Privacy Policy

Additional Privacy Information

The policy above is generated and maintained with iubenda and describes the data this website collects and the services it uses. The sections below are part of this Privacy Policy and cover matters specific to the Milwaukee Police Foundation that the generated document does not address.

1. International Transfers of Personal Data

If you are located outside the United States, please be aware that personal data submitted via the Site may be processed in the U.S. or in other countries where our service providers operate.

Where required by GDPR (for EEA/UK users), we adopt appropriate safeguards such as:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)
  • Data-processing agreements with vendors
  • Additional measures to protect data transferred outside the EEA/UK

2. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to:

  • Fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected (e.g., donation records, communication, legal obligations), and/or
  • Comply with applicable legal, tax, and regulatory requirements.

When personal data is no longer needed, we will delete or anonymize it in accordance with our internal retention policies and applicable laws.

3. U.S. State Privacy Rights

Depending on your state, including California, you may have rights such as:

  • The right to know what categories of personal information we collect and the purposes for which we use it
  • The right to request access to specific personal information we hold about you
  • The right to request deletion of personal information, subject to legal exceptions (e.g., donation records subject to tax laws)
  • The right to correct inaccurate personal information
  • The right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (MPF does not sell personal information)
  • The right not to be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights

To exercise any rights, please contact us using the contact details in the policy above.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

4. Security of Personal Data

We implement reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against:

  • Unauthorized or unlawful access
  • Loss, misuse, or alteration
  • Accidental destruction or damage

These measures may include:

  • Secure hosting environments
  • Access controls and role-based permissions
  • Encryption and secure transmission where appropriate
  • Vendor due diligence and contractual safeguards

However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 through the Site.

If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

6. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services (for example, donation platforms or social media). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites.

We are not responsible for:

  • The privacy practices of third parties
  • The content or security of external websites

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Our website forms are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which runs invisibly to distinguish people from automated traffic; Cloudflare’s handling of that data is described in the Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
