Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 30, 2026
About
Bronx Executive Pearls Fund, Inc. (BEPF) serves the South Bronx, and protecting your privacy is part of that service. This policy explains what information we collect through www.bronxexecutivepearlsfundinc.org, how we use and protect it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to this policy. We never sell your personal information.
Information We Collect
Information you share. When you contact us, join our mailing list, register for an event, donate, or apply for a scholarship, we collect what you provide, such as your name, contact details, and gift amount. Scholarship applications also include school records, essays, recommendations, and parent or guardian contact information.
Information collected automatically. Our website platform, Wix, collects basic technical data such as your browser, device, IP address, and the pages you visit. Wix and analytics tools such as Google Analytics use cookies for security, checkout, and site improvement. You can block cookies in your browser, though some features, including donations, may not work. Our website does not respond to "Do Not Track" signals.
How We Use and Share Your Information
We use your information to process donations and send receipts, review scholarship applications, manage events, respond to inquiries, send updates you opt into, improve our website, and meet our legal and tax obligations.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. We share it only with service providers that help us operate (such as Wix, payment processors), when the law requires it, or with your permission. We never publish a donor's name or a scholar's name, photo, or story without consent.
How We Protect Your Information
Our website uses SSL encryption. Payments are processed by Wix Payments and its PCI-compliant partners, so BEPF never sees or stores your full card number. Access to your information is limited to board members and volunteers who need it, and we keep records only as long as our programs and tax and legal rules require.
No website is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information sent online. If a breach affects your information, we will notify you as New York State law requires.
Your Choices
You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in any message. To request a copy of your information or to correct or delete it, email us, and we will respond within 30 days. We may keep records the law requires us to hold.
Changes and Contact
We may update this policy and will post changes on this page with a new effective date. Websites we link to are governed by their own privacy policies.
