Last Updated: August 30, 2026

3rd Coast Country Outdoors Foundation (“3CCO Foundation,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and protected when you visit 3ccofoundation.org, contact us, participate in our programs, or otherwise interact with the Foundation.

Information We Collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, information submitted through contact or nomination forms, program inquiries, volunteer or partnership information, and other information you choose to provide. If you make a donation or other payment through our website, payment information may be processed by third-party payment processors. The Foundation does not necessarily receive or store your complete payment-card information. Our website and service providers may also automatically collect certain technical information, such as browser type, device information, IP address, pages visited, referring websites, and general website usage information.

How We Use Information

We may use information collected through our website to respond to inquiries; communicate about Foundation programs and activities; process donations; coordinate volunteers, participants, donors, sponsors, and partners; evaluate nominations or requests for assistance; improve our website and programs; maintain appropriate records; protect the Foundation and its users; and comply with applicable legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, understand website traffic, remember preferences, and improve the visitor experience. Our website is hosted through Squarespace, which may use cookies, analytics, and other technologies in connection with providing its services. Other third-party services integrated with our website may also collect information according to their own privacy policies.

Donations and Payments

When online donations or payments are offered, transactions may be processed through third-party payment providers. Information submitted to those providers is subject to their respective privacy and security practices. The Foundation does not guarantee the privacy or security practices of third-party websites or services.

Children and Youth

The Foundation's mission includes serving youth and families. Our public website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate parental or legal guardian involvement or consent. Information concerning minors that is necessary for participation in Foundation programs may be collected separately with appropriate parent or guardian authorization and handled with additional care.

Sharing Information

We may share information with service providers, contractors, volunteers, program partners, or other organizations when reasonably necessary to operate the Foundation, provide requested services, administer programs, process transactions, or comply with law. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of the Foundation, our participants, or others. We do not sell or rent donor, participant, or contact information for commercial marketing purposes.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or social-media platforms, including Facebook. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites. Visitors should review the privacy policies of those services before providing personal information.

Information Security

We take reasonable administrative and organizational measures to protect information entrusted to the Foundation. However, no website, electronic communication, or method of data storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Choices

You may contact us to request that we update or correct personal information you have provided, or to ask that we discontinue certain communications, subject to information we may need to retain for legitimate operational, financial, legal, or recordkeeping purposes.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the Foundation, our programs, our website, or applicable requirements change. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
