Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 1, 2026 · Last updated: April 1, 2026

NJS Works, Inc. (“NJS Works,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you visit njsworks.org (the “Site”) or otherwise interact with us (for example, by email or phone).

Who we are

NJS Works is a nonprofit organization based in Brunswick, Maine, organized under applicable state and federal law as a tax-exempt public charity described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Information we collect

Depending on how you engage with us, we may collect:

• Information you provide directly. For example, your name, email address, phone number, organization name, message content, and any other details you include when you email us, call us, or otherwise contact us (including sponsorship or donation inquiries).
• Donation or payment-related information. If you make a financial contribution through a third-party processor (for example, a payment or fundraising platform), that processor collects payment details on our behalf. We typically receive confirmation of the transaction amount and your contact information as needed for receipts and recordkeeping, not your full card number.
• Technical and usage information. When you visit the Site, our hosting provider and related services may automatically log information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, general geographic region derived from the IP address, referring URLs, and dates and times of access. We use this information to operate and secure the Site and to understand aggregate usage.

Cookies and similar technologies

The Site may use cookies or similar technologies that are strictly necessary for the Site to function, or that help us measure performance in the aggregate. If we use optional analytics or marketing tools in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, provide choices. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

How we use information

We use the information described above to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide information about our programs;
• Process and acknowledge donations and sponsorships, issue tax receipts where applicable, and maintain required nonprofit records;
• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our communications;
• Protect the security and integrity of our systems and the public; and
• Comply with law, enforce our terms, and protect rights and safety.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who assist us (for example, website hosting, email, or payment processing) subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect safety or enforce our agreements.

Retention

We retain information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations (including nonprofit recordkeeping), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Children’s privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding access, correction, deletion, or opt-out of certain processing of your personal information. If you wish to exercise these rights or have questions, contact us using the information below. We will respond consistent with applicable law.

Links to other sites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices; please review their policies before providing information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy, to the extent permitted by law.
