At Ryker's Rainbow, we are honored that you trust us with your story, your support, and your heart. Whether you've found us in a season of grief or a season of giving, your privacy matters deeply to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it — so you can engage with our mission with confidence.

Information you provide directly:
When you interact with our website, you may choose to share personal information through our donation forms, store purchases, box requests, volunteer sign-ups, contact forms, or story submissions. This may include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and payment information.
Information collected automatically:
Like most websites, our site may collect certain technical information automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This data helps us understand how visitors use our site so we can serve you better.
Cookies:
Our website may use cookies — small data files stored on your device — to improve your browsing experience and gather general site analytics. You can adjust your browser settings to decline cookies, though some features of the site may not function as intended if you do.

We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Ever.
How We Share Your Information
Ryker's Rainbow does not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
Service providers: We work with trusted third-party platforms (such as payment processors and email marketing tools) that help us operate our website and deliver our services. These partners are bound by their own privacy policies and are permitted to use your data only as necessary to provide services on our behalf.
Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal process.
Organizational protection: We may share information to protect the rights, safety, or property of Ryker's Rainbow, our volunteers, or others.

Stories & Testimonials
If you choose to share your story or submit a testimonial through our website, please know that any information you share may be used to communicate Ryker's Rainbow's mission and impact — in print, on social media, or on our website. We will always handle your story with the utmost care and will seek your permission before sharing any personally identifiable details publicly.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.
Data Security
We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. While no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, we are committed to doing our part to keep your information safe.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
