This policy does not apply to third-party services not owned or controlled by the Alliance, including any services you may access via our website.

Information We Collect and Use

Personal information you provide—such as your name, address, telephone number, and email address—is used solely to fulfill our educational and charitable purposes. This includes providing programming, facilitating donations and memberships, processing purchases, and communicating about events and updates.

We collect, use, and share your information based on the following legal grounds:

• As necessary to provide our services, including processing memberships, donations, purchases, and resolving disputes;
• When you give affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time;
• To comply with legal obligations, such as tax law or court orders;
• When it is in our legitimate interest to improve our services, provided it does not override your rights.

• Legal Compliance: We may disclose information when required by law or to enforce agreements, address fraud, or protect individuals' safety.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, or to comply with legal obligations. Generally, data is retained for five years. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
