    DRIVEN Neuro does not engage in the sale of personal information. We do not sell your personal information. We also do not rent personal information, and we do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without providing notice and, where required, choice.

    We may, however, disclose or share information in the following circumstances:

    1. Service Providers

      We may share information with trusted third-party vendors and service providers who perform functions on our behalf—such as website hosting (Bluehost), email distribution (Bloomerang CRM and WellnessLiving), analytics (Google Analytics), payment processing, and information technology support. These service providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us and are contractually obligated to protect your information.

    2. Philanthropic, Research, and Grant-Related Disclosures

      In furtherance of our non-profit mission, we may share limited information with foundations, funders, philanthropic partners, research collaborators, contractors, consultants, and similar parties for purposes including, but not limited to:

      • Philanthropic activities and stewardship;
      • Research and program evaluation;
      • Fundraising and donor engagement;
      • Grant administration, compliance, and reporting; and
      • Collaborative initiatives aligned with our organizational mission.

      Where feasible and appropriate, we prefer to share information in aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified form so that individuals are not reasonably identifiable. When sharing identifiable information for these purposes, we take reasonable steps to limit the scope of the disclosure to what is necessary and to ensure that recipients are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.

    3. Legal and Compliance Purposes

      We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to:

      3. detect, prevent, or address fraud, security incidents, or technical issues; or
      4. protect the rights, property, or safety of DRIVEN Neuro, our users, or the public.

    4. Organizational Transactions

      In the event that DRIVEN Neuro undergoes a merger, reorganization, dissolution, or transfer of assets to another non-profit entity, information we hold may be among the assets reviewed or transferred as part of that process. We will endeavor to provide notice before any such transfer occurs.

    5. With Your Consent

      We may share your information for purposes not described in these Terms if we have obtained your prior consent.

    The Site may use cookies (small text files stored on your device), web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to facilitate Site functionality, remember your preferences, and gather usage data. You may manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. For more information about the specific cookies we use, please contact us at info@conquerparalysisnow.org.

  10. U.S. State Privacy Rights (Non-Profit Notice)

    1. General Non-Profit Status

      DRIVEN Neuro is organized and operates as a non-profit organization. It is important for visitors to understand that most comprehensive state consumer privacy laws enacted in the United States—including, by way of example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, the Colorado Privacy Act, the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, the Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act, and similar legislation in other states—generally do not apply to non-profit organizations within their respective scopes.

    2. Applicability Proviso

      However, privacy laws and their interpretations evolve over time. If and to the extent that any federal, state, or local privacy law is determined to apply to DRIVEN Neuro—whether by legislative amendment, regulatory guidance, judicial interpretation, or otherwise—then the following rights and disclosures shall apply to individuals covered under such law:

      1. Right to Know / Access. You may have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources of that information, the purposes for which it was collected, and the categories of third parties with whom it has been shared.
      2. Right to Correction. You may have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
      3. Right to Deletion. You may have the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected from or about you, subject to certain exceptions permitted by law.
      4. Right to Opt Out. To the extent applicable, you may have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, or the processing of your personal information for targeted advertising. As stated above, we do not sell your personal information.
      5. Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy rights available to you under applicable law.
      6. Categories of Information. To the extent required, the categories of personal information we may collect are described in Section 6 above. The business and operational purposes for which we use this information are described in Section 7. The categories of third parties with whom we may share information are described in Section 8.

    3. How to Exercise Your Rights

      If any state privacy law is determined to apply to DRIVEN Neuro and you wish to exercise any right described above, please submit your request by contacting us at info@conquerparalysisnow.org. We will review your request and respond in accordance with applicable legal requirements. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

  11. Your Privacy Choices and Contact for Requests

    Regardless of the applicability of specific state privacy laws, we are committed to transparency and to treating your information with respect. If you would like to:

    1. Access the personal information we hold about you;
    2. Correct any inaccurate information; or
    3. Request deletion of your personal information from our records;

    You may contact us at info@conquerparalysisnow.org and we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request, taking into account our legal obligations, operational needs, and the nature of the information involved.

    You may also exercise the following choices at any time:

    1. Email Communications. You may opt out of receiving promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in each message.
    2. Cookies. You may adjust your browser settings to refuse or delete cookies. Please be aware that some Site features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
    3. Do Not Track. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no uniform standard for how to respond to such signals, the Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. We will update this practice if a recognized standard is established.

  12. Children’s Privacy

    The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of thirteen (13). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will take prompt steps to delete such information. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at info@conquerparalysisnow.org.

  13. Data Security

    We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You use the Site and provide information to us at your own risk.

  14. Third-Party Links and Services

    The Site may contain hyperlinks to websites, platforms, or resources operated by third parties that are not under the control of DRIVEN Neuro. These links are provided solely for your convenience and reference.

Your interaction with any third-party website is governed by that site’s own terms and policies, and we encourage you to review them before providing any personal information.
