Introduction

MADE is a community-based organization comprised of multiple community partners working collaboratively to provide resources, services, programs, information, and opportunities that support and strengthen the communities we serve.

MADE is committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of individuals who visit our website, participate in our programs, access our resources, or otherwise engage with MADE and its participating partner organizations.

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, maintained, and shared through the MADE website and related activities. It also explains the choices individuals have regarding their personal information.

By accessing or using the MADE website, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to review this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

MADE may collect information that individuals voluntarily provide when interacting with our website or participating in community programs and activities.

This information may include:

• Personal Information: Name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and other contact information.

• Program and Service Information: Information submitted through program registrations, applications, inquiries, referrals, surveys, or requests for assistance.

• Communication Information: Messages, feedback, questions, and other communications submitted through our website or directly to MADE.

• Technical Information: Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser types, device information, website usage data, and other information collected through standard website technologies.

We seek to collect only information that is reasonably necessary to support MADE's website operations, community engagement, programs, and services.

How We Use Information

Information collected by MADE may be used to:

• Respond to questions, requests, and inquiries.

• Connect individuals with appropriate community resources and services.

• Facilitate access to programs, initiatives, and opportunities.

• Coordinate activities among participating community partners.

• Communicate important program updates, announcements, and organizational information.

• Improve our website, programs, and community engagement efforts.

• Evaluate program participation and service effectiveness.

• Meet applicable legal, regulatory, and administrative requirements.

MADE will use personal information for purposes consistent with the reason it was collected or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

Information Sharing Among MADE Partners

MADE operates through a collaborative network of multiple community partners. Depending on the nature of an individual's inquiry, participation, or request for assistance, information may be shared with participating partners when reasonably necessary to coordinate services, provide resources, facilitate referrals, or support community initiatives.

Partner organizations may have their own privacy policies, data management practices, and legal responsibilities.

MADE encourages individuals to review the privacy practices of individual partner organizations when providing information directly to those organizations.

Participation in MADE does not automatically authorize every partner organization to access all information collected through the MADE website. Access and information sharing should be limited to appropriate purposes and handled in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

Third-Party Websites and Services

The MADE website may contain links to websites, platforms, resources, or services operated by third parties, including participating community partners.

These external websites and services are not necessarily owned, operated, or controlled by MADE.

MADE is not responsible for the privacy policies, security practices, or content of third-party websites. Individuals are encouraged to review the privacy policies of external websites before submitting personal information.

Cookies and Website Technologies

The MADE website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve website functionality, understand visitor activity, and enhance the overall user experience.

These technologies may collect information such as browser preferences, website traffic, and interactions with website content.

Individuals may be able to manage or disable cookies through their internet browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Protection of Personal Information

MADE takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Appropriate safeguards may include administrative procedures, access controls, secure technologies, and other protective measures.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing electronic information is completely secure. Therefore, MADE cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

MADE retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, support organizational and program operations, meet applicable legal obligations, and resolve administrative matters.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information collected, the purpose for which it is maintained, and the requirements of participating partners or applicable laws.

Individual Privacy Rights and Choices

Individuals may have certain rights regarding their personal information, depending on applicable law.

These rights may include the ability to:

• Request access to personal information maintained by MADE.

• Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete information.

• Request deletion of personal information, where legally permitted.

• Withdraw consent for certain communications or uses of information.

• Ask questions about how personal information is collected, used, or shared.

Requests may be submitted using the contact information provided at the end of this policy.

Because MADE operates through multiple community partners, certain information may be maintained by an individual partner organization. Requests involving information held by a partner may need to be directed to that organization.

Children's Privacy

MADE recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of children and young individuals.

The MADE website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 without appropriate parental consent where required by law.

If MADE becomes aware that personal information has been collected from a child in circumstances that require parental consent, appropriate steps will be taken to address the information in accordance with applicable law.

Programs and services involving minors may have additional consent, confidentiality, and information-sharing requirements.

Communications

Individuals who provide contact information to MADE may receive communications related to program participation, community resources, organizational updates, events, and other relevant information.

Individuals may request to stop receiving nonessential communications by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in applicable communications or contacting MADE directly.

Certain administrative or program-related communications may still be necessary.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

MADE reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy as its website, programs, partnerships, and organizational practices evolve.

Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective or last-updated date.

Individuals are encouraged to periodically review this policy to remain informed about how their information is handled.
