Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 18, 2026
Growing Beyond Barriers (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a nonprofit organization based in Utah. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information you give us
- Contact form: your name, email address, topic, and message.
- Email updates and notification lists: your email address.
- Provider interest form: organization name, contact name, email, phone number, service type, and a description of your practice.
- Donations: donations are processed by a third-party payment processor. We receive your name, email, donation amount, and date so we can thank you and send a receipt. We never receive or store your full card or bank account number.
Please do not send medical information through this website. Our public forms are not designed to receive health information about you or your child. Family assistance applications will be handled through a separate, secure process.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This is used for security, troubleshooting, and keeping the site running. Our site uses caching and essential cookies needed for the site to function. Our fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address when a page loads.
How We Use Information
- To respond to your questions and messages
- To send updates you asked for, such as when applications open
- To evaluate provider partnership inquiries
- To process donations, issue receipts, and meet our legal and tax record-keeping obligations
- To protect the security of our website and prevent fraud or abuse
How We Share Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only:
- With service providers who help us operate, such as our website host, email service, and payment processor, and only as needed to perform those services
- When required by law, subpoena, or other legal process
- To protect the rights, safety, or property of Growing Beyond Barriers, the families we serve, or others
We do not publish donor names without permission.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Information about a child should only be provided by a parent or legal guardian through our secure application process. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us and we will delete it.
Data Retention and Security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, or as long as required by law (for example, donation records). We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Your Choices
- You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any email or by contacting us.
- You can ask to see, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us.
- You can set your browser to refuse cookies, though some parts of the site may not work properly.
Links to Other Websites
Our website may link to other sites, such as our payment processor or provider websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
