Heart & Hammer TX does not intentionally store complete credit or debit card numbers on its own website or servers when payments are processed by a third-party payment provider. Payment information is transmitted to and handled by the applicable payment processor in accordance with that provider's security practices, terms, and privacy policy.

We Do Not Sell Personal Information
Heart & Hammer TX does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We do not sell donor lists or personal information submitted through our website to advertisers, marketers, data brokers, or other third parties.
We may share limited personal information with trusted service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our organization or website. These providers may include payment processors, website hosting providers, email providers, accounting or financial services, analytics providers, and other technology or administrative services.
These providers may only receive information necessary to perform their respective services and are subject to their own privacy and security obligations.
We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, safety, or legal interests of Heart & Hammer TX, our supporters, or others.
Donor Privacy
Heart & Hammer TX values the trust of our donors and supporters. Personal donor information is used for purposes reasonably related to processing and acknowledging donations, maintaining financial records, communicating with donors, and supporting the organization's mission.
We do not sell or rent donor information to third parties for marketing purposes.
If donor recognition is offered publicly, such as on our website, at an event, or in organizational materials, we will respect requests to remain anonymous when reasonably possible.
Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to provide website functionality, understand how visitors use our site, measure website performance, and improve the visitor experience.
Third-party services integrated with our website may also collect certain technical information according to their own privacy policies.
Most web browsers allow you to manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some portions of our website.
Data Security
Heart & Hammer TX takes reasonable administrative and technical measures to safeguard the personal information entrusted to us. However, no website, electronic transmission, payment system, or data storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through our website.
Sensitive payment information should only be submitted through the designated secure payment or donation system provided on our website.
Data Retention
We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Certain donation and transaction records may be retained for longer periods when necessary to comply with tax, accounting, legal, financial reporting, or nonprofit recordkeeping requirements.
When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary for these purposes, we may delete or securely dispose of it.

If you provide your email address or other contact information, Heart & Hammer TX may use it to respond to your inquiry, provide information related to your donation or participation, or communicate with you about our organization and activities.
Where applicable, you may opt out of non-essential promotional or fundraising emails by using the unsubscribe instructions included in those communications or by contacting us directly.
Transactional communications, such as donation receipts or information related to an active request, may still be sent when necessary.
