Privacy Policy

Silicon Oasis Initiative Inc. ("Silicon Oasis," "we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information through our website (https://thesiliconoasis.org), donation and subscription forms, event registration pages, and other points of contact.

Silicon Oasis Initiative Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating in the State of Arizona. As such, we are committed not only to transparency and accountability in our mission but also to handling your personal data in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for California residents and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.

We collect personal information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, mailing address (particularly for magazine delivery), company or organizational affiliation, and payment information. This information is gathered via forms on our GoDaddy-hosted website, through PayPal for donations and purchases, and via other marketing tools used to support our nonprofit outreach and operations.

We also collect non-personal, technical information through cookies, analytics, and tracking tools provided by GoDaddy. These may include your IP address, browser type, time spent on the site, and referring pages. Cookies help us improve our user experience, analyze traffic, and inform our outreach strategies.

Your information is used strictly to deliver the services you've requested—such as sending newsletters or fulfilling magazine subscriptions—and to communicate with you about events, updates, and initiatives related to our nonprofit mission. We may also use anonymized, aggregate data for reporting and impact assessment purposes. We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

We may share your information with trusted service providers, such as PayPal and GoDaddy, solely to carry out operational functions like processing payments, hosting data, or delivering content. These partners are bound by their own privacy policies and legal obligations to protect your data.

We take appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect the data we collect. However, no method of data transmission or storage is entirely secure. We encourage you to contact us if you suspect your data has been misused.

You have the right to access, update, or request deletion of your personal information. You may also opt out of receiving communications  from us at any time by clicking "unsubscribe" in emails or contacting us directly at info@thesiliconoasis.org. To unsubscribe from any paid subscriptions, email us at the same address.

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If we discover that we have collected data from a child, we will promptly delete it.

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. Any changes will be posted here with a revised effective date. By continuing to use our website and services, you agree to the terms of this policy.
