Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 5, 2026
Rainbow Flight To Freedom (“RFTF,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information thoughtfully and responsibly.

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and shared when you visit the Rainbow Flight To Freedom website or interact with us through our website and related online services.

Information You Provide to Us

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide when you contact RFTF, submit a form, request information or support, make a donation, or otherwise communicate with us.

Depending on how you interact with RFTF, this information may include your name, email address, telephone number, information included in messages or form submissions, donation-related information, and other information you voluntarily choose to provide.

Because RFTF serves LGBTQIA+ people who may be experiencing displacement, instability, unsafe circumstances, or other sensitive situations, communications with us may sometimes contain personal or sensitive information.

We encourage you to provide only the information necessary for us to respond to your request.

How We Use Information

RFTF may use information provided to us to:
• Respond to questions, requests, or inquiries
• Provide information about resources, programs, or services
• Communicate with individuals seeking support
• Process and acknowledge donations
• Maintain appropriate organizational and administrative records
• Improve our website, programs, resources, and communications
• Protect the security and integrity of our website and organization
• Comply with applicable legal obligations
RFTF does not sell personal information.

Donations and Givebutter

RFTF uses Givebutter to facilitate online donations.

When you make a donation through Givebutter, certain information you provide is processed through Givebutter and its payment-processing partners. Givebutter states that donor payment information is collected and processed by third-party payment processors rather than by Givebutter itself.

RFTF therefore does not directly collect or store your complete credit-card or bank-account information through the RFTF website when you make a donation using our Givebutter donation form.

Information associated with a donation—such as your name, contact information, donation amount, and other information you elect to provide—may be made available to RFTF for purposes such as donation administration, acknowledgment, recordkeeping, and communication.

Your use of Givebutter is also subject to Givebutter's own privacy practices.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website or third-party services incorporated into it may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for functionality, security, preferences, embedded services, or other website operations.

Third-party services may have their own cookie and privacy practices. The types of cookies present on the RFTF website may change as website functionality changes.

Third-Party Services

RFTF may use third-party service providers to operate portions of our website or provide services such as website hosting, forms, fundraising, payment processing, security, or other technical functions.

These providers may process information as necessary to perform their services and are governed by their own terms and privacy practices.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services when appropriate.

External Links

The RFTF website may contain links to websites or services operated by other organizations.

RFTF does not control the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites. Visiting an external website is subject to that website's own policies and practices.

Information Sharing

RFTF may share personal information when reasonably necessary to operate our organization, respond to your request, provide requested services, work with service providers, comply with applicable law or legal process, or protect the rights, safety, and security of RFTF or others.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

Data Security

RFTF takes reasonable steps intended to safeguard personal information within our control.

However, no website, email system, electronic transmission, or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For that reason, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted electronically.

Data Retention

RFTF may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, for legitimate organizational and administrative needs, or as required by applicable law.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.

Children's Privacy

The RFTF website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate authorization.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to RFTF through the website, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.

Your Privacy Requests

You may contact RFTF if you have questions about personal information you have provided to us or wish to request that we review, correct, or delete information within our control.

Certain information may need to be retained when required by law or for legitimate organizational, financial, security, or recordkeeping purposes.
