Operation Light Shine (“we,” “us”) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 85-2555554). This policy explains what information we collect when you use operationlightshine.org, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information you give us. When you fill out a form on this site (such as our contact form or law enforcement partnership form), make a donation, sign up for email updates, or make a purchase, we collect the details you provide. This may include your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, agency or organization, and your message.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our site and the services that run it automatically receive basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and the site that referred you. Some of this is collected through cookies and similar technologies.
Online donations are processed by our donation platform, WeGive, and its payment processors. We do not receive or store your full card or bank account number. We receive your name, contact details, and gift information so we can thank you, provide a receipt, and keep accurate records.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only:
We use cookies to keep the site working and to understand how it is used. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some parts of the site may not work as intended if you do. Some pages include content from other services, such as embedded YouTube videos, interactive maps, and web fonts. These services may receive your IP address and set their own cookies under their own privacy policies.
If you sign up for email from us, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any message, or by contacting us.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes described here, including to meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements for donation records.
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop sending you communications. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state law. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
