This policy explains what information StarfishFloat.org may collect, why it may be used, and the choices available to you. We aim to collect only what serves a clear purpose and to communicate our practices in plain language.
1
Information we collect
We may collect information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, phone number, general location, interests, availability, transportation access, volunteer requirements, preferred contact method, organizational affiliation, and the contents of a message when you subscribe, contact us, complete a participation form, or otherwise communicate with StarfishFloat.org.
Our website and service providers may also receive limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring page, and the date and time of a request. We store your privacy choices on your device so the site can remember them.
2
How we use information
We use information to provide requested updates, respond to messages, operate and protect the website, understand and improve the visitor experience, fulfill legal obligations, and support the work described on StarfishFloat.org.
We do not sell personal information. We do not currently share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
3
Forms and email updates
Native signup and participation forms record information in the Wellsprings Connection Engine using Cloudflare hosting and database services. We use it to review your response, follow up when appropriate, and deliver the updates you choose. Email delivery may use Resend. Use the personal preferences link in an email to manage or unsubscribe from optional updates, or contact us for assistance.
4
Cookies and similar technologies
Necessary storage supports basic operation and remembers whether you accepted or declined optional website insights. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity remain disabled unless you choose “Yes, Help Us Improve.”
You may decline optional insights and continue using the site normally. Clearing browser storage resets your selection and presents the welcome choice again.
5
Global Privacy Control
When a supported browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, StarfishFloat.org treats it as a request to keep optional tracking disabled for that browser. The site does not knowingly override that signal.
6
How information may be shared
Information may be shared with service providers that help us host the site, deliver email, maintain security, or operate requested features. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of an organizational transition. Providers are expected to use information only for the services they perform.
7
Data retention and security
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, legal requirements, dispute resolution, and legitimate operational needs. We use reasonable safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
8
Your choices and rights
You may ask to access, correct, or delete information you provided, withdraw analytics consent by clearing this site’s stored data, unsubscribe from email, or request information about our practices. Rights vary by location. We will respond to applicable requests and may need to verify your identity.
9
Children
StarfishFloat.org is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact us so we can address it.

External links
This site links to Wellsprings Mission, Join Wellsprings, the Healing & Restoration Center, Starfish Float, LinkedIn, and other outside services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the mission, website, and services develop. The effective date below will be revised when material changes are made.
When you contact us, we use the information you submit to understand your inquiry, respond to you, and coordinate appropriate follow-up. Submissions are processed using Wellsprings-controlled intake services hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure. Information may be associated with the relevant Wellsprings organization, initiative, or activity, and access is limited according to its purpose and applicable permissions.
Signing up for occasional email updates is optional and separate from contacting us about an inquiry. We record your choice and do not treat a general inquiry as automatic permission for marketing communications. If we later use an email delivery service, that provider may process the information needed to send messages on our behalf. You can request to stop receiving updates.
We use appropriate technical and organizational safeguards, but no transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Please do not submit sensitive medical, financial, or identification documents using general website forms. Contact us to discuss an appropriate channel if needed.
For questions about access, correction, deletion, or email preferences, use the contact details provided on this website. Some information may need to be retained for legitimate organizational, legal, or safety purposes.
Clean analytics account and your choice
Updated October 27, 2026. Optional analytics is managed by Wellsprings Mission by the Wellsprings Mission digital team (protected digital-team contact). We request a fresh analytics choice rather than reuse approval stored for the previous installation. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity stay off until you accept, and Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track keeps them off. Advertising storage and advertising personalization are disabled.
Providers receive technical information such as IP address, device/browser details, page visits and interactions, and may set analytics cookies. Clarity uses strict masking and explicit page text masking, including inputs. Google enhanced measurement is off; our page view omits query strings, fragments and referrer and uses a fixed website title. We do not send form answers or private inquiry references as analytics events. Pages with query strings, privacy/preferences/thank-you pages and unrecognized routes are excluded.
Cookie preferences lets you change your choice. Withdrawing unloads the libraries by reloading the page and clears common first-party analytics cookies; copy unsent answers before changing an active choice. A yes/no browser preference and its date last up to 180 days. Necessary cookies and website forms are separate. Withdrawal does not automatically erase provider history. Old account history was not recovered or deleted. For privacy questions or deletion requests, email the protected Starfish Float support contact.

A Little Help Along the Journey
With your permission, Google Analytics measures visits and Microsoft Clarity records masked page interactions to help us improve. You are always welcome to continue without insights. Changing an active choice to off reloads this page; copy any unsent answers first.
We are committed to treating every visitor and their information with care, honesty, and respect.
