Privacy Policy

Lumoset Foundation Inc. (“Lumoset,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect when you use lumoset.org (the “Service”), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Service, you agree to this policy.

Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to run our programs and improve the Service:

• Information you give us — such as your name, email address, and any message you send, for example when you subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, register for a course, or make a donation.
• Usage information — such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and the date and time of your visit, collected automatically to help us keep the site secure and improve it.
• Cookies — small files stored on your device that help the site work and help us understand how it is used (see “Cookies,” below).

How We Use Your Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the Service and our free educational programs
• To respond to your messages and provide support
• To send the newsletter and updates you have asked for (you can unsubscribe any time)
• To process donations
• To keep the Service secure and to detect or prevent problems and misuse
• To comply with our legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information.

Service Providers We Use

We share limited information with trusted providers only so they can perform services for us. These include:

• Mailchimp — manages our email newsletter (receives your email address and name).
• Stripe — processes donations securely. Payment-card details are handled by Stripe; we do not store your full card number.
• Analytics and hosting providers — operate the site and help us understand general usage (for example, we may use Google Analytics).

These providers may use your information only to perform their work for us, and are expected to protect it.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, keep it secure, and measure how it is used. You can set your browser to refuse some or all cookies; if you do, parts of the site may not work as well. We currently do not respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.

How Long We Keep It

We keep your personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, or as required to meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Usage data is generally kept for a shorter period.

Your Choices & Rights

You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any message, or contact us to ask what information we hold about you, to correct it, or to ask us to delete it. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or U.S. state privacy laws — including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your information, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these, just contact us; we may need to verify your identity first.

Where Your Information Is Processed

We are based in the United States, and your information is processed here. If you access the Service from outside the U.S., you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your country.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

The Service is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Links to Other Sites

Our Service may link to sites we do not operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date on this page. Please review it periodically. For our full terms of use, see our Terms of Service.
