Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 2026

The Quincy House Preservation Foundation ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information that is necessary to communicate with you and improve your experience on our website. We collect this information in two ways:

  • Information You Provide to Us: When you fill out the contact form on our website, we collect personal information such as your name, email address, and any other details you choose to include in your message.

  • Information Collected Automatically: We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors interact with our site. This automatically collects non-personally identifiable information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and the pages you visit.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your inquiries, questions, or feedback submitted through our contact form.

  • To analyze website traffic and user behavior via Google Analytics, which helps us improve our website's content and performance.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses "cookies" (small text files placed on your device) through Google Analytics to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We only share your information in the following limited situations:

  • Service Providers: With trusted third-party service providers (like Google Analytics) who assist us in operating our website, as long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

  • Legal Requirements: If required by law, we may disclose your information to comply with a subpoena, legal process, or government request.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the personal information you submit to us. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to other sites (such as our YouTube channel or donation platforms). If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit, as we have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of third-party sites.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date" at the top.
