Privacy Policy | The Blooming Path, Inc.

Effective date: October 5, 2026

The Blooming Path, Inc. ("The Blooming Path," "we," or "us") is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation organized under Louisiana law. This policy explains what information we collect through bloomingpath.org, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you use our Contact or River Promises forms, we collect your name, email address, message, and the interest you select, and, if you choose to provide it, your organization or school. When you donate, we receive your name, email address, gift amount, frequency, and any comment you add.

Payment information. Donations are handled by the payment processor connected to our website. We do not receive or store your full card number.

Automatic information. Like most websites, ours and our hosting provider may collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, device, pages viewed, and approximate location, using cookies and similar technologies.

How we use information

We use information to respond to your messages, process and acknowledge gifts, send tax receipts, follow up about volunteering, partnerships, and programs, operate and secure the website, and understand how it is used so we can improve it.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site and process gifts (such as our website host and payment processor), when required by law, or with your permission. Our website may display content from Instagram, which is governed by that platform's own privacy policy.

Our website uses cookies that are necessary for it to function and to measure basic site activity. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.

Retention and security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above and to meet legal and tax recordkeeping requirements. We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, but no online system is completely secure.

Children

Our website is intended for adults, including parents, guardians, mentors, donors, and partners. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Your choices

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you have given us, or to stop contacting you, by emailing info@bloomingpath.org.

Links to other sites

Our website may link to other sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above shows when it was last changed.
