Missioteca respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us through missioteca.org and our giving platform, which supports our initiatives: Proclama, WordUp, AguaGuate, and Arise. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what choices you have. By using our website or making a donation, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1.Information We Collect
We may collect the following when you visit our site, make a donation, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us:
- • Contact information: name, email address, mailing address, phone number.
- • Donation information: amount, frequency, designated initiative or fund, and payment information (securely processed by our external providers; Missioteca does not store full card numbers).
- • Communications: any message you send us by email, contact form, or text message.
- • Technical information: basic data such as IP address and browser type, collected through standard server logs and essential site cookies. We do not currently use analytics or advertising tracking tools on our site.
2.How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- • Process and confirm your donations, and issue tax receipts when applicable.
- • Send you updates on the impact of your donation, newsletters, and mission-related communications, only if you have given consent to receive them.

4.Who We Share Your Information With
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for targeted advertising. We may share it only with:
- • Service providers who process donations or communications on our behalf (currently Funraise and our email/SMS messaging provider), required to protect your information and use it only to provide services to us.
- • Legal authorities, if required by law.
5.How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Payment information is processed by certified external providers; Missioteca does not directly store full credit or debit card data.
6.Your Rights and Choices
You may:
- • Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- • Request correction of inaccurate data.
- • Request deletion of your information, subject to our legal and accounting obligations.
- • Unsubscribe from email communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in every email.
- • Stop receiving text messages by replying STOP.
We do not sell your personal information or share it for targeted advertising. Residents of U.S. states with their own privacy laws (such as California or Colorado) may exercise the access, correction, and deletion rights described above.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information at the end of this page.
7.International Donors
Missioteca is based in the United States, and the information you provide is processed and stored there. If you donate from outside the U.S., you understand that your information will be transferred to and handled in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country. We apply the protections described in this policy regardless of where you live.
8.How Long We Keep Your Information
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy — for example, to maintain an accurate record of your donations or to comply with legal and accounting obligations. In some cases we may retain it longer if required by law or necessary to defend or bring a legal claim.
9.Children's Privacy
Our site and giving platform are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover we have collected such information, we will delete it.
10.Changes to This Policy
