How Your Info Is Protected

Our site is hosted by Squarespace, which provides secure encryption and uses trusted third-party tools (like Stripe and PayPal) for transactions. These platforms follow strong privacy standards.

We also use built-in Squarespace analytics and email tools to better understand how visitors engage with our site, but we do not use or share your data for targeted advertising.

Children’s Privacy

We collect limited information from parents or guardians solely for the purpose of serving children through our programs. We do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children under 13 without parent or guardian consent.

Cookies & Tracking

Our website may use basic cookies through Squarespace to enhance your browsing experience. We do not currently use external ad tracking tools like Meta Pixel.

Your Rights

You can request access to your information, ask us to correct or delete it, or unsubscribe from emails at any time. Just email us at admin@yarastarfoundation.org.

We Value Your Trust

Thank you for walking alongside us. You’re helping children discover their God-given purpose—and we’re dedicated to protecting your privacy along the way.
