Privacy Policy

This website, https://joeys.foundation, is run by The Joseph Robert Shaw Foundation, Inc., doing business as Joey’s Foundation, 5117 52nd Street NW, Washington, DC 20016.

We collect as little personal information as we can. The site has no advertising or analytics trackers, and we don’t sell personal information.

Contact form

Our contact form asks for your name, email address and message, and optionally your phone number and organization. When you send it, your message is emailed to members of our team through Brevo, an email delivery service. See Brevo’s privacy policy for details. Some of our team’s mailboxes are hosted by Google, so Google also processes these messages. The website doesn’t keep a copy. We keep messages in email for as long as we need them to reply and for our records.

Donations

Online donations are made on a separate secure payment site run by CardPointe (joeysfoundation.securepayments.cardpointe.com). Your payment details are entered there, not on this website, and CardPointe’s own privacy policy applies. We receive the donation details we need to record and acknowledge your gift.

Hosting and security logs

The site is hosted and protected by Deflect, a service of eQualit.ie, a Canadian company. To keep the site running and detect attacks, Deflect automatically logs each visit, including your IP address, the page address you requested and your browser type. It doesn’t log what you type into forms.

Deflect keeps these logs for 13 months, or longer if needed to investigate malicious activity, and keeps IP addresses blocked for suspicious activity indefinitely. This information may be stored outside Canada. See Deflect’s privacy notice for details.

Cookies

Deflect sets one security cookie, deflect_session, which lasts one hour. We don’t use advertising or analytics cookies.

Who we share your data with

We share personal information only with the service providers described on this page, or when the law requires it.

Your rights

You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Some records may need to be kept for administrative, legal or security reasons. To make a request, use our contact form.
