Privacy Policy
Overview
This privacy policy explains how the Lotus Health Foundation collects, uses, and protects information when you visit lotushealthfoundation.org. It applies to this website only and was last updated in October 2026.
Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways. Information you give us: when you contact us, sign up for the newsletter, register for an event, or apply to volunteer or sponsor, we collect details such as your name, email address, phone number, and any message you send. Information collected automatically: with your consent, we use cookies and similar technologies to collect usage data such as pages viewed, device and browser type, approximate location, and how you reached the site.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiries, send the newsletter you requested, manage event registrations and volunteer or sponsor requests, improve our programs and website, and, with your consent, measure site usage and the performance of our advertising. We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies, Analytics & Advertising
Strictly necessary technologies keep the site working and remember your privacy choice. Non-essential tracking runs only after you accept it in our cookie banner. With your consent we use Vercel Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookie-free service that measures aggregate site usage; Google Analytics, which uses cookies to understand how visitors use the site, with Google's practices described at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partners; and the Meta pixel, which may set a small advertising cookie and share information about your visit with Meta (Facebook) to measure visits driven by Meta ads, with Meta's practices described at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie preferences link in the footer, which reopens the banner, or by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.
Your Choices
You can control cookies through your browser settings and change your consent using the Cookie preferences link in the footer. You can opt out of personalized advertising in your Facebook ad preferences at https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences and Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com. We do not sell your personal information.
Medical Information
The Lotus Health Foundation is an educational nonprofit, not a healthcare provider, and this website is not a secure channel for medical or health information. Please do not include medical or health details in our forms or messages. If you have a health concern, please contact your healthcare provider directly.
Information Sharing
We only share information with service providers who help us operate this website and our communications (such as our form, hosting, email, and analytics providers) under confidentiality obligations, and with advertising partners such as Google and Meta as described above. We may also disclose information when required by law. We do not sell your personal information.
Data Retention
We keep the information you submit for as long as needed to respond to you, run our programs, and meet our legal and operational obligations, after which we delete or de-identify it.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
This website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date above. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
