Last Updated: November 2025

The Westmorelite Foundation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Foundation”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy ( this “Policy”) explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information from visitors to our website, donors, volunteers, and other supporters.

By using or accessing our website or services, or by making a donation, you consent to the practices described in this Policy.

  • Payment information (donation), typically processed by a secure third-party payment processor or donation platform
  • Donation history and preferences (gift amounts, date, designations)

  • Other information you voluntarily provide (e.g. when you fill out contact, volunteer, partnership or application forms)
Information collected automatically when you visit our website
  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Device type
  • Pages visited on the website and duration of visit
  • Referring page / URL, click-through data, and navigation data
  • Cookies or similar tracking technologies (see relevant section herein)
Information from third-party sources or partners
  • If you use third-party donation platforms, payment gateways, or partners (in U.S., Jamaica, or elsewhere), we may receive from those partners data relevant to your donation, contact info, or donation history, consistent with those platform’s terms and your consent.
  • If you interact via social media or other external services and give permission,  as required by those services, we may obtain relevant identification or contact information.
How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for:

  • Processing donations and issuing tax receipts or donation acknowledgments.
  • Sending confirmations, thank-you messages, receipts, newsletters or updates about our programs and mission.
  • Communicating about events, volunteer opportunities, and ways to support our work.
  • Improving our website and operations, including assessing visitor behavior, usability, and site performance.
  • Preventing fraud, abuse, or other misuse of our website or donation platform.
  • Complying with legal or regulatory requirements (e.g. financial record-keeping, audits).

We will not rent, sell, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes unrelated to the Foundation’s mission.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We will only share your personal information as described below:

  • With trusted third-party service providers who help us with donation processing, payment processing, website hosting, data storage, email distribution, and analytics, and only under strict confidentiality agreements.
  • To comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, or governmental requests, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.
  • To respect your consent, where you have explicitly permitted sharing of information (for instance, to highlight major donors, if you request public acknowledgment).

We do not sell, rent, or trade your donor or visitor data to marketing firms or other external entities.

Data Retention and Security
  • We retain personal and donation data only as long as necessary for record-keeping, legal compliance, tax, audit, or internal needs.
  • Payment information (e.g. credit card or bank account details) is not stored on our servers;  such information is handled securely by third-party payment processors.
  • We implement appropriate administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
  • Access to personal data is limited to authorized personnel within the Foundation.
International Use and Cross-Border Donations

Because we are based in the United States but operate and accept donations virtually (including in Jamaica), please note:

  • Your personal data may be transferred to, and stored or processed in, countries outside your country of residence, including the U.S.
  • By donating or using our website, you consent to such international data transfers in accordance with this Policy.
  • If you are located in a jurisdiction with stricter privacy laws than those in the U.S., you acknowledge that the protections may differ.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
  • We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels (e.g. analytics tools) to enhance site functionality, understand usage, and improve user experience.
  • These technologies collect data such as browser type, device type, IP address (in anonymized or aggregated form), and browsing behavior across our site.
  • You may disable cookies in your browser settings; however, doing so might affect site performance or functionality.
  • If you prefer not to be tracked by third-party analytics, you can opt-out (e.g. via browser settings or cookies preferences).
Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. Globally, you may:

  • Request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction or updating of your personal data.
  • Request that we delete your personal data (where legally permissible) or suppress further contact.
  • Unsubscribe from newsletters or marketing communications at any time.
  • Withdraw consent for data collection or processing (e.g. by disabling cookies or choosing not to subscribe).

To make such a request, contact us using the information in the Contact Us section below. Please note: we may need to retain certain personal data to comply with legal or tax obligations even if other data is removed.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us, and we will delete it as soon as possible.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or technological systems. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top. Continued use of our website or services after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.

We encourage you to review this Policy regularly.
