Privacy Policy

A Connected Planet Foundation ("ACP") collects only the information necessary to fulfill our mission and operate our programs. This may include:

• Contact information (name, email address, mailing address) when you reach out to us, apply for a grant, or sign up for updates.

• Donation information processed through our third-party payment partners. ACP does not store payment card details.

• General usage data (pages visited, time on site) collected through standard web analytics tools to help us improve our website.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries and communicate about our programs.

• Process grant applications and coordinate with schools and teachers.

• Send program updates, newsletters, or impact reports — only if you have opted in.

• Improve our website and understand how visitors engage with our content.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

Donations made through our website are processed by secure third-party payment platforms. ACP receives confirmation of your donation but does not have access to your full payment card details.

Donor information is kept confidential and is not shared with outside organizations except as required by law or as necessary to process your gift.

Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to understand how visitors use our site. This data is aggregated and anonymous — it is not linked to any individual.

You may disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Doing so will not affect your ability to use our website.

Our website may contain links to external sites, including partner organizations, government resources, and educational platforms. ACP is not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourages you to review their policies independently.

We take reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use caution when sharing personal information online.

ACP's website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Our grant programs work through schools and teachers — not directly with students.

You may opt out of email communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any message we send, or by contacting us directly.

To request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information we hold about you, please contact us at the address below.

ACP may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, please contact us:
