1. Introduction
The Institute for Foundational Analysis ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you interact with our website, subscribe to updates, make donations, or contact us. By using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you:
Subscribe to receive updates, newsletters, or announcements.
Make a donation through our website.
Contact us via email.
The information we collect may include your name, email address, and, in the case of donations, payment details. If you send us an email, we may retain your message for reference or record-keeping purposes.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information you provide to:
Send updates and announcements related to our research and activities.
Process donations and provide donation receipts.
Respond to inquiries and submissions.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Donation transactions are processed through secure third-party payment providers, and we do not store credit card details.
