The Nilson Foundation helps furnish homes for families and individuals in need. To do that we collect some information from donors, from people asking for help, and from our staff and partners. This page explains what we collect, why, and what we do with it.
What we collect
- Donating items: your name, phone, email, pickup address, a description and photos of the items, and any notes about access or timing.
- Asking for help: your name, phone, email, city, household size, move-in date, the rooms or items you need, and anything you tell us in your message.
- Volunteering or partnering: your name, organization, phone, email, and message.
- Signing in to the portal: staff and partners sign in with their Google account. We receive only their name and email address from Google. We never see or store their Google password.
- Emails: if you email us, we keep the message so we can follow up.
How we use it
Only to run the Foundation's work: arranging pickups and deliveries, matching donated items with people who need them, contacting you about your donation or request, and keeping records of what we receive and give out. We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Who can see it
Foundation staff and volunteers who need it to do their job. When we deliver to a household referred by a partner organization, that partner can see the details of that request. We also use a few trusted service providers to run the site, such as our web host and our email provider (Google Workspace). They handle your information only on our behalf. We share information with others only if the law requires it.
Cookies
The public site does not use advertising or tracking cookies. The portal uses one cookie to keep staff and partners signed in.
Keeping it safe
Your information is stored on secured servers, sent over encrypted connections, and only signed-in staff can reach it.
Your choices
You can ask us what we have about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Some records may need to be kept, for example a record of a donation we received. To ask, contact us below.
