The St. Kizito Foundation uses Stripe to securely process online payments. The most common example is when visitors RSVP to fundraising events by purchasing tickets online. Customers utilize Stripe's dedicated "Checkout" platform to pay online, which is completely separate from the St. Kizito Foundation's website. The St. Kizito Foundation does not collect nor store sensitive payment information on our server. The only information stored on our server related to online payments is:

• Payment status (e.g., "Paid")
• Payment date and time
• Transaction ID (a random string of letters, numbers, and symbols)
• Payment amount
• Item and quantity (e.g., five event tickets)

The St. Kizito Foundation encourages users to familiarize themselves with Stripe's security practices on their website:

Today, most websites use cookies to improve user experience and understand how consumers interact with their products, services, and sales and marketing channels. In plain terms, a cookie is a small text file downloaded to your computer when you open a website. It resides in your browser or on your device. Cookies enable the website to "remember" things about you.

The St. Kizito Foundation uses cookies to enhance the user experience and collect statistics. As of this writing, it uses Google Analytics to understand how our users utilize its website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous information about our website's traffic and what our users do. This information includes pages visited, events (e.g., scrolls, clicks, file downloads), and how a user first arrived on our site (e.g., from a search engine).

When users visit our website for the first time, a cookie banner appears giving the option to accept or deny cookies. If a user declines cookies, a single cookie will be stored on their device to remember their choice. The St. Kizito Foundation leverages Google's Consent Mode to modify its analytics and tracking practices automatically based on the preferences of each user.

We encourage users to read Google Analytics' privacy policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. However, given the internet's global reach, CalOPPA stretches well beyond California's borders to all companies in the United States (and, in reality, the world) that operate websites that collect personal information from California consumers.

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

• Users can visit our site anonymously.
• Users can easily access our privacy policy in our website's page footer.
• Our privacy policy link includes the word "Privacy."
• We will notify users of any privacy policy changes on our policy page.
• Users can change their personal information by emailing us.

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control when collecting personal information from children under 13. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under 13.
