1. Introduction & Organizational Structure
Jen Travels Gives Back ("we," "us," or "our") is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating through jentravelsgivesback.com. We are dedicated to supporting community impact projects, charitable initiatives, and philanthropic travel endeavors.
Important Relationship Disclosures:
- Separate Legal Entity: Jen Travels Gives Back is an independent 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and operates separately from the travel agency Jen Travels (the "Parent Organization").
- No Travel Bookings On-Site: This website (
jentravelsgivesback.com) is an informational platform showcasing our mission, community projects, and upcoming initiatives. It does not process, arrange, or store travel bookings, passenger details, or passport information. Any travel arrangements associated with our initiatives are facilitated independently by Jen Travels under its own separate privacy and operational policies.
2. Personal Information & Third-Party Platforms
We do not directly collect, store, or process personal identification information, passport data, or credit card details on jentravelsgivesback.com.
A. Donations and Fundraising (Givebutter)
All donations, event registrations, campaign contributions, and donor communications are managed and processed off-site or via embedded forms provided by our third-party giving platform, Givebutter, Inc. ("Givebutter").
When you make a donation or register for an initiative:
- Your personal information (such as name, email address, billing address, and payment card details) is collected directly by Givebutter.
- Givebutter processes your payment securely in compliance with PCI-DSS standards. We do not receive or store full payment card numbers or sensitive financial credentials on our servers.
- Information collected by Givebutter is governed by the Givebutter Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review their policy to understand how your data is handled.
B. Direct Communications
If you voluntarily reach out to us via external email links or contact channels listed on our site, we will use your provided contact information solely to respond to your inquiry.
3. Automatically Collected Technical Information
When you visit jentravelsgivesback.com, standard technical and analytical data may be collected automatically by our web hosting provider and basic site tools:
- Log Data & Device Info: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and date/time stamps.
- Cookies & Tracking: Essential session cookies required for basic website functionality, security, and performance. If third-party website analytics (such as Google Analytics) are utilized, they collect aggregated, non-personally identifiable usage metrics to help us understand site traffic and improve layout.
You can modify your web browser settings to decline or clear cookies at any time, though doing so may affect your viewing experience.
4. How We Use Information
Because we do not collect personal data directly through the website, any technical data automatically logged is strictly used for:
- Maintaining website stability, security, and SSL encryption.
- Analyzing broad usage trends to improve user experience.
- Fulfilling reporting and regulatory compliance for 501(c)(3) nonprofit operations.
5. Third-Party Links & External Services
jentravelsgivesback.com contains links to external websites, including:
- Jen Travels (for travel booking and trip information).

- Social media platforms and community partner sites.
We do not control, monitor, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or data protection policies of these third-party websites. We recommend reviewing the privacy notices of any external site you visit.
6. Data Security & Storage
While we do not store sensitive donor or travel records on our website servers, jentravelsgivesback.com employs administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—including SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption—to secure website traffic and protect against unauthorized access or server tampering.
7. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)
jentravelsgivesback.com is intended for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

8. Your Rights & State Privacy Disclosures
Depending on your state or jurisdiction of residence, you may have rights regarding personal information processed about you, such as requesting confirmation of stored data or opting out of communications.

We do not sell, rent, or trade user data or donor lists.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy as our website features or operational tools evolve. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised "Effective Date."
