Privacy Policy

Information we collect

The Mauro Institute may receive information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address and the contents of a message you send us. If you sign up for updates, we receive the information submitted through the signup form. If you donate, our donation provider may share information needed for acknowledgments and recordkeeping, such as your name, contact details and donation amount.

Our website and its service providers may also collect basic technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring pages and approximate visit time. This information helps us operate and protect the site.

How we use information

We use information to respond to messages, deliver updates you request, administer donations, maintain records, understand how the website is used, improve our content and protect the site against misuse. We may retain information when needed for legitimate operational, accounting or legal purposes.

Email updates

Newsletter signups on this site use Mailchimp. Some signup buttons take you to a form on RyanMauro.com, where your subscription is completed. If you subscribe, your email address and any other information you provide are handled through Mailchimp for Institute and Ryan Mauro updates. You can unsubscribe using the link in any email or contact us at the address below. For Mailchimp's handling of data, see its privacy statement.

Donations

The Support page includes an embedded donation form provided by Mazlo. Information you enter into that form is processed by Mazlo and its payment providers under their own policies. The Mauro Institute may receive donor and transaction details necessary to acknowledge gifts and maintain financial records. Payment card details entered into the Mazlo form are not collected through our website's own forms. See Mazlo's privacy policy for more information.

Third-party services and links

We use service providers for website hosting, email delivery, donation processing and embedded media. Pages may include YouTube videos or links to other websites and social platforms. Those services may collect information or use cookies when you interact with them, according to their own privacy policies. We may share information with service providers as needed to provide these functions, or when required by law or to protect rights and safety. External sites are responsible for their own practices.

Cookies, retention and security

Our site and embedded services may use cookies or similar technologies for core functionality, security and understanding site use. You can manage cookies through your browser, although some features may not work as expected if you disable them.

We keep personal information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, including legal, financial and security obligations. We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

Your choices

You may unsubscribe from email updates at any time. You can also contact us to ask about, correct or request deletion of information we hold about you, subject to any records we need to retain. Additional rights may apply depending on where you live. We may need to verify a request before acting on it.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy when our website or practices change. The date above shows the latest update. Questions or privacy requests can be sent to admin@ryanmauro.com.
