Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 2026

At The Gift of Go, we believe privacy is as essential as joy. We are committed to protecting the personal information of our survivors, donors, and supporters. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data.

1. The Information We Collect

We only collect information that helps us move the mission forward. This includes:

• Application Data: When you apply for a "Spark," we collect your name, contact details, and the story of your passion so we can review your request.

• Donation Data: When you sponsor the London Marathon or donate, we collect billing information via our secure payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal).

• Communication: Your email address, if you sign up for our newsletter or contact us directly.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your information strictly to:

• Review and fulfill "Gift of Go" requests.

• Process donations and provide tax receipts.

• Send you updates on the London Marathon record attempt (if you’ve opted in).

• Improve our website experience.

3. Our "No Red Tape" Privacy Promise

• No Selling: We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

• Storytelling Consent: We will never share your recovery story or photos on social media or our website without your explicit, written "Go" to do so.

• The Blast Radius: We treat the data of caregivers and children with the highest level of sensitivity and security.

4. Data Security

We use industry-standard encryption and secure hosting via Wix to ensure your data is protected from unauthorized access. While no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, we do everything in our power to keep your information safe.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Ask us what data we have about you.

• Request that we delete your data entirely.

• Opt-out of any marketing emails at any time by clicking "unsubscribe."

6. Cookies

Our website uses cookies to help us understand how people use the site so we can make it easier to navigate. You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.
