Effective Date: August 10, 2026

Website: guardianwatchflorida.org

​

1. Our Commitment to Privacy

Guardian Watch, Inc. (“Guardian Watch,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of individuals who visit our website, contact our organization, inquire about our programs, volunteer, donate, or otherwise interact with us.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through guardianwatchflorida.org (the “Website”), how we may use and protect that information, and the choices available to Website visitors.

By using the Website or voluntarily providing information to Guardian Watch, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

 

2. Information We May Collect

 

Depending on how you interact with Guardian Watch, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Telephone number

  • Mailing address

  • Organization or affiliation

  • Information submitted through contact or inquiry forms

  • Volunteer or program-interest information

  • Donation-related inquiries

  • Event or community participation information

  • Communications you send to Guardian Watch

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, financial account information, medical records, educational records, court records, passwords, or other highly sensitive information through a general Website contact form unless Guardian Watch specifically provides an appropriate secure method for doing so.

 

3. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the Website platform or third-party services used to operate the Website.

This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, pages viewed, approximate geographic area, date and time of visits, and interactions with Website features.

Guardian Watch may use this information to maintain Website security, understand Website usage, identify technical problems, and improve the visitor experience.

 

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website and services integrated into it may use cookies, pixels, analytics technologies, or similar tools.

These technologies may help the Website function properly, remember preferences, measure traffic, understand how visitors use the Website, improve content, and support Website security.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete certain cookies. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some Website features.

 

5. How We May Use Information

Guardian Watch may use information collected through the Website to:

  • Respond to questions and requests

  • Provide information about Guardian Watch programs

  • Communicate with parents, guardians, educators, volunteers, donors, supporters, and community partners

  • Process volunteer or participation inquiries

  • Respond to donation or sponsorship inquiries

  • Coordinate programs, events, and community activities

  • Improve Website content and functionality

  • Maintain Website security

  • Maintain appropriate organizational records

  • Comply with legal or regulatory obligations

  • Protect Guardian Watch, program participants, volunteers, supporters, and others

 

Guardian Watch does not intend to sell personal information collected through its Website.

 

6. Children’s and Youth Privacy

Guardian Watch provides programs and services designed to support young people and their families. Protecting the privacy and safety of children and youth is especially important to us.

The public Website is intended primarily for parents, legal guardians, educators, volunteers, donors, community partners, and other adults.

Children under 13 should not independently submit personal information through the Website without the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

Guardian Watch does not knowingly use its general public Website to collect personal information online directly from children under 13 in a manner inconsistent with applicable law.

If we learn that personal information from a child was submitted through the Website inappropriately, we will take reasonable steps to review and, where appropriate, delete the information.

Parents or legal guardians who believe a child has submitted personal information through the Website may contact Guardian Watch.

 

7. Program Participant Information

Information concerning students, youth participants, families, mentoring relationships, educational assistance, advocacy services, or other Guardian Watch programs may require additional privacy protections beyond this general Website Privacy Policy.

Guardian Watch may use separate consent forms, releases, applications, participation agreements, or secure communication processes for program-specific information.

Visitors should not submit confidential case information, educational records, medical information, court information, or other sensitive information through a general Website contact form.

 

8. Donations and Payment Information

Guardian Watch may provide opportunities for visitors to donate, sponsor programs, or otherwise financially support the organization.

If donations or payments are processed through a third-party payment provider, that provider may collect payment-card, banking, billing, or transaction information according to its own privacy policy and security practices.

Guardian Watch should not receive or retain complete payment-card information when transactions are processed directly by an independent payment processor unless specifically required for legitimate operational purposes.

 

9. Volunteers

Individuals interested in volunteering may be asked to provide information necessary to evaluate and coordinate volunteer opportunities.

Certain volunteer positions involving children or other vulnerable individuals may require additional screening, applications, identification, background checks, references, or other information.

Such information may be governed by additional notices, consent forms, or agreements and should be handled through appropriate secure processes.

 

10. How We May Share Information

Guardian Watch may share personal information when reasonably necessary with service providers that help us operate our Website or organization, such as website hosting, communications, analytics, technology, event, payment, or professional service providers.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, court order, governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the safety, rights, or property of Guardian Watch, its participants, volunteers, employees, supporters, or others.

 

Guardian Watch does not intend to sell or rent Website visitors’ personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

 

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party websites and services, including video platforms, social media networks, community partners, news organizations, donation services, or other resources.

Guardian Watch does not control the privacy, security, accessibility, or data practices of these third parties.

Visitors should review the privacy policies of third-party websites before providing personal information to them.

 

12. Photographs and Videos

Guardian Watch may display photographs, videos, event images, program activities, and other media on its Website.

When appropriate, Guardian Watch seeks to obtain permissions or releases consistent with its organizational policies before publishing identifiable images of program participants, particularly minors.

Questions or concerns regarding an image or video appearing on the Website may be directed to Guardian Watch.

 

13. Data Security

Guardian Watch seeks to use reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no Website, internet transmission, email communication, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Visitors should therefore use appropriate caution when transmitting personal or sensitive information electronically

 

14. Data Retention

Guardian Watch may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, administer programs, maintain organizational or financial records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect the organization, or support legitimate nonprofit operations.

Information that is no longer reasonably necessary may be deleted, anonymized, or securely archived in accordance with Guardian Watch’s applicable policies and legal obligations.

 

15. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable law and the nature of the information, you may contact Guardian Watch to request that we:

  • Correct inaccurate contact information

  • Update your information

  • Stop certain communications

  • Review a privacy concern

  • Delete information when appropriate and legally permitted

Certain information may need to be retained for legal, safety, financial, program administration, or recordkeeping purposes.

 

16. Email Communications

If Guardian Watch sends newsletters, event announcements, fundraising communications, or other promotional emails, recipients should be provided with an appropriate method to unsubscribe from future marketing communications.

Guardian Watch may still send administrative, transactional, safety-related, or program-related communications when appropriate.

 

17. Do Not Track and Browser Privacy Controls

Some browsers and devices provide privacy controls or “Do Not Track” signals. Because standards for interpreting these signals may vary, the Website may not respond uniformly to all browser-based signals.

Guardian Watch will continue to evaluate appropriate privacy controls as Website technology and applicable requirements evolve.

 

18. Accessibility and Privacy

Guardian Watch is committed to making its digital information accessible. If a disability prevents you from accessing this Privacy Policy or submitting a privacy request through the Website, please contact Guardian Watch so that we can make reasonable efforts to provide an alternative communication method.

 

19. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Guardian Watch may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in the Website, technology, organizational practices, programs, third-party services, or applicable requirements.

When changes are made, the revised Privacy Policy should be posted on the Website with an updated effective date.

Visitors are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

Generally speaking, a Privacy Policy often addresses these types of issues: the types of information the website is collecting and the manner in which it collects the data; an explanation about why is the website collecting these types of information; what are the website’s practices on sharing the information with third parties; ways in which your visitors and customers can exercise their rights according to the relevant privacy legislation; the specific practices regarding minors’ data collection; and much, much more.
