This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through our website, how we use and share that information, and the choices available to individuals who provide information to us.

StreetLink NYC, Inc. is a New York not-for-profit corporation recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, our website hosting provider and other technology providers may automatically collect or process limited technical information associated with your visit.

This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, general website activity, and similar technical information.

Our website may also use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, security, performance, or basic analytics.

StreetLink NYC does not use information collected through this website for behavioral advertising.

Information About Minors

StreetLink NYC welcomes youth involvement, and individuals under 18 may be interested in appropriate volunteer and community-service opportunities.

When StreetLink NYC knows that an individual is under 18, we seek to limit the collection and use of that individual's personal information to purposes reasonably necessary to respond to their request, coordinate appropriate activities, communicate with them, maintain safety and organizational records, and comply with applicable law.

StreetLink NYC does not sell or rent the personal information of minors and does not use information provided by minors for targeted or behavioral advertising.

Our website is a general-audience nonprofit website and is not primarily directed toward children under 13.

Children under 13 should not independently submit personal information through StreetLink NYC website forms. A parent or legal guardian should contact StreetLink NYC on their behalf.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 was submitted directly to StreetLink NYC in circumstances where it should not have been collected, we will take reasonable steps to appropriately handle or delete that information.

New York law provides additional protections for the personal data of minors under 18, including restrictions on selling such data.

How We Share Information

StreetLink NYC does not sell or rent personal information.

We may allow trusted service providers to process information when reasonably necessary to operate our website or organization. These may include providers that support website hosting, forms, communications, data storage, payment processing, or similar administrative and technical functions.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law or lawful legal process

• Protect the rights, property, or safety of StreetLink NYC or others

• Investigate or prevent fraud, misuse, or security incidents

• Respond to an emergency involving someone's safety

We do not provide personal information to unrelated third parties for their independent advertising or marketing purposes.

Donations and Payment Information

If and when StreetLink NYC enables online financial donations, payments may be processed through an independent third-party payment processor.

StreetLink NYC does not intend to directly collect or store complete credit-card, debit-card, or bank-account information entered into a third-party payment system.

The payment processor may provide StreetLink NYC with limited transaction information necessary to maintain donation records, such as a donor's name, contact information, contribution amount, transaction date, and payment status.

Information entered directly into an external payment processor is also subject to that provider's privacy policy and terms.

Data Retention

StreetLink NYC retains personal information for only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate organizational records, fulfill legitimate administrative needs, comply with legal obligations, or protect StreetLink NYC and individuals who interact with us.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, securely dispose of, or otherwise appropriately handle it.

Data Security

StreetLink NYC takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Access to information should be limited to individuals who reasonably need it to perform StreetLink NYC activities or responsibilities.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. StreetLink NYC therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.

New York law requires reasonable safeguards for covered personal information, which is one reason we should keep the site's data collection limited to what StreetLink actually needs.

Your Choices and Requests

You may contact StreetLink NYC if you would like to:

• Ask questions about information you previously submitted

• Request correction of inaccurate information

• Request deletion of information that StreetLink NYC no longer needs to retain

• Ask questions about our privacy practices

Certain information may need to be retained when reasonably necessary for legal, safety, financial, recordkeeping, or other legitimate organizational purposes.

The StreetLink NYC website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including social-media platforms, community resources, or payment-processing services.

StreetLink NYC does not control the privacy or security practices of third parties.

When you leave our website or provide information directly to another service, that organization's privacy policy and terms apply to your interaction with that service.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

StreetLink NYC may update this Privacy Policy as our website, programs, technology, operations, or legal obligations change.
