Tentmaker Travels ("we," "us") runs this website to share our mission, point people to resources, and make it easy to get in touch or give. We try to collect as little personal information as possible, and we never sell it.
What we collect
The only information you actively send us through this site is what you type into our contact form: your name, email address, and the message you choose to share.
Like most websites, our host may receive standard request data (such as IP address and browser user-agent) in server logs when your browser loads a page. We do not run our own analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts, and we do not set marketing cookies.
How we use it
- To read and respond to messages you send through the contact form.
- To keep the site running reliably and to diagnose technical problems.
We do not use your information for advertising or profiling.
Third-party services
A handful of outside services are linked or embedded on this site:
- PayPal — when you choose to donate, our "Donate" buttons send you to PayPal's hosted donation page. Any payment information you enter there is collected and processed by PayPal under their own privacy policy. We receive only the basic donation details PayPal makes available to recipients.
- YouTube — our Resources page links to videos on YouTube and displays YouTube-hosted thumbnail images. Loading those thumbnails sends a request to YouTube/Google.
- Google favicon service — small site icons next to each linked resource are loaded from Google's public favicon endpoint, which involves a request to Google.
We do not share your contact-form submissions with any of these services.
Cookies
This site does not set tracking or advertising cookies. Your browser may store ordinary technical data (such as cache entries) while you visit, as it does for any site.
Data retention
We keep contact-form messages only as long as needed to respond to you and maintain a reasonable record of our correspondence. You can ask us to delete your message at any time using the contact information below.
Donation records held by PayPal are retained by PayPal according to their own policies and applicable law.
Your rights
You can ask us what information of yours we hold, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email or call us using the contact details below and we will respond in a reasonable timeframe.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes we will update this page and revise the "Last updated" date above.
