Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 1, 2026
GiveBlack (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the GiveBlack mobile application and related services (collectively, the “App”). Please read this policy carefully. By using the App, you consent to the practices described herein.
1. Information We Collect
a. Information You Provide
When you create an account, we collect your full name, email address, zip code, and password. If you register as a charity or nonprofit organization, we also collect your organization name, category, description, website URL, and banking information (routing number, account number, bank name) for the purpose of processing donation disbursements.
b. Donation Information
When you make a donation, we collect transaction details including the donation amount, selected organization, date and time, and payment method. Tax receipts are generated and stored for your records.
c. Automatically Collected Information
We automatically collect certain device and usage information, including device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, IP address, browser type, app usage patterns, and crash reports. This information helps us improve the App experience and diagnose technical issues.
d. Location Information
With your consent, we may collect approximate location information based on your zip code to show you locally relevant organizations and causes. We do not track your precise GPS location.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
a. We Do Not Sell Your Data
GiveBlack does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Your trust is fundamental to our mission.
b. Organizations You Support
When you make a donation, the receiving organization may receive your name and email address so they can acknowledge your contribution and provide impact updates. You can opt out of this sharing in your Privacy & Security settings.
c. Service Providers
We share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the App:
These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us.
d. Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
4. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest, secure payment processing through PCI-compliant providers, regular security audits, and access controls limiting employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis. While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Donation records are retained for a minimum of seven (7) years for tax compliance purposes. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

8. Third-Party Links
The App may contain links to third-party websites, including the websites of nonprofit organizations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access through the App.
