Updated: January 2026
Your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy describes how Maryvale collects personal information from you or about you through our website at www.Maryvale.org, why we collect this information, how we may use or disclose this information, and the choices you have about the information we maintain. This policy also describes the terms and conditions you must abide by when you use this Website. By visiting this website, you are accepting the policies and practices described in this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
Use of Your Personal Information
When we ask for personal information, it is done with the goal of responding to the needs that you directly communicate to us. When you register, make a donation, volunteer, sign up for our email communications, or take any other action on our website, we may ask you for personal information (such as name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address). We use this information to [operate this website, send you news and information about Maryvale, provide your requested services, and/or to solicit your participation in Maryvale programs, events and activities]. We use your e-mail address to send such information by email and may use your telephone number to call or text you for these purposes.
In addition, we may engage vendors to provide certain features on the website. Your use of these features is voluntary, and we may retain the information that you submit through these features. By using these features, you understand that our vendors may process the information obtained through the feature to provide the service on our behalf.
We do not sell personal information and do not share personal information with third parties for their independent marketing purposes. We may share personal information with service providers who assist us in operating the website or providing services on our behalf, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations. If you decide to purchase tickets to an event or to make a contribution online, we may ask for your credit card number and its expiration date. This information is used solely to process your contribution, is not maintained by our organization, and is not disclosed for any other purpose.
How We Protect Information You Provide
Maryvale uses industry-standard security protocols to protect your data. Additionally, Maryvale’s internal policies and procedures help protect your privacy by limiting staff access to your personal information. Permission to access your information is granted only to you and Maryvale employees or contractors who need to know that information to provide services to you. Although we make good faith efforts to store information collected by this website in a secure operating environment, we cannot guarantee complete security.

This privacy policy covers this website and its subdomains. We may provide links from our website to third-party websites as a convenience to our visitors. We are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of these third-party sites. This means that this Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected through those websites.

Cookies, Tracking Pixels, and Analytics Tools
Maryvale uses cookies, tracking pixels, and similar technologies to operate and maintain our website, understand how visitors interact with our content, improve site performance, support our communications and outreach efforts, and personalize user experience where appropriate.
These technologies may automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring URLs, and interactions with the site (such as clicks, scrolling, or time spent on pages). Some of this information may be collected by third‑party service providers that assist us with website analytics, communications, or outreach activities.
Managing Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Certain cookies and tracking technologies are considered “essential” and are necessary for the website to function properly. Others are “non‑essential” and are used for analytics, performance insights, or outreach and engagement purposes.
Where required by law, we provide users with the opportunity to review and manage preferences related to non‑essential cookies and tracking technologies, including the ability to consent to or opt out of certain data collection, through our cookie or tracking notice. You may update your preferences at any time using the options provided on our website or through your browser settings.
California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Information collected through cookies, tracking pixels, or similar technologies may be considered personal information under California law.
Where applicable, you may exercise your California privacy rights through our cookie or tracking notice available on our website. You may submit a request to access, correct, or delete your personal information by contacting us. We will respond to verifiable requests in accordance with applicable laws.
Global Privacy Control (GPC) Acknowledgment
Where applicable, we recognize browser‑based privacy preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.
Third‑Party Technologies
We may use third‑party analytics and technology providers (such as website analytics or social media platforms) to help us understand website usage and improve our services. These providers may process information collected through cookies or tracking technologies on our behalf and are subject to contractual obligations. We do not permit third parties to use personal information collected through our website for their own independent marketing purposes.

You may opt out of receiving future information via e-mail by using the unsubscribe procedure specified on the e-mail message or by replying “STOP” to opt out of future texts.
Compliance with the Law
While we are committed to protecting user privacy, we may disclose personal information if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations (such as a valid subpoena) or to protect our rights and property.
A Special Note About Children
At Maryvale, your child’s digital safety is as important to us as their mental well-being and education. We encourage you to talk with your children about how to share information responsibly online. We do not intentionally collect or share personal data from children with third parties for marketing purposes. If you have any questions about how your child interacts with our site or how their information is handled, we are here to help—please reach out to us at any time.
