Privacy information

What happens when you browse, contact the mission or follow a donation link.

Browsing this website

These pages do not ask you to create a donor account or enter payment details. We have not added advertising trackers, visitor analytics or session-recording tools. Photos and fonts are served with the website.

When your browser requests a page, the hosting service receives technical details such as your IP address, browser information and the page requested. Hosting and access services may use technical logs and cookies to deliver and protect the site. This is separate from the information you choose to send to the mission. This site is hosted on GitHub Pages, and GitHub may log visitors' IP addresses for security; see GitHub's privacy statement.

Contacting the mission

Email links open your own email service; phone links open your calling app. If you contact Todd, the contact details and information you share are received outside this website. Please share only what is needed for your enquiry. Do not email card numbers, bank details, identification documents or medical records.

Donating through Givebutter

The fundraiser link takes you to Givebutter. Its checkout and payment providers handle the transaction; these website pages do not receive your card or bank details.

Givebutter can make donor contact and transaction information available to the fundraiser. Its privacy policy explains its own data use, service providers, advertising practices and privacy choices. Read Givebutter’s privacy policy before donating.

Choosing an anonymous donation can hide your name or amount from the public; it does not hide your information from the fundraiser. Review any public message or photo before posting it.

Donating through Zelle

Zelle payments are made in your own bank’s app. This website does not receive or store them. Your bank and Zelle handle the transaction under their own terms, and the recipient receives the payment details your bank provides.

Your questions and requests

For questions about information held by the mission—including access, corrections, deletion, retention or who can see it—contact Todd Lance or call (803) 242-3135. Include enough information to explain your request without sending sensitive documents.

For information held by Givebutter, use the contact and privacy-request options in its privacy policy. Financial and legal recordkeeping obligations can affect whether a record can be deleted.

If you appear in a photo on this website and would like it removed, contact Todd and say which photo. We will take it down.

Other websites

News coverage and other linked services have their own privacy practices. This information describes these website pages and does not replace another provider’s privacy notice.
