Privacy Policy

The Quad Cities Pride Alliance (QCPA) respects and values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the personal information of visitors to our website, www.qcppridealliance.org, and any related online services we operate.

​

We collect information in two primary ways. First, we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or mailing address when you voluntarily provide it—such as when you sign up for our newsletter, register for an event, or contact us directly. Second, we may collect non-personal information automatically through cookies or analytics tools, including your browser type, device information, IP address, and usage data. This helps us improve our website’s performance and user experience.

 

The information we collect is used to communicate with you about events, programs, and community updates; process registrations, donations, and sponsorships; improve our website and outreach efforts; and to comply with legal obligations or maintain security. We want to assure you that QCPA will never sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

​

In some cases, we may share limited information with trusted third-party service providers—such as email platforms or payment processors—who help us operate our website and manage events. These partners are required to keep your information secure and use it only for authorized purposes.

​

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience and analyze traffic patterns. You can choose to adjust your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer.

​

QCPA takes reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. If at any time you wish to access, correct, or delete the information we hold about you—or if you wish to withdraw your consent to receive communications—you may contact us at president.qcpa@gmail.com.

​

Please note that our website may contain links to third-party websites. QCPA is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these external sites, and we encourage you to review their individual privacy policies when visiting them.

The QCPA website is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors without verifiable parental consent.

​

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

​

If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, please contact us at president.qcpa@gmail.com or by mail at:
