The Bachrach Family Foundation respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when using our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

About This Website

This website is operated by the Bachrach Family Foundation. Our website address is https://bachrachfamilyfoundation.org/.

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide through forms on our website. This may include:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your telephone number
  • Your organization or company name
  • Information included in a message, inquiry, or grant-related submission
  • Any other information you choose to provide

We may also automatically collect limited technical information when you visit the website, including your IP address, browser type, device information, referring website, and the pages you visit. This information may be used to maintain the security and performance of the website.

How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to questions, requests, or messages
  • Review grant-related inquiries or submissions
  • Communicate with applicants, grantees, and other organizations
  • Operate, maintain, and improve the website
  • Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or security threats
  • Comply with legal, administrative, or regulatory obligations

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

Comments

If comments are enabled and you leave a comment on the website, we may collect the information entered into the comment form, along with your IP address and browser information, to assist with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (sometimes called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use that service. You can review the Automattic Privacy Policy for additional information. After a comment is approved, your profile image may be visible publicly alongside your comment.

Uploaded Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images that contain embedded location information (EXIF GPS data). Visitors may be able to download images from the website and extract location information contained within them.

Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to provide website functionality, remember preferences, improve security, and understand how the website is used.

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience so that you do not need to enter the same information when leaving another comment. These cookies may remain on your device for up to one year.

If you visit a website login page, a temporary cookie may be created to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.

When an authorized user logs in, additional cookies may be created to save login information and display preferences. Login cookies generally remain for two days, display preference cookies may remain for one year, and selecting “Remember Me” may keep the user logged in for up to two weeks. Login cookies are removed when the user logs out.

If an authorized user edits or publishes an article, an additional cookie may be stored in the browser. This cookie does not contain personal information and only identifies the article that was edited. It generally expires after one day.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Pages on this website may include embedded content such as videos, images, maps, forms, or articles. Embedded content from another website behaves in the same manner as though you visited that website directly.

These third-party websites may collect information about you, use cookies, include additional tracking technologies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. This may include tracking your activity when you have an account with the third-party website and are logged in to that account.

Third-Party Service Providers

We may use trusted third-party service providers to operate and maintain the website, process form submissions, provide hosting, prevent spam, or support other administrative functions.

These providers may access personal information only as reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

Who We Share Your Information With

We may share personal information with:

  • Service providers that help us operate, secure, or maintain the website
  • Organizations or individuals involved in reviewing or administering grant-related inquiries
  • Government agencies, regulators, courts, or other parties when required by law
  • Professional advisors, such as attorneys, accountants, or consultants, when reasonably necessary

Visitor comments and form submissions may be reviewed by automated spam-detection or security services.

How Long We Retain Your Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal or administrative obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain appropriate business records.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata may be retained indefinitely so that follow-up comments can be recognized and approved automatically.

For users who create an account on the website, if account registration is available, we may store the personal information included in the user profile. Users may generally view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except usernames may not be changeable. Website administrators may also view and edit this information.

How We Protect Your Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or misuse.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information submitted through the website.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request:

  • Access to the personal information we maintain about you
  • Correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Deletion of your personal information
  • A copy of personal information you have provided
  • Additional information about how your personal information is used

These rights may be subject to certain exceptions. For example, we may retain information when necessary for legal, administrative, security, recordkeeping, or regulatory purposes.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website, please contact us so that we can review and, when appropriate, delete the information.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of each website you visit.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our website, practices, services, or legal obligations. When the policy is updated, the revised version will be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date.
