The Bonifacio Valera, Jr. Foundation ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the personal information you provide through our website, kuyabon.org.

 

1. What We Collect

​

We collect personal information when you:

• Sign up for our newsletter

• Register for workshops or events

• Donate to our organization via GoFundMe

• Purchase merchandise

​

The types of information we may collect include:

• Name

• Email address

• Mailing address

• Phone number

• Child’s name, age, date of birth, and emergency contact info (for workshops)

• Any medical or accommodation info you choose to provide

• Consent preferences for media/photos

 

We do not collect payment information directly. Donations are handled through GoFundMe, and merchandise payments are processed by a third-party provider.

 

2. How We Use Your Information

 

We use the information you provide to:

• Register participants for workshops and events

• Communicate with you about programs and updates

• Send newsletters (if you opt in)

• Fulfill merchandise orders

• Maintain donation and contact records for administrative and tax purposes

 

3. Children’s Information

 

Our summer workshops are designed for children ages 6–14. All registration must be completed by a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

​

We ask for parental consent when collecting details like name, age, emergency contact, or medical information. We also give parents the option to allow or deny media release permissions.

 

4. How We Store and Protect Data

 

Workshop and registration data is sent to our email (admin@kuyabon.org) and stored on a password-protected personal computer used solely for nonprofit work. Access to this information is limited to authorized individuals.

We take reasonable precautions to protect your data, but no system is completely secure. By using our site, you acknowledge this risk.

 

5. Sharing Your Information

 

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share data when necessary to provide our services—for example:

• GoFundMe processes donations​

• A payment provider handles merchandise orders.

• We may use an email service provider to send newsletters

• These third parties have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

 

6. How Long We Keep Your Information

 

We keep your information as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, and to comply with legal, financial, and record-keeping requirements.

 

This includes:

• Retaining participant records for workshop administration

• Keeping donation and merchandise records for financial reporting

• Maintaining newsletter lists unless you unsubscribe

 

You can request that we delete your information at any time by contacting us at admin@kuyabon.org.

 

7. Your Choices

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. When we do, we’ll revise the “Effective Date” at the top. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated policy.
