Privacy Policy

1) Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Rayor Manor Development, LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use grantsandfoundationsfinder.com (the “Site”) and related tools (the “Service”).

2) Information we collect

A) Information you provide

• Account registration. When you create an account, we collect your first name, last name, email address, password (stored as a secure hash), and any optional organization name.
• Saved items, notes, and tracking fields. If you use the “save” and notes features, we store what you enter so those features work. Optional notes are not published publicly.
• Contact form submissions. If you contact us using our Contact form, we collect the information you submit (name, email, reason, and any message you include). You may optionally provide an organization name and phone number, and you may optionally opt in to receive promotional emails.

B) Information collected automatically

• Server logs. Like most websites, our servers may automatically record basic request information (which can include IP address, browser type, and timestamps) for security and operational purposes.
• Security and troubleshooting logs. We may use error logs and related records to diagnose issues, prevent abuse, and keep the Service reliable.
• Cookies and similar technologies. Cookies may be used for session/login, site functionality, security, analytics, and (if enabled) advertising.

C) Search inputs and analytics (aggregate)

When you use our search tools, we process the criteria you submit (for example: EIN, tax year, state, keywords, and other filters) to return results. We may also record search usage in aggregate to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website, and to understand which features and outreach/marketing efforts are most effective.

• Our search-analytics log may include: the search inputs submitted, the page/tool used, whether you were logged in at the time (yes/no), and the time of the request.
• We do not intentionally store account identifiers, IP addresses, or device identifiers in this search-analytics log.

Please avoid entering sensitive personal data into search fields.

3) How we use information

• Provide and operate the Service (including accounts, login, saved items, and notes).
• Send operational emails (verification, password reset, security notices).
• Respond to inquiries and provide support.
• Improve performance, functionality, and user experience (including debugging and monitoring).
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, scraping, and security incidents.
• Measure traffic and usage in aggregate (analytics) and evaluate outreach/marketing effectiveness in aggregate.
• Serve ads and measure ad performance (if ads are enabled).
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

4) How we share information

We may share information with:

• Service providers (hosting, database, email delivery, security tooling, analytics) who process data on our behalf to operate the Site.
• Advertising partners (if enabled) who may use cookies/IDs to show or measure ads, subject to their own policies.
• Legal and safety reasons if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security of the Site, users, or the public.
• Business transfers (merger, acquisition, asset sale), where information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not sell your personal information for money in the traditional sense. If we enable ad partners that use cookies for personalized advertising, some laws may treat that as “sharing” for advertising purposes.

5) Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function and remember preferences. Cookies are often described by category: essential, analytics/performance, functionality, and advertising.

• Essential cookies for login/session, security, and basic site operation.
• Analytics cookies to understand traffic and improve the Service.
• Advertising cookies (if enabled) to display and measure ads, including potentially personalized ads.

Your choices

• Browser controls. You can control cookies through your browser settings and may delete existing cookies.
• Analytics opt-outs. If we use third-party analytics tools, they may offer opt-out mechanisms.
• Ad opt-outs. If we use ad networks, you can often opt out of interest-based ads through industry tools and/or your browser/device settings.
• Do Not Track. Some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals; sites do not respond uniformly. We may not respond to DNT signals.

6) Email preferences

• Operational emails (verification, password reset) are necessary to provide account services.
• Promotional emails are optional. If you opt in, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the email.

7) Data retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including security, troubleshooting, and legal compliance. Account data (including saved items and notes) is retained while your account remains active. If you request deletion, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize personal data, subject to legal and operational requirements.

8) Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9) Your rights and requests

You may request access, correction, or deletion of your account information by contacting us (see “Contact” below). We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

10) Children’s privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information, please Contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

11) International visitors

The Site is operated from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., you understand that information may be processed and stored in the U.S. where privacy laws may differ from your jurisdiction.

12) Links to other websites

The Site may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review their policies separately.

13) Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will reflect changes. Continued use of the Site after updates means you accept the revised policy.
