Privacy Policy
How christovalfire.com handles the information you share with Christoval VFD. Last updated November 4, 2026.
This Privacy Policy explains how the Christoval Volunteer Fire Department (“Christoval VFD,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses and protects information through christovalfire.com (the “Site”).
Information we collect
- Contact form. When you send a message we receive your name, email address, optional phone number and your message, along with the date, time and IP address of the submission for spam prevention.
- Email and phone. If you email or call our officers or Community Center contacts, we receive whatever you choose to share.
- Community Center agreements. If you rent the Community Center, the agreement you return includes your name, organization, address, phone, email, event details and payment information you provide.
- Server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages visited to keep the Site secure and working.
Donations
Online donations are handled entirely by PayPal on PayPal’s website. We never see or store your card or bank details. PayPal shares with us the information needed to record your gift (such as your name, email and donation amount). PayPal’s own privacy policy governs how it handles your information.
How we use information
- To answer your questions and messages.
- To schedule and manage Community Center rentals.
- To record and acknowledge donations.
- To keep the Site secure and prevent spam or abuse.
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with volunteers and officers who need it to help you, with service providers (such as our web host and PayPal) who process it for us, or when required by law.
Cookies and tracking
The Site does not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics trackers. Links to PayPal and Facebook take you to those services, which have their own cookies and policies.
Children
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Security and retention
We use reasonable measures to protect information, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We keep messages and rental records only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law.
Your choices
You may ask us to update or delete information you have sent us by contacting us at the address below.
