Privacy Policy
Last updated April 2026
The El Dorado Fire and Rescue Association ("we," "us," or "the Association") is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit registered in the State of New Mexico. This Privacy Policy describes the limited information our website at eldoradofirerescueassociation.org collects and how we handle it.
What This Site Collects
This is a static website. We do not run forms, accounts, mailing-list signups, or analytics that identify you personally. Specifically:
- Anonymous traffic statistics. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and understand which pages visitors find useful. Cloudflare Web Analytics sets no cookies, does not identify individual visitors, and does not collect IP addresses or device fingerprints. We do not run Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or other tracking pixels.
- Email correspondence. If you email us at eldoradofirerescueassociation@gmail.com, we will see and retain your message in the normal way email is handled.
Donations
Online donations are processed by PayPal, not by this website. When you click "Donate" you leave our site and complete the transaction on PayPal's platform. PayPal collects and processes the personal and payment information you provide there, governed by PayPal's Privacy Statement. We receive only the information PayPal shares with us as the recipient nonprofit — typically donor name, donation amount, and (if you choose to share it) a message and contact email.
Donations sent by mail include whatever information you put on the check or accompanying note. We retain donation records as required for our 501(c)(3) compliance and to provide acknowledgement letters for tax purposes.
How We Use the Information
- To respond to questions or feedback you send us by email.
- To acknowledge donations and provide tax-receipt letters when requested.
- To maintain donation records as required by law and our 501(c)(3) status.
- To improve the website by understanding which pages visitors find useful (anonymously).
We do not sell, rent, or share donor or contact information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Cookies
This website does not set tracking cookies. PayPal and Google Fonts (loaded for typography) may set their own cookies on their own domains as part of their normal operation; those are governed by their respective privacy policies.
Your Rights
If you would like to know what donation records or correspondence we have related to you, request a correction, or ask us to delete information we hold (subject to our legal record-keeping obligations), email us at eldoradofirerescueassociation@gmail.com.
Children's Privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
