Privacy Policy

Introduction

The Rural Labor & Economic Development Corporation ("RLEDC," "we," "us," or "our") is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Tucumcari, New Mexico. We are committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who visits our website at rledc.org (the "Site") and who interacts with our programs and services.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to operate our programs and respond to inquiries:

Information you provide directly

• Contact details (name, email address, phone number, organization) when you complete a contact form, partner inquiry, or program application.
• Any information you choose to include in messages you send us.

Information collected automatically

• Basic technical data such as browser type, device type, general geographic region, and pages visited. This is standard web-server and analytics information used to understand how the Site is used.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not collect sensitive personal information unless you voluntarily provide it in connection with a specific program.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your questions, applications, and partnership inquiries;
• Provide and improve our programs, services, and resources;
• Communicate about opportunities, events, and organizational updates you have requested;
• Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it;
• Comply with legal, grant, and reporting obligations as a nonprofit organization.

Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in these limited circumstances:

• Service providers who help us operate the Site or our programs (for example, email or hosting providers), under confidentiality obligations;
• Grant and funding partners where required for program reporting, and only to the extent necessary;
• Legal compliance when required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.

Cookies & Analytics

The Site may use cookies and similar technologies to support basic functionality and to gather aggregate analytics about Site usage. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from using the core features of the Site.

Third-Party Links

Our Site links to external resources operated by government agencies, nonprofits, and other organizations. When you follow an external link, you will see a brief notice letting you know you are leaving rledc.org. These external sites are not controlled by RLEDC, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Your Choices & Rights

You may:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you;
• Ask us to correct or delete your information;
• Opt out of any non-essential communications at any time.

Donor Privacy

Consistent with nonprofit best practices, RLEDC does not sell or share donor information with unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing. Donor information is used only to process contributions, provide acknowledgments and tax receipts, and communicate about our mission. Donors may request that their information not be used for further solicitation.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
