Effective Date: September 7, 2026
A Better Life Guatemala (“ABLG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share information when you visit our website, make a donation, contact us, or interact with our programs and services.
Information We Collect
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, email address, telephone number, mailing or billing address, donation information, and information submitted through our contact, volunteer, or other website forms.
We may also automatically collect limited technical information when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and general website usage information through cookies and analytics technologies.
Donations and Payment Processing
When you make an online donation, information necessary to process your contribution may be collected through our donation platform and payment processor.
A Better Life Guatemala currently uses GiveWP to facilitate online donations and Stripe to securely process electronic payments.
Payment card information is processed by our payment processor and is not intended to be stored directly on A Better Life Guatemala's website. These third-party providers process information according to their own privacy policies and security practices.
We may retain donor information such as your name, contact information, donation amount, transaction date, and donation history for administrative, accounting, donor communication, and legal compliance purposes.
How We Use Your Information
We may use the information we collect to process and acknowledge donations; provide donation receipts; respond to questions and requests; communicate with donors, volunteers, and supporters; coordinate programs and volunteer opportunities; improve our website and services; maintain financial and organizational records; prevent fraud or misuse; and comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies that help the website function properly, understand how visitors use the site, improve performance, and measure website traffic.
Some third-party services integrated into our website may also place cookies or collect technical information according to their own privacy policies.
You may control or disable certain cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.
How We Share Information
A Better Life Guatemala does not sell or rent your personal information.
We may share limited information with trusted service providers when necessary to operate our website, process donations, provide technical services, communicate with supporters, or comply with legal obligations. These may include payment processors, donation management platforms, website hosting providers, email services, analytics providers, and other technology providers.
We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of A Better Life Guatemala, our supporters, or others.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information under our control. However, no website, electronic transmission, or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including donor administration, accounting, tax, legal, security, and organizational recordkeeping requirements.
Your Choices and Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we maintain about you, subject to applicable legal and recordkeeping requirements.
You may also ask us to stop sending non-essential communications at any time.
Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or use services operated by other organizations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Children's Privacy
Our website and online donation services are not directed toward collecting personal information from children. Our charitable programs may serve children and families in Guatemala, but information collected through those programs is handled separately from general website visitor and donor information and with appropriate care.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, services, technology, or legal requirements. When appropriate, the updated effective date will be displayed at the top of this page.
