privacy policy
Effective Date: 05-06-2025
At People R Us, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose personal data from visitors to our website. By using our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide through forms on our website, such as when you send us a message through our contact page or make a donation. This may include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and any other information you choose to submit. If you make a donation, we may collect billing and payment details, though payment processing is handled by a secure third-party provider.
We may also collect non-personally identifiable information automatically through cookies and similar technologies, including your browser type, IP address, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This data helps us understand how our website is used and how we can improve it.
How We Use Your Information
The information you provide may be used to respond to inquiries, process donations, improve our website, communicate with you about our services or upcoming events, and fulfill legal or regulatory obligations. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
We may use anonymized or aggregated data for internal research, performance monitoring, or reporting purposes. These datasets do not contain any personal identifiers and cannot be used to trace back to individual users.
Data Storage and Security
We take the security of your personal data seriously. All information is stored securely and accessed only by authorized personnel. We use appropriate technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your information.
However, no system is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of any data transmitted to or from our website, and you do so at your own risk.
Third-Party Services
Our website may include links to third-party websites or services, such as donation platforms or social media pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access through our website.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and gather statistical data. You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, but doing so may affect certain functions of the website.
Children’s Privacy
Our services are directed toward adolescents aged 13 to 21, but our website is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 without parental consent. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.

You have the right to access, update, or request deletion of your personal information. To make such a request, please contact us using the information provided below. We will comply with applicable laws and respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with the effective date noted at the top. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
