Effective date: February 25, 2026

ENDPP.ORG (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information in ways that reflect our values of equity, dignity, and safety. We collect only what we need, we work to minimize risk to community members, and we do not use your information in ways that could cause harm.

What we collect

Depending on how you interact with our website, we may collect:

• Information you provide: name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any information you submit through forms (for example, event signups, advocacy actions, donations, volunteer interest, or requests for help).

• Text messaging information: your phone number, opt-in status, message history needed to provide the service, and related metadata.

• Automatic data: limited technical data such as IP address, device/browser type, and basic website analytics (to understand usage and improve the site).

How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Communicate with you about our work, events, and ways to take action

• Provide services or support you request

• Process donations and maintain required records

• Improve our website and communications

• Maintain security, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations

Our equity commitments

We recognize that data collection can carry higher risks for people who are directly impacted by the criminal legal system and other forms of surveillance and discrimination. To reduce harm, we aim to:

• Collect the minimum necessary information

• Limit internal access to need-to-know staff and trusted contractors

• Use protective security practices appropriate to the sensitivity of the information

• Avoid using personal information for profiling or targeted advertising

Text messaging and consent

If you opt in to receive SMS/text messages from us, you can opt out at any time by replying STOP.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share text messaging opt-in information (including consent) with other organizations or third parties.

We may share limited information only with our service providers who help us send and manage messages (for example, an SMS platform) and only as necessary to provide the messaging service.

Sharing your information

Outside of SMS opt-in data and consent (which we do not share as described above), we may share information only in these limited situations:

• With vendors/contractors who help operate our programs and website (under confidentiality and security expectations)

• With payment processors for donations or purchases

• If required by law, court order, or to protect rights and safety

We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies and analytics

We may use cookies or similar technologies for basic site functionality and to understand site traffic. You can adjust your browser settings to block cookies, though some site features may not work properly.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, unless a longer period is required by law (for example, financial recordkeeping).
