Privacy Policy
Save the Redwoods League (“Save the Redwoods,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we collect through our websites, including https://www.savetheredwoods.org (collectively, the “Sites”), how we use that information and the choices available to you regarding our information practices.
By accessing or using our Sites, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy.
Save the Redwoods may modify this Privacy Policy at any time by posting an updated version on the Sites. Unless otherwise stated, changes are effective upon posting. Your continued use of the Sites following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
Children’s Privacy
The Sites are not directed to children under the age of 13, and Save the Redwoods does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If Save the Redwoods becomes aware that it has collected personal information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, Save the Redwoods will take reasonable steps to delete such information. Parents or legal guardians who believe their child may have provided personal information may contact Save the Redwoods at [email protected].
Your California Privacy Rights
California residents may have certain rights under applicable California privacy laws, including the right to request access to or deletion of personal information, subject to applicable legal exceptions and verification requirements.

• Subscribe to communications; or
• Otherwise interact with Save the Redwoods through the Sites.
The information collected may include personal information such as your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, payment or transaction information and any other information you choose to provide.
If you elect to make a donation anonymously, Save the Redwoods will honor that request in our public-facing donor acknowledgments. However, Save the Redwoods may retain donor and transaction information internally as necessary for accounting, tax reporting, legal compliance, fraud prevention and other operational purposes.
Information Collected Automatically. When you visit the Sites, Save the Redwoods may automatically collect certain information, including:
• Internet Protocol (IP) address;
• Browser type, device type and operating system;
• Pages viewed, links clicked and time spent on the Sites; and
• Referring or exit website addresses.
This information is collected through cookies, log files, analytics tools and similar technologies and is generally used in aggregated or de-identified form, although it may be associated with a particular device, browser or session.
Analytics and Tracking Technologies. Save the Redwoods uses third party analytics services, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors engage with the Sites. These services may collect information such as IP addresses, device identifiers and usage data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Save the Redwoods does not intentionally provide analytics providers with information that directly identifies an individual. In limited circumstances, Save the Redwoods may internally associate analytics information with information voluntarily provided by a user (such as through an online form) for internal purposes, including improving website performance, communications and outreach effectiveness.
Users may manage analytics and advertising cookies through the cookie consent banner available on the Sites or through browser‑level controls. Additional information regarding Google Analytics is available through Google’s publicly available privacy documentation; for more information, please review Google Analytics’ privacy policy and terms of service.

• Communicating with you about Save the Redwoods’ programs, activities, events and opportunities;

• Conducting fundraising, advocacy, educational and outreach activities consistent with Save the Redwoods’ mission;
• Operating, maintaining and improving the Sites and Save the Redwoods’ programs and services;
• Maintaining internal records and databases; and
• Complying with applicable legal, accounting and regulatory obligations.
Save the Redwoods may also use aggregated or de-identified information for analytical, research and reporting purposes.
Sharing of Information
Save the Redwoods may share information in the following circumstances:
• Service Providers: With vendors, consultants and service providers that perform services on Save the Redwoods’ behalf and are contractually obligated to use the information only as necessary to provide those services.
• Mission-Related Partners: With contractors, agents and selected third parties in furtherance of Save the Redwoods’ mission related programmatic, development and outreach activities.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small data files stored on your device that support website functionality, remember preferences and enable usage analysis.
Save the Redwoods uses cookies and similar technologies, including those provided by third party analytics services, to operate and improve the Sites. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the Sites to function and cannot be disabled through the consent tool.
You may manage cookie preferences through the cookie consent banner or through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit certain Sites features or functionality.

Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers transmit “Do Not Track” or similar signals. California law requires Save the Redwoods to disclose how we respond to web browser Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Because there is no consistent industry or legal standard for recognizing such signals, Save the Redwoods does not currently respond to them.
Data Security
Save the Redwoods maintains commercially reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including the use of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption technologies for certain sensitive transactions.
Credit card information is retained only for the period necessary to process donations or purchases. Access to account information is restricted to authorized personnel through secure portions of the Sites.
However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and Save the Redwoods cannot ensure or warrant security of information.
Third-Party Links
The Sites may contain links to third party websites or services. Save the Redwoods is not responsible for the content, security or privacy practices of those third parties, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites they visit.
