Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Arkeo Financial Wisdom Inc. ("Arkeo," "we," "us") operates arkeocamino.org (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have. We are a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 84-1962360) — and we treat your personal information the way we would want our own treated.

By using the Site you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

2. Information we collect

We collect only what you choose to give us:

• Contact forms — name and email when you write to us, plus whatever you include in your message. You may leave name fields blank to communicate anonymously.
• Newsletter signups — an email address.
• Donation inquiries — name, email and the gift amount you tell us about. We never process card payments on this Site; giving instructions are handled personally by our treasurer.

Our hosting provider and analytics (if enabled) may record standard technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages visited.

3. How we use it

• To respond to your messages — within 5 business days, as we commit to.
• To send you our occasional newsletter, when you subscribe.
• To process giving instructions and issue receipts.
• To improve the Site and understand how visitors use it.

4. Donations & payments

This Site never collects or stores card numbers, bank details or other payment credentials. Donations by mail, stock transfer or other means are handled by our volunteer treasurer outside the Site. We issue a written receipt for every gift.

5. Cookies & analytics

The Site may use strictly necessary cookies for basic function. If analytics are enabled, they are configured to respect "Do Not Track" where possible and do not share data for advertising. We do not use ad networks, remarketing or tracking pixels, and we never sell your information.

6. Newsletter

You can unsubscribe from any newsletter email with the link we include in every message. Unsubscribing removes you from the list within 10 business days.

7. Sharing & disclosure

We share your information only with service providers we need to run the Site (hosting, email), and only to the extent necessary. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. We may disclose information when required by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of our community.

8. Retention

We keep contact messages for up to 2 years, donation records as required by applicable tax law (typically 7 years), and newsletter data until you unsubscribe.

9. Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time by writing to [email protected]. We respond within 5 business days and never charge for requests.

10. Children's privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

11. Security

The Site is served over HTTPS. Access to personal information is limited to the board officers who need it to perform their duties. No method of transmission is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your data.

12. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be announced on the Site before taking effect.

13. Contact
