Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 10, 2026
Information we collect
We may collect information you voluntarily provide when browsing or registering for an adventure, including your name, email address, phone number, household or participant counts, payment status, acknowledgements, accessibility or participation notes, emergency contact information when requested, and other registration details.
How information is used
Information is used to manage event registrations, capacity and waitlists, communicate event updates and reminders, coordinate payments, support participant safety, provide organizer tools, and improve Community Connections activities.
Google account information and permissions
Organizer accounts may use Google authentication. The application may request permission to identify the signed-in organizer, manage event data stored in Google Sheets, store event images in Google Drive, send event-related email, and run scheduled reminder or thank-you processes. These permissions are used only to operate the Community Connections platform.
Information sharing
We do not sell personal information. Registration information may be shared with authorized IWP organizers and trusted individuals who need it to coordinate a specific activity, support participants, process event logistics, or comply with legal obligations.
Payments
The platform may record payment status or payment method selections. Unless explicitly stated during registration, the platform does not directly collect or store complete credit card or bank account information.
Data storage and retention
Information may be stored using Google Workspace services, including Google Sheets and Google Drive. Records may be retained for event administration, reporting, safety, accounting, and organizational purposes, then deleted or anonymized when no longer reasonably needed.
Security
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No online system can guarantee absolute security, and users should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information.
Your choices
You may request correction or deletion of your registration information, subject to legal, accounting, safety, or operational retention requirements. You may also ask to stop receiving nonessential event communications.
Children's information
A parent or legal guardian should submit information for participating minors. The platform is not intended for children to create independent accounts or submit information without appropriate adult involvement.
Third-party links
The platform may link to Facebook, the Invisible Wounds Project website, maps, payment services, or other third-party resources. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as the platform changes. The effective date shown above will be revised when material updates are made.
