Privacy

Plain language about what we collect and what we don't.

Browsing without an account

You can browse organizations, ways to help, services and the regional map without signing in. The "Describe it in your own words" box runs on your device; what you type is not sent to us or saved. Items you "Save" are kept only in your browser's local storage; we never see them, and clearing your browser data removes them.

If you create an account

We store your email address and a securely hashed password so you can sign in. While you're signed in, your browser keeps a sign-in token in its local storage; signing out removes it.

If you list an organization

We collect what you enter: the organization's name, county, description, website, action links, focus tags, ways to help and services, plus private contact details you provide for verification. Contact details are seen only by Give SEMO staff who review requests. Everything else becomes public only after an independent publisher approves it. We keep a record of review decisions (who acted and when) to protect the integrity of listings.

What we never collect

  • Payment or card details — gifts go directly to each organization through its own site.
  • Donor lists or donor history.
  • Records about the people organizations serve.
  • Advertising or tracking cookies.

We do not sell or share your information for marketing.

Visitor analytics

Our hosting provider, Lovable, counts visits to the published site. It uses no cookies, stores nothing on your device, doesn't keep IP addresses and doesn't identify visitors. Lovable collects this data for us. Lovable's privacy policy explains how it handles it.

It records the pages visited, where visitors came from, their country, browser, operating system and device type, how long they stay, how fast pages load, errors, and which buttons and links are clicked. This is recorded for every visitor. Detailed data is kept for 90 days and daily summaries for a year.

Other services

Pages load fonts from Google Fonts, so your browser contacts Google, which receives your IP address and browser details. Accounts and listings are stored with our hosting and database provider. When something breaks, a technical error report (with no form contents) may be sent so we can fix it.

Your choices

You can ask us to correct or delete your account or your organization's information. Organization owners can close a published listing from their workspace at any time.
