Your privacy matters to us.
A Contagious Smile LLC, referred to in this policy as “A Contagious Smile,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” operates acontagioussmile.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share information when you visit our website, use a form, register for a program or resource, make a donation, subscribe to communications, or otherwise contact us.
A NOTE ABOUT SAFETY
A Contagious Smile provides education, advocacy, resources, and peer support. Our website, forms, and email are not emergency, medical, mental health, legal, or crisis services. Do not send urgent safety information or sensitive medical details through this website. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing an emergency, call 911 or the emergency service in your location.
INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT
Information you provide directly. This may include your name, email address, telephone number, message, registration details, support or program interests, and other information you choose to submit through our forms or communications.
Information collected automatically. When you use our website, we or service providers may receive technical and usage information, such as your browser type, device type, IP address, pages viewed, approximate location inferred from an IP address, referral source, and interactions with the site. This information may be collected through cookies, analytics tools, server logs, or similar technologies.
Donation and payment information. Donations may be processed through third party payment platforms, including Buy Me a Coffee. Those providers handle payment details under their own privacy policies and security practices. We may receive limited transaction information, such as your name, email address, donation amount, date, and confirmation status. We do not receive or store full payment card numbers.
HOW WE USE INFORMATION
We may use information to respond to questions and requests, provide programs, resources, registrations, or communications you request, process and acknowledge donations, operate and improve the website, maintain security and prevent misuse, understand website use, comply with legal obligations, and communicate about our work when you have asked to hear from us.
We do not sell or rent personal information.
HOW INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED
We may share information with trusted service providers that help us host the website, deliver forms, manage email or scheduling, process payments, provide analytics, or support program delivery. These providers may use information only to perform their authorized services.
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect the safety, rights, or property of A Contagious Smile or others, or in connection with a merger, reorganization, or transfer of organizational assets. We do not authorize third parties to use your personal information for their own unrelated marketing.
COOKIES, ANALYTICS, AND EXTERNAL LINKS
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support functionality, understand site usage, and improve the visitor experience. You can adjust your browser settings to limit or block cookies, although some website features may not work as intended.
This website may link to or embed third party services, including donation, social media, video, calendar, or scheduling tools. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we encourage you to review those policies before providing information.

You may ask us to access, correct, update, or delete personal information we maintain about you. You may also opt out of nonessential email communications by using the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting us directly.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate parent or guardian involvement. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, please contact us so we can review and address the concern.
SECURITY AND RETENTION
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
