Human Welfare Community (“HWC,” “we,” “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through humanwelfarecommunity.org, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information you give us
When you send a message through our contact form, we collect the information you enter: your name, email address, phone number (if you choose to provide it), the program you are interested in, your preferred class format and time, and your message. If you call or email us directly, we receive the information you choose to share.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you view. This is used to keep the website secure and working properly.
We use an analytics service to understand how visitors use this website, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive at the site, and general location at the city or country level. This service uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this information. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not send your name, email address, phone number, or message to our analytics service.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, or use browser tools that opt out of website analytics.
How we use your information
We use the information you send us only to:
- respond to your questions and class inquiries,
- share information about the classes you asked about, including by phone if you gave us your number,
- keep our website and communications secure, and
- understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
Third-party services
We rely on third-party service providers to operate this website and to communicate with you. These include providers that:
- host and maintain this website,
- deliver messages sent through our contact form,
- supply the fonts and other resources the website loads,
- measure website traffic and usage, and
- process donations.
These third parties may collect information such as your IP address, device and browser details, and how you interact with their services, and they may use cookies or similar tracking technologies. Their handling of your information is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, not this policy.
When you make a donation, you are taken to a third-party payment processor’s website. We do not receive or store your card or bank details.
By using this website, you acknowledge and agree that information handled by these third parties is subject to their terms and privacy policies.
How long we keep information
We keep messages for as long as needed to respond and to follow up about classes, and then delete them when they are no longer needed.
Your choices
You can ask us to see, correct, or delete the information you have sent us, or ask us to stop contacting you, by emailing peoplematter@humanwelfarecommunity.org.
Children’s privacy
This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website. If you believe a child has sent us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
