Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring pages and the date and time of your visit. This information may be collected using cookies and similar technologies.

How we share your information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers that help us operate the Site and our programs, such as our website hosting provider, donation platform (Zeffy), email marketing platform (Mailchimp), email delivery and security services. These providers may use your information only to perform services for us.

Donations

Online donations and payments are processed by Zeffy, a third-party donation platform. Regen does not store your full credit card or bank account information. Your payment information is collected and handled by Zeffy in accordance with its own privacy policy and security practices.

Email communications

If you sign up for our newsletter, we will send you news and updates about Regen. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any email or by contacting us. We may still send you transactional messages, such as donation receipts.

Cookies and analytics

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies to make the Site work, remember your preferences and understand how visitors use the Site. We may use third-party analytics services for this purpose. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some features of the Site may not work properly without them.

Third-party links and embedded content

The Site may contain links to other websites and embedded content from third parties (for example, donation forms, videos, maps or social media). These third parties may collect information about you according to their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices, and we encourage you to review their policies.

Data retention and security

We keep personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. Some of our education programs serve students; information related to those programs is collected through schools, teachers or parents and guardians. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information through the Site, please contact us and we will delete it.
