The Show Up Foundation
Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 20, 2026
The Show Up Foundation (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the information you share through showupfoundation.org (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices available to you.
1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you sign up to receive our free 7-day guide, subscribe to updates, contact us, or otherwise communicate with us through the Site. The primary information we collect through our opt-in form is your email address. If you choose to contact us directly, we may also receive any additional information you include in your message.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to deliver the requested guide and related email communications, respond to inquiries, improve our Site, understand how visitors engage with our content, maintain the security and functionality of the Site, and support our nonprofit mission of serving foster care families, orphan advocacy efforts, and caregiver resources.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our Site may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to improve performance, remember visitor preferences, understand Site traffic, and support embedded or third-party tools. Cookies are small data files stored on your device by your browser. You may adjust your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies, but some parts of the Site may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
4. Third-Party Services
We may rely on third-party service providers to operate portions of the Site and our nonprofit activities, such as website hosting, email delivery, analytics, security, embedded content, and donation processing. These providers may process information on our behalf as needed to perform their services. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party services linked from or integrated with the Site, because their policies govern their own handling of data.
5. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate the Site and communicate with supporters, or when disclosure is required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of the Site, our organization, or others.
6. Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
7. Your Choices
You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us directly. You may also contact us to request that we update or delete the personal information you have submitted, subject to any legal or operational obligations that require retention.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our Site is intended for adults, caregivers, advocates, donors, and community members interested in our mission. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under the age of 13 without appropriate legal permission. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information through the Site, please contact us so that we can review and delete the information as appropriate.
9. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information submitted through the Site. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices, legal requirements, or Site functionality. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date above.
