Last updated August 22, 2026
Queen Elizabeth II September 11th Garden, Inc. ('the Garden') is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 11-3681365). This policy explains what information we collect through this website and how we use it.
1. Information we collect
We collect information you give us directly, such as your name and email address when you contact us, sign up for updates, or make a donation. We may also collect basic technical information (like browser type and pages visited) through standard analytics.
2. How we use information
We use this information to respond to enquiries, send occasional newsletters (only if you've opted in), process donations, and understand how the site is used so we can improve it. We do not sell your personal information.
3. Donations and payment information
Donations are processed by a third-party payment provider (currently Blackbaud eTapestry). We do not receive or store your full payment card or bank details — those are handled entirely by the payment provider under their own privacy policy.
4. Cookies and tracking
This site uses a small number of cookies for essential functionality and basic analytics. See our Cookie Policy for details.
5. Sharing of information
We don't share your personal information with third parties except: service providers who help us operate the site (such as our payment processor or email provider), or when required by law.
6. Data retention
We keep contact and donation records for as long as needed to maintain accurate financial and nonprofit records, and to fulfil our obligations to donors and regulators.
7. Your rights
You can ask us to see, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, by emailing us at queenelizabethgarden@gmail.com.
