Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to Valor and Faith, the operating name of The Bezines Group, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 33-2823860). It describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit valorandfaith.org, request assistance through our programs, communicate with our team, or make a donation.

We take the privacy of those we serve and those who support us seriously. We collect only what we need, use it for the purposes described below, and safeguard it with reasonable measures.

Information We Collect

We collect limited information, including:

• Contact information you provide through our contact form, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.
• Donation information collected by our donation processor, Zeffy, when you give online. This may include your name, email address, billing address, and payment details. Payment information is processed by Zeffy and its payment partners — we do not store payment card numbers on our systems.
• Program inquiries submitted by those requesting assistance through our charitable programs, including information needed to assess eligibility.
• Aggregate website analytics collected through Google Analytics (tag G-5T2LX08R87), which helps us understand how the site is used in aggregate.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Respond to inquiries and provide program assistance;
• Process donations, issue tax receipts, and acknowledge gifts;
• Communicate with donors, volunteers, and program participants about our work;
• Understand how our website is used and improve the experience;
• Meet legal, regulatory, and reporting obligations as a 501(c)(3) organization.

How We Protect Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we hold. Online donations are processed by Zeffy, which uses industry-standard payment security. No method of transmission over the Internet is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to maintain practices appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.

How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your information. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• With service providers who help us operate — such as Zeffy (donation processing), our email provider, and hosting infrastructure — subject to confidentiality and data handling obligations;
• With program partners, such as the Archdiocese for the Military Services, only where necessary to deliver requested services and only with appropriate care;
• Where required by law, subpoena, or other legal process.

Cookies and Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics (tag G-5T2LX08R87) to collect aggregate, non-identifying information about site usage — such as which pages are visited and how long visitors stay. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies for this purpose. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Your Rights

You may:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you;
• Request correction of information that is inaccurate;
• Request deletion of your information, subject to our legal and reporting obligations;
• Opt out of non-essential communications by contacting us or using the unsubscribe link in any email.

Children's Privacy

Our website and programs are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review the policy periodically.
