Privacy Policy

Arlington CERT Foundation Incorporated ("ACFI," "we," "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through this website, why we collect it, and how we protect it.

Information we collect

When you become a member, we collect only what we need: your full name and email address (required), and your phone number and mailing address (optional). We also record your registration date and membership status.

Payment information

We do not collect or store any card or payment details. All payments are processed by Stripe on its own secure systems. Your card number, security code, and expiry never touch ACFI's website.

How we use your information

We use your information to manage your membership, send confirmations and renewal reminders, deliver our newsletter if you opt in, respond to inquiries, and share occasional Foundation updates. We do not sell your personal information.

How we share information

We share information only with the service providers that operate our website and communications (for example, our payment processor and email provider), and only as needed to run the membership program. We may disclose information if required by law.

How we protect your information

We store only minimal information in an access-controlled system, limit who can view it, and secure the website with encryption (HTTPS). No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your data safe.

Your choices

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and you may opt out of non-essential emails at any time. Contact us at cert@arlingtonva.us.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the current version.
