We may also automatically collect limited technical information when you visit our website, such as your browser type, device type, IP address, pages visited, referring website, and general website usage information.

- Sensitive Information and Confidentiality
Because HRA serves LGBTQ+ individuals, youth, families, and other community members, we recognize that information shared with us may be particularly sensitive.
HRA does not sell or rent personal information.
We seek to limit the collection and disclosure of sensitive information and take reasonable measures to protect information entrusted to us. Information concerning an individual’s participation in HRA programs or requests for services will not be publicly disclosed by HRA without authorization except when disclosure is required by law or necessary to address an immediate safety concern.
We encourage website visitors not to submit highly sensitive medical, financial, or other confidential information through general website contact forms or email unless specifically instructed to do so through a secure process.
- Donations and Payment Processing
When you make a donation or payment through our website, a third-party payment processor may process your payment information. HRA may receive information necessary to record and acknowledge your contribution, but payment card information may be collected and processed directly by the payment provider.
Third-party payment processors maintain their own privacy and security practices. We encourage users to review those providers’ privacy policies.
- Email Communications
If you subscribe to an HRA mailing list, register for an event, make a donation, or otherwise request communications from us, we may use your contact information to communicate with you.
You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link contained in the email or by contacting HRA.
We may retain information necessary to honor an unsubscribe request.
- Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to help the website function properly, understand how visitors use the site, and improve the user experience.
HRA may also use third-party website analytics or service providers. These services may collect technical information about website visits in accordance with their own privacy policies.
You can generally control or disable cookies through your web browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.
- Information About Minors
Some HRA programs serve youth. We are committed to protecting the privacy and safety of young people who participate in our programs.
Our general website is intended to provide information about HRA and its programs and is not designed to solicit unnecessary personal information from children.
When information about minors is required for program participation, HRA may establish additional registration, consent, permission, confidentiality, and safety procedures appropriate to the program and the participant’s age.
Parents, guardians, or young people with questions about information collected in connection with an HRA youth program may contact us using the information below.
- Sharing Information
HRA may share information with service providers that assist us with functions such as website hosting, email communications, event registration, donation processing, data management, and other organizational operations.
We may also disclose information when:
- Required by law, court order, or other lawful process;
- Necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of HRA, our participants, or others;
- Necessary to investigate suspected fraud, misuse, or security threats; or
- The individual has authorized the disclosure.
HRA does not sell personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
- Third-Party Websites
The HRA website may contain links to websites operated by other organizations, businesses, government agencies, community partners, or service providers.
HRA is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites. Visitors should review the privacy policies of those websites before providing personal information.
- Data Security
HRA uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.
However, no website, email system, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should use appropriate caution when transmitting sensitive information electronically.
