Privacy Policy

Effective October 28, 2026

ArtPad Inc. (“ArtPad”, “we”, “us”) is a nonprofit organization that provides art therapy programs for seniors, veterans and students. This policy explains what information we collect through our website and programs, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you send us. When you email, call or text us, we receive your name, contact details and anything you choose to share in your message.
Donations. Online donations are processed by a third-party payment provider. ArtPad does not store your card or bank details. We may receive your name, email, mailing address and gift amount so we can thank you and send a tax receipt.
Program participation. For our sessions we may collect participant names, emergency contacts and signed consent or release forms.
Website data. Like most websites, our host may record basic technical information such as your browser type and the pages you visit. Our site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address. We do not use advertising cookies.

How we use your information

To respond to your questions and plan sessions with partner organizations
To process donations, send receipts and keep required financial records
To run our programs safely and contact families or caregivers when needed
To share news about ArtPad, only if you have asked to hear from us

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate (such as our payment processor and email provider), or when required by law.

Photos and artwork

We photograph sessions and participants’ artwork to share our work with the community. We publish photos of participants only with a signed photo release. For anyone under 18, that release is signed by a parent or legal guardian. To ask us to remove a photo, contact us using the details below and we will take it down promptly.

Children’s privacy

Our youth programs run in partnership with schools and community organizations. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. Information about student participants is collected through our partner schools and parents or guardians, and is used only to run the program.

How we protect information

We limit access to personal information to the staff and volunteers who need it, and we keep paper consent forms stored securely. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we work to protect the information you share with us.

Your choices

You can ask us to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop sending you updates at any time.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our programs grow. The effective date at the top shows when it was last changed.
