Privacy Policy
Effective Date: March 18, 2026
Welcome to our website! We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you interact with our site, including joining our mailing list or making donations to Riis Settlement.
Information We Collect
We may collect two types of information when you interact with our site. First, we gather anonymous data using cookies and similar technologies, such as visit counts and page views. This information helps us improve our website and is only accessible to our website maintenance team. It cannot be used to identify individual users, and you can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
Second, if you join our mailing list or make a donation, we may collect personally identifiable information (PII), including your name, email address, postal address, and phone number. We use this information to provide updates about our programs and services, securely process payments through Network for Good (NFG), respond to inquiries and comments, enhance our marketing and operational efforts, and recognize donor generosity. Donor names may appear in our annual report as a gesture of appreciation; if you prefer to remain anonymous, please let us know.
Sharing and Storage
We do not share your personal information with third parties except for those who help maintain our website or process payments. When you click “Donate Now,” you will be redirected to NFG’s secure portal—please review their privacy policy for details. All donor information is securely stored in DonorPerfect, our donor management platform, which uses advanced encryption and safety protocols.

We value your privacy. If you have any questions or concerns, or wish to opt out of our communications or restrict the information we collect, please contact us via email at amcenery@riissettlement.org or by phone at 718-784-7447 ext.116.
