Privacy Policy
M.A.M.A. Community Foundation, Inc.
A 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization
Effective December 4, 2025
M.A.M.A. Community Foundation, Inc. (“MCF,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to respecting and protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose personal information when you visit www.mamacommunity.org (the “Site”) or use our programs and services (the “Services”).
“Personally Identifiable Information” (“PII”) means information such as your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, or any other data that can identify you as an individual.
MCF provides educational, supportive, and community-based services. We are not a healthcare provider, and we do not provide medical care. However, in certain programs—such as doula support or lactation counseling—we may collect information that could be considered “Protected Health Information” (“PHI”) when voluntarily shared with us. When applicable, PHI is handled in accordance with relevant privacy laws and program requirements.

Make a donation
Register as a volunteer or doula
Request support or information
Depending on the program, this may include:
Name, email, phone number
Demographic information
Due date or basic pregnancy information
Childbirth preferences
Information necessary for program enrollment
If you voluntarily submit health-related details to participate in a program, that information may be treated as PHI and handled according to applicable laws and our internal privacy practices.
B. Automatically Collected Information
When you use our Site, we may automatically collect:

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies
A “cookie” is a small text file placed on your device. Cookies may help us:
Understand how visitors use our Site
Improve navigation and user experience
Measure traffic and performance
Cookies do not give us access to information stored on your device beyond what you intentionally share.
You may disable cookies through your browser settings. You do not need to accept cookies to use most of our Site.
Some third-party tools (like advertisers, analytics services, or embedded content platforms) may set their own cookies. This Privacy Policy applies only to MCF’s use of cookies—not third-party cookies.

We do not sell your PII or PHI.
4. Sharing of Information
We only share your information in the following circumstances:
A. With Service Providers
We engage third-party vendors to help operate our Site and Services. These approved providers may have access to PII or PHI solely for the purpose of performing services on our behalf, such as:
Website hosting
Data storage
Email communications
Program registration platforms

Analytics tools
They are contractually obligated not to use or disclose your information for any other purpose.
B. With Funding Partners (Non-Identifiable Data Only)

Research or demographic analysis
Impact measurement
We do not share identifiable personal information unless required or explicitly permitted.

We may disclose information if:
Required by a court order, subpoena, or other legal process
Necessary to comply with federal, state, or local laws
Needed to protect the safety, rights, or property of MCF, our users, or the public
Necessary to prevent or address illegal activity
D. In the Event of Organizational Changes
If MCF engages in a merger, restructuring, asset transfer, or similar process, your information may be transferred as part of that transition in alignment with nonprofit legal requirements.
5. Protected Health Information (PHI)
MCF is not a medical provider, but in certain programs (e.g., doula support, lactation counseling), you may voluntarily share information about your pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience.
When applicable:
PHI is stored securely
PHI is shared only with staff or volunteers who need it to deliver program services
PHI is never sold or used for marketing
PHI is disclosed only with your consent or when required by law
If any program is covered by additional privacy requirements (e.g., Medicaid documentation standards), MCF complies with those obligations.
6. Children’s Privacy
Our Site is not intended for children under age 13, and we do not knowingly collect PII from children under 13.
We may collect information from parents or legal guardians regarding minors enrolled in MCF programs.
If we learn that a child under 13 has submitted PII without parental consent, we will delete it promptly.
7. Mobile Device Information
If you access our Site via mobile device, we may collect:
Device type
Operating system
User settings
General location information if you have enabled location services
You may disable location access in your device settings.
