1. What Information We Collect

We collect both personal and non-personal information to better serve our visitors, improve our content and services, and fulfill our organizational mission. Personal information may be provided voluntarily through newsletter sign-ups, event registration, form submissions, or direct communication with us. This information can include your name, contact details, job title, organization, location, or other data you choose to share. Non-personal information is automatically collected through cookies and tracking technologies and may include your IP address, browser type, pages visited, referral URLs, and device information. These insights help us understand user behavior, measure campaign performance, and improve website functionality.

2. Use of Cookies and Analytics

Our websites use cookies and analytics tools like Google Analytics and Meta Pixel to track visitor engagement and enhance your experience. Cookies help us remember your preferences, improve functionality, understand navigation patterns, and assess the impact of our outreach. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that some site features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to respond to inquiries, deliver newsletters, manage event registrations, conduct surveys and research, analyze web traffic, and improve our services. Your data helps us fulfill our mission and enhance user engagement. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

4. Sharing and Disclosure

Your information may be shared with trusted third parties, such as email service providers, CRM tools, or project partners, who support our operations and are contractually obligated to safeguard your data. We may also disclose information to legal or regulatory authorities when required by law.

5. Third-Party Links

Our websites may include links to third-party websites, which operate independently of NMQF. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those external websites. While we provide links for convenience or reference, we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. Additionally, this policy only governs the privacy practices on NMQF-owned domains, including nmqf.org, its subdomains, fyh.news, and rsvequityaction.org.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our websites are not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that a child has submitted personal information without parental consent, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, where permitted by law. You may also opt out of receiving emails and newsletters at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our communications or by contacting us directly. If you receive SMS messages from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by replying with the word “STOP.” To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@nmqf.org.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. While we strive to protect your information, no system can be completely secure, so we encourage caution when sharing data online.

9. Updates to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. If significant changes are made, we will notify users through our websites or by email where appropriate. We recommend reviewing this policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information.
