Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Caminar Latino, Inc. (“Caminar Latino,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) values your privacy and recognizes that privacy and safety can be especially important for people affected by domestic violence.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect when you visit caminarlatino.org (the “Website”), communicate with us online, make a donation, register for an event or training, subscribe to our communications, or use other online services connected to the Website.

Please share only the information you are comfortable providing.

With Your Direction or Permission
We may share information when you ask us to do so or provide permission. When information relates to someone seeking domestic violence services or referrals, Caminar Latino will follow applicable confidentiality laws, funding requirements, and organizational policies regarding informed consent and releases of information.
Legal Requirements and Safety
We may disclose information when required by applicable law or a valid legal process, or when legally permitted and reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of Caminar Latino or another person.
Caminar Latino will seek to protect the confidentiality of information related to survivors and program participants in accordance with applicable federal and state confidentiality laws, funding conditions, professional obligations, and organizational policies.
Where legally permitted, we may take reasonable steps to notify the affected person before responding to a subpoena, court order, warrant, or government request.
Nothing in this section is intended to expand Caminar Latino’s authority to disclose confidential survivor or program information.
Mandatory Reporting
Caminar Latino may have mandatory-reporting obligations under applicable law. Those obligations may apply in situations involving suspected abuse, neglect, exploitation of a child or vulnerable adult, or other circumstances defined by law. The existence and scope of a reporting obligation can depend on the person’s role, the service being provided, the information received, and the law that applies.
Caminar Latino will respond to situations that may involve child abuse or neglect in a way that is survivor-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in care. Our goal is to support safety for children without causing unnecessary harm to survivors or families including the unnecessary removal of children.
Organizational Changes
If Caminar Latino undergoes a merger, restructuring, transfer of programs, or similar organizational change, information may be transferred as part of that process, subject to applicable confidentiality requirements and appropriate safeguards.
Donor Privacy
Caminar Latino values the privacy of its donors.
We do not sell or rent donor names, contact information, or donation history. We may share limited donor information with payment processors, financial institutions, database providers, mailing services, auditors, accountants, and other vendors that help us process gifts, maintain required records, send acknowledgments, and carry out fundraising activities.
We may disclose donor information when required by law. Donors may contact us to request anonymous public recognition or to update their communication preferences.
Please note that an anonymous donation may still require the payment processor and Caminar Latino to maintain information needed to complete the transaction, prevent fraud, issue a receipt, and comply with financial or legal requirement
Donation Refunds
Donations are generally considered final and nonrefundable.
Caminar Latino may review requests involving an apparent error, duplicate transaction, unauthorized transaction, or other exceptional circumstance on a case-by-case basis. Submitting a request does not guarantee that a refund will be issued.

Information About People Seeking Support
Information identifying a person who seeks domestic violence support, advocacy, or referrals receives special consideration.
Caminar Latino will handle this information according to applicable confidentiality laws, grant and funding conditions, program policies, and any consent or release requirements that apply.
Submitting a general website form does not necessarily create a formal advocate-participant relationship or enroll someone in a Caminar Latino program. When additional information or consent is needed, a staff member may explain the applicable program process and confidentiality protections.
Caminar Latino does not knowingly use information identifying a person seeking support for advertising or general fundraising communications without an appropriate basis and any consent required by law or polic
Children's Policy
The general Website is intended for a broad audience and is not designed to collect personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate involvement from a parent, guardian, or authorized adult.
We do not knowingly use the public Website to solicit personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 submitted personal information through the general Website without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to review and delete it, subject to applicable legal and safety obligations.
Caminar Latino provides programs involving children and youth. Information collected through formal youth-program enrollment or participation is governed by applicable consent documents, confidentiality practices, program requirements, and law.
Parents, guardians, and authorized representatives may contact us with questions about information submitted by a child.
Data RetentionWe retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, carry out our work, maintain appropriate records, protect safety and security, and meet legal, contractual, accounting, tax, insurance, grant, and audit obligations.

- Donation and financial records may be retained to satisfy tax, accounting, and audit requirements.
- Event, training, consulting, and volunteer records may be retained for administrative, reporting, and relationship-management purposes.

- Program and support-related information may be governed by separate confidentiality and record-retention policies.
- Technical logs may be retained for security, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
We may retain information longer when required by law, subject to a legal hold, or reasonably necessary to address fraud, security incidents, disputes, or legal claims.
Data Security
Caminar Latino uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
Access to personal information is limited to personnel and authorized providers who reasonably need it for their work.
No website, email system, online form, or storage platform can guarantee complete security. You should consider the privacy and safety risks of electronic communication before providing sensitive information online.
Data Breaches and Security Incidents
If Caminar Latino becomes aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will investigate and respond in accordance with applicable law, contractual obligations, organizational policies, and the nature of the incident.
