Privacy Policy
What we do and do not collect
We collect only what we need to operate the site, respond to messages, and process donations.
Information you provide
Contact forms: When you send a message, we receive the information you submit (such as name, email address, and message content).
Donations: If you donate through our donation forms (GiveWP/Stripe), you may provide information such as your name, email address, billing details, and donation amount.
Information collected automatically
We use Matomo analytics to understand how visitors use the site (for example: pages viewed, approximate location, device/browser information, and general usage patterns). This helps us improve the website. We aim to use privacy-respecting settings (for example, minimizing data collection where possible).
Payment processing (GiveWP + Stripe)
Donations are processed through Stripe and our donation platform (GiveWP). Payment card details are handled by Stripe and are not stored on our website servers. Donation records may include the information you provide (such as name, email, donation amount, and transaction details) so we can maintain basic accounting and donor support.
Cookies and similar technologies
We may use cookies or similar technologies for core site functionality and analytics. We do not use this site to serve third-party advertising.
You can control cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain site features.
How we use your information
We use information to:
- Respond to messages you send us
- Process donations and provide donation support
- Maintain site security and prevent fraud/abuse
- Understand site usage and improve the site (analytics)
- Comply with legal obligations (such as basic financial recordkeeping for donations)
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information with trusted service providers only as needed to run the site (for example: website hosting, forms, analytics, donation processing, and email). These providers process data on our behalf and are expected to protect it.
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of the site and its users.
Data retention
We keep information only as long as necessary:
- Contact form messages: retained long enough to respond and for reasonable recordkeeping
- Donation records: retained as needed for accounting, compliance, and donor support
Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. You can contact us at goodwayproject@protonmail.com or goodwaylibrary.com/contact/ to make a request. We may need to retain certain records to comply with legal obligations.
You can also opt out of analytics tracking using browser settings and privacy tools (and, where available, any on-site opt-out options we provide).
