Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7/3/2026

FARM127 respects your privacy. We want to be clear about what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.

FARM127 is a faith-rooted nonprofit serving young adults aging out of foster care through housing support, mentorship, life skills, practical help, community, and Christ-centered care. When you share information with us, we use it carefully and only for purposes connected to our mission. This reflects FARM127’s broader commitment to communicate with warmth, clarity, dignity, and practical care.

Information we collect

We may collect personal information when you:

  • Fill out a form on our website

  • Complete a FARM127 form through Google Forms

  • Make a donation

  • Sign up to receive updates

  • Express interest in volunteering, mentoring, partnering, or supporting FARM127

  • Communicate with us by email, phone, mail, form, or in person

This information may include:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Mailing address

  • Donation information

  • Volunteer, mentor, church, or partner interest

  • Information shared through applications, interest forms, surveys, or check-ins

  • Notes related to communication, support, referrals, donations, or follow-up

We may also collect basic website information, such as pages visited, general location, browser type, device information, and how visitors use our website.

Tools we use

FARM127 currently uses several trusted third-party tools to help us operate:

  • Squarespace for our website and some website forms, including partnership forms

  • Bloomerang for donor records, fundraising, CRM, email communication, and possible future text communication

  • Google Forms for the young adult application and some program-related forms

  • Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website and improve our content

These platforms may process information according to their own privacy policies and security practices.

How we use information

We use personal information to:

  • Respond to questions, forms, or requests

  • Process donations and send receipts

  • Communicate with donors, volunteers, mentors, churches, and partners

  • Review young adult applications or interest forms

  • Coordinate support, mentorship, housing help, referrals, or practical needs

  • Share FARM127 updates, opportunities, stories, and prayer needs

  • Improve our website, communications, programs, and donor stewardship

  • Maintain basic records for nonprofit, financial, tax, legal, safety, and operational purposes

We do not sell personal information.

Young adult applications

FARM127 does not currently collect young adult applications directly through Squarespace. Our website may link to a Google Form where young adults can apply or share information.

Information shared through a young adult application may be personal and sensitive. We use that information to understand the applicant’s situation, evaluate whether FARM127 may be able to help, communicate with the applicant, coordinate support, and connect the applicant with appropriate resources when needed.

FARM127’s support may include mentorship, life-skills support, housing-related help, prayer, work-readiness support, financial education, gardening, community meals, and relational check-ins. These supports are intended to be voluntary and non-clinical.

Donations and payment information

Donations may be processed through Bloomerang or connected payment-processing tools. FARM127 may receive donor contact information, donation amounts, donation dates, designations, notes, and related donor history.

We use donation information to process gifts, send receipts, thank donors, maintain financial records, report as required, and communicate about FARM127’s work.

FARM127 does not store full payment card information.

Emails and possible texts

When you share your contact information with FARM127, we may contact you by email, phone, mail, or, in the future, text message.

We currently use Bloomerang for email communication and may use Bloomerang for text communication in the future.

You can unsubscribe from general email updates at any time using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us directly. If we use text messaging in the future, we will provide a way to opt out.

Some messages, such as donation receipts, application follow-up, or important communication related to your involvement with FARM127, may still be sent when necessary.

Cookies and analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies through Squarespace and Google Analytics.

These tools help us understand website activity, improve page content, measure communication effectiveness, and make the website easier to use.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the website may not work as intended if cookies are disabled.

How we share information

We only share personal information when needed and appropriate. This may include sharing information with:

  • FARM127 staff, board members, volunteers, or mentors who need it to serve the mission

  • Squarespace, Bloomerang, Google Forms, Google Analytics, and other service providers that help us operate

  • Partner organizations or outside providers when a referral or support connection is requested or appropriate

  • Legal, accounting, tax, payment-processing, or compliance professionals

  • Authorities, emergency contacts, or appropriate parties when required by law or when necessary to protect someone’s safety

We expect those who help FARM127 handle personal information to treat it with care.

Referrals and partner support

FARM127 may help young adults connect with outside providers or partner organizations for counseling, healthcare, substance-use recovery, education, employment, transportation, benefits, legal needs, or other support.

When we make a referral, we may share relevant information with the young adult’s permission or when otherwise appropriate to coordinate support or protect safety.

Children’s privacy

FARM127’s website is not intended to collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

How we protect information

We use reasonable safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

No website, form, database, email system, CRM, or online platform is completely secure. Still, we seek to handle information carefully and limit access to people and systems that need it.

How long we keep information

We keep personal information as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including program support, donor stewardship, financial records, legal requirements, safety, reporting, and nonprofit operations.

When information is no longer needed, we may delete, archive, or securely store it according to our internal practices and legal obligations.

Your choices

You may contact FARM127 to:

  • Update your contact information

  • Ask what information we have about you

  • Request that we stop sending non-essential communications

  • Ask us to delete certain information, when we are legally and practically able to do so

Some information may need to be kept for donation records, legal compliance, accounting, safety, or program integrity.

Links to other websites

Our website may link to donation platforms, Google Forms, partner organizations, social media pages, or other third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites.
