    Last updated: April 14, 2026

    This privacy policy applies to Haven for Humanity, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It explains how we collect, use, and protect information gathered through haven.charity and related nonprofit programs.

    1. Information We Collect

    We collect information you provide when signing the Haven Pledge, registering for nonprofit events, applying to start a Haven Center, volunteering, or making a donation. This may include your name, email address, location, and any other information you choose to share.

    2. How We Use Your Information

    We use your information to operate our nonprofit programs, process donations, communicate about our mission and events, maintain the global Pledge map, and fulfill our obligations as a 501(c)(3) organization. We do not use your data for commercial marketing purposes.

    3. Data Sharing

    We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited data with payment processors (Stripe) for donation processing, and with service providers who help us operate our programs under strict data processing agreements.

    4. Relationship to Haven Method

    Haven for Humanity is a separate nonprofit entity from Haven Method (havenmethod.com). While Haven Method sponsors our mission in part, the two organizations maintain separate data practices. Information shared with Haven for Humanity is not automatically shared with Haven Method, and vice versa.

    5. Donor Privacy

    We respect the privacy of our donors. Donation amounts and donor identities are kept confidential unless a donor explicitly consents to public recognition. We comply with all IRS requirements for 501(c)(3) organizations regarding donor records.

    6. Cookies and Analytics

    We use essential cookies and basic analytics to understand how visitors interact with haven.charity. We do not use advertising cookies or retargeting technologies on our nonprofit site.

    7. Your Rights

    You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us. If you signed the Haven Pledge, you may request removal of your name and location from the public map.

    8. Data Retention

    We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law for nonprofit record-keeping and tax compliance.

    9. Children's Privacy

    We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

    10. Changes to This Policy

    We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
