information helps us understand how visitors use our site. It is not used for advertising, and we do not sell or share this data. 

3. How We Use Information 

We use the information we collect to: 

  • Respond to inquiries 

  • Improve our website 

  • Maintain internal records 

  • Process donations or registrations 

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. 

4. Cookies & Tracking 

Our site uses Squarespace’s built‑in cookies for basic functionality and analytics. We do not use: 

  • Advertising cookies 

  • Retargeting pixels 

  • Third‑party tracking tools 

Because we only use essential and analytics cookies, and because we are a Texas nonprofit, a cookie banner or opt‑out mechanism is not required. 

5. Data Sharing 

We may share information only with: 

  • Service providers who help operate our website (e.g., Squarespace) 

  • Payment processors for donations 

These providers are not permitted to use your information for their own marketing. 

6. Data Security 

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information. However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure. 

7. Links to Other Websites 

Our website may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. 

8. Children’s Privacy 

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. 

9. Changes to This Policy 

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date will reflect the most recent revision.
