We collect both personal and non-personal information, including:

A. Personal Information:

• Name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any information you voluntarily submit through our forms (e.g., contact, donations, newsletter sign-ups, or program applications).

B. Non-Personal Information:

• Browser type, device type, IP address, pages visited, access times, and referring website addresses. This is collected via cookies or analytics tools like Google Analytics.

C. Sensitive Information:

• If you choose to share your housing status or story with us, this may include sensitive personal data. We treat this information with strict confidentiality and only use it with your consent.

We use your information to:

• Provide support and services.
• Communicate with you about programs, donations, or events.
• Improve our website and outreach efforts.
• Maintain internal records and comply with legal obligations.

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

We may share information:

• With service providers who help operate our website or services (e.g., email marketing tools, secure donation platforms).
• As required by law or legal process.
• To protect the rights, safety, or property of My Tia’s Place, its users, or others.

All third parties are required to maintain the confidentiality of your data and use it only for the services provided to us.

We use cookies to enhance user experience and gather anonymous analytics. You may opt-out of cookies via your browser settings.

Connecticut residents have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we have about you.
• Request corrections or deletion of that data.
• Opt-out of any data sharing for marketing purposes (we currently do not share data for marketing).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at mytiasplacedirectors@gmail.com. 

Our website and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will delete it promptly.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. No method of transmission is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our website may contain links to other nonprofit or community partner websites, but our Privacy Policy does not apply to these websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites; it is recommended that you read their policies and terms before disclosing personal info to them.

Please remember to contact third parties directly (and not My Tia’s Place) if you have any questions or concerns about their practices.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will post the revised version with the effective “Last Updated” date on this page. We encourage you to review it regularly. This will help ensure you better understand your relationship with My Tia’s Place, including the ways we process your personal info.
