Privacy Policy

Bridge to Community Liberty and Development (BCLD) respects the privacy of people who visit our website, contact our team, or engage with our public information. We collect only the information needed to respond to enquiries, protect the website, and communicate about BCLD's work.

Information We Collect

When you use the contact form, we collect the name, email address, subject, and message you choose to submit. The form also stores limited technical information, such as hashed IP address and hashed browser user-agent data, to help us protect the site from abuse.

If you email or call BCLD directly, we may receive the contact details and message content you provide through those channels.

How We Use Information

We use information submitted through this website to:

• respond to partnership, volunteering, funding, media, and community enquiries;
• save contact form messages so the BCLD team can follow up responsibly;
• send an email notification to the configured BCLD contact recipient;
• protect the form through validation, honeypot checks, timing checks, rate limiting, and reCAPTCHA when enabled;
• maintain basic records of communication with people who contact us.

Cookies And Security

This website may use Laravel session cookies and CSRF protection cookies to keep forms secure and make normal website features work. If analytics or third-party protections are enabled in the future, BCLD will use them only to understand website performance, improve public communication, and protect the site.

Sharing And Selling Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share a submitted message internally with BCLD team members who need it to respond. We may also use trusted technical service providers, such as hosting, email, or reCAPTCHA providers, where needed to operate and protect the website.

Data Retention

Contact messages are kept for as long as they are useful for follow-up, accountability, learning, or organizational record keeping. BCLD may remove messages that are no longer needed or that are submitted as spam.

Your Choices

You may contact BCLD to ask about information you submitted through this website, request a correction, or ask that a contact message be removed where appropriate.
