1. Purpose of This Policy

The Milwaukee Police Foundation (“MPF,” “we,” “our,” “us”) is committed to transparency and providing individuals with meaningful control over how their personal information is collected, used, and processed.

This Opt-Out Preferences Policy explains how you can:

  • Opt out of non-essential cookies and tracking technologies

This Policy works alongside our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Terms & Conditions.

Opting out will not affect legal, administrative, donation-related, or security-related communications, which we may still send as necessary.

3. Opt-Out of Cookies & Tracking Technologies (TrustArc)

MPF uses TrustArc as our cookie consent and compliance management platform.

3.1 What You Can Opt Out Of

  • Analytics cookies

TrustArc ensures compliance with GDPR, CCPA/CPRA (where applicable), and global best practices.

3.3 Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5. Opt-Out Options for U.S. Residents (Including California)

MPF voluntarily honors reasonable opt-out requests even in states without comprehensive privacy laws.

Where applicable under California’s CCPA/CPRA, you may:

Email: info@milwaukepolicefoundation.org
 Phone: (414) 988-7042

6. Opt-Out of Data Sharing With Third Parties

MPF shares personal information only with:

  • Service providers (e.g., payment processors, website hosts, email platforms) 
  • Legal, financial, or regulatory authorities when required 
  • Partners assisting with MPF-sponsored community programs 

You may request limits on optional sharing where feasible.
 However, MPF cannot restrict sharing required for:

  • Legal or financial compliance 
  • Website operation or essential services 
  • Security, fraud prevention, or integrity requirements

  • Enabling “Do Not Track” settings in your browser 
  • Installing opt-out browser add-ons (when available) 

TrustArc ensures such tools never activate for EU/UK visitors unless consent is explicitly given.

8. Requests on Behalf of Another Person

If you submit an opt-out or data request on behalf of someone else (e.g., family member or legal dependent), MPF may require verification of:

  • Your identity

We will not disclose personal information until verification is completed.

9. Verification of Requests

To protect user privacy, MPF may request additional information to verify identity before fulfilling:

  • Access requests 
  • Deletion requests 
  • Opt-out requests related to personal data

We will not request unnecessary sensitive information.

10. No Discrimination for Exercising Rights

MPF will not:

  • Deny services 
  • Charge different prices

because you exercise privacy, data rights, or opt-out preferences.

Certain site functions may be limited if non-essential cookies are disabled.
