Privacy & Data Respect

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how The Wealth Gap Resolution Algorithm™ Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website, participate in our programs and games, make a donation, or contact us. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. This page is for general informational purposes and is not legal advice.

1. Information We Collect

We aim to collect only the information we need to run our programs, stay in touch with you, and improve our services. This may include:

• Contact Information: such as your name, email address, phone number, and any details you share when you use our contact form, sign up for updates, or communicate with us.
• Donation Information: the amount, date, and method of your donation. We do not see or store your full card number, bank account information, or login details for PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, or other payment platforms. That information stays with the third-party payment processor.
• Program & Game Participation: information you choose to share when you join workshops, play our educational games (such as digital safety or financial literacy games), complete surveys, or provide feedback.
• Technical Information: basic, non-identifying data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on our site, typically collected through cookies or similar tools.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your questions, messages, and requests for support.
• Process and acknowledge donations, including sending thank-you messages and receipts where appropriate.
• Plan, deliver, and improve our programs, workshops, and games.
• Send you updates about events, resources, or opportunities if you choose to receive them.
• Maintain the security and performance of our website.
• Comply with legal, accounting, or reporting requirements applicable to nonprofit organizations.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to understand how visitors use our pages and to help the site function properly. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings, including disabling them, though some features of the site may not work as intended if cookies are turned off.

4. Third-Party Services and Payment Processors

We partner with trusted third-party service providers to help us operate our website, manage forms, and securely process payments. These may include:

• Payment platforms such as PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, and secure credit/debit card processors.
• Form tools such as Contact Form 7 or similar systems used to collect messages you submit through our website.
• Analytics or website tools that help us understand general site usage (for example, which pages are visited most often).

These third parties have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle your data. We encourage you to review those policies directly on their websites. We do not sell or rent your personal information.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell or trade your personal information. We may share information only in limited situations, such as:

• With service providers who perform work on our behalf (for example, email systems, event platforms, or payment processors) and who are required to protect your information.
• When required by law, regulation, court order, or government request.
• To protect our rights, safety, or property, or the rights, safety, or property of others.
• With your explicit permission, such as listing your name as a supporter or partner when you agree to that use.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we collect, including the use of secure connections (HTTPS) and working with reputable third-party providers. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we ever become aware of a significant data incident affecting our systems, we will take appropriate steps to respond and, where required, notify affected users.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our programs may serve young people in partnership with parents, guardians, schools, and community organizations. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without consent from a parent or guardian or an appropriate educational partner. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information without consent, please contact us so we can review and, if appropriate, delete that information.

8. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. In general, you can:

• Ask to update or correct the information we have about you.
• Request that we limit or stop certain types of communication (for example, email newsletters).
• Request that we delete information where it is no longer needed, subject to legal or record-keeping requirements.

To exercise these options, please contact us using the information at the bottom of this page.

9. Links to Other Websites

Our website may include links to other websites, apps, or resources that we do not control (for example, payment platforms, social media sites, or partner organizations). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any site you visit.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, programs, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of our website after an update means you accept the revised Policy.
