OATH Recovery, Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website located at www.oathrecovery.org (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you visit our website, make a donation, or interact with our online services. We operate in the state of Georgia, United States, and are committed to maintaining data privacy standards that respect our users, including frameworks aligned with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.
1. Information We Collect
We collect several types of information from and about users of our Website, including:
• Personal Data: Information by which you may be personally identified, such as your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and telephone number. We collect this when you voluntarily fill out a form, sign up for an update, or make a donation.
• Payment and Donation Data: When you make financial contributions, our system interfaces with third-party payment gateways. We collect details necessary to log your transaction, but your full credit card or bank credentials are sent directly to those secure, PCI-compliant vendors.
• Usage and Technical Data: Includes details about your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Website, IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, and usage patterns collected automatically as you navigate through the site.
2. Cookies and Third-Party Tracking Technologies
Our Website utilizes cookies, web beacons, and tracking pixels (such as Google Analytics or social media advertising pixels) to evaluate website performance, improve user experience, and analyze our outreach efforts.
Important Notice: Please note that our Website does not currently utilize an automated cookie consent management banner. Cookies and automated tracking scripts deploy immediately upon loading the page. By continuing to browse our Website, you consent to this tracking.
If you wish to prevent tracking, you must manually adjust your web browser settings to block or delete cookies, or utilize privacy-focused browser extensions. Our systems are built to recognize Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals when broadcast by your browser to restrict tracking where technically supported.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
• Provide, support, and maintain the functionality of our Website.
• Process donation payments safely, issue tax receipts, and audit financial files.
• Respond to your direct questions, inquiries, and customer service requests.
• Deliver newsletters, updates, or informational materials you have requested.
• Monitor website performance, debug technical errors, and guard against fraudulent or unauthorized activity.
4. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information under these limited paths:
• Service Providers: We provide details to trusted vendors, cloud hosting environments, or payment providers (such as Stripe or PayPal) who assist us in operating our site and processing donations under strict privacy mandates.
• Legal Requirements: We will release information if required by a court order, subpoena, government inquiry, or state/federal law in the state of Georgia.
• Restructuring: If OATH Recovery, Inc. undergoes an organizational merger, restructuring, or transfer of assets, user logs may be securely handed over to the succeeding entity.
5. Third-Party Payment Protection
All online donations are handled securely via third-party providers. OATH Recovery, Inc. does not store, process, or view full credit card numbers or banking passwords on our local servers. All payment handling complies strictly with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
6. California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act affords you unique provisions regarding your personal data:
• Right to Know and Access: You can request details regarding the categories and specific pieces of information we have collected about you over the past 12 months.
• Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete personal data we collected from you, subject to legal constraints (such as maintaining tax records of donations).
• Right to Correct: You may request that we update inaccurate personal details.
• Right to Opt-Out of Selling or Sharing: Because our site deploys third-party analytics and advertising pixels automatically, this may be legally deemed a “sale” or “sharing” of data for cross-context advertising under California definitions. California residents can declare an opt-out via browser protections like Global Privacy Control (GPC).
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not deny you services or charge a different rate because you exercise your privacy options.
7. European Union Privacy Rights (GDPR)
If you reside within the European Economic Area (EEA), the General Data Protection Regulation applies to our handling of your information:
• Legal Bases for Processing: We process your information only when we have your explicit consent, when it is required to execute a contract (like processing a donation request), or when it serves a legitimate business interest that does not outweigh your basic freedoms.
• Data Transfers: Your data is processed and stored primarily in the United States. By providing your information, you acknowledge that international laws may differ from EEA guidelines, and we use structured guardrails to protect this transit path.
• Your Rights: You hold the right to access your files, request immediate corrections, demand data deletion (“Right to be Forgotten”), object to automated profile analysis, restrict certain processing methods, and request a digital copy of your records in a portable file standard.
• Supervisory Authorities: You maintain the right to register a structural complaint with a recognized EEA Data Protection Authority.
8. Data Security and Retention
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safety standards to prevent intentional or accidental data leakage, loss, or unauthorized exploitation. However, no internet vector is entirely foolproof, and we cannot guarantee flawless security.
We preserve personal data only as long as necessary to satisfy our professional services, fulfill financial accounting rules under Georgia law, or satisfy federal tax obligations concerning non-profit donations.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our Website is not structured for or directed toward children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly harvest information from individuals under 13. If we discover an inadvertent collection of data from a minor, we will erase it promptly from our active records.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
OATH Recovery, Inc. reserves the right to modify this policy document at any time. When updates occur, we will adjust the “Effective Date” at the top of this document. We advise you to review this file regularly to ensure you understand our current data handling methodologies.
