Last Updated: April 28, 2026

Our Commitment to You

At Senior Concerns, we respect the trust you place in us. Whether you are seeking support, volunteering, or making a donation, we are committed to protecting your personal information and using it responsibly.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of personal information:

Information You Provide Directly

  • Name, address, email, and phone number
  • Donation information (including payment details)
  • Volunteer registration information
  • Program intake information (which may include health or care-related details when necessary to provide services)

Information Collected Automatically

  • IP address and device information
  • Website usage data through analytics tools
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies

Sensitive Personal Information

In limited cases, we may collect sensitive information (such as health-related details) solely for the purpose of providing appropriate services and support.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide services and support to older adults and caregivers
  • Process donations and issue tax receipts
  • Communicate about programs, events, and opportunities
  • Improve our website and services
  • Meet legal, regulatory, and grant-related requirements

We do not sell your personal information.

How We Share Information

We may share your information only as necessary with trusted service providers, including:

  • Payment processors (e.g., donation platforms)
  • Email and communication platforms
  • Website analytics providers

These partners are required to safeguard your information and use it only for the services they provide on our behalf.

Payment Processing (Authorize.Net)

Senior Concerns uses Authorize.Net, a secure third-party payment gateway, to process online donations and transactions.

When you make a donation:

  • Your payment information is transmitted securely and processed directly by Authorize.Net 
  • Senior Concerns does not store full credit card numbers on our servers 
  • Authorize.Net maintains its own privacy and security policies, which we encourage you to review 

This approach helps ensure your financial information is handled with a high level of security and in accordance with industry standards.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to:

  • Provide services
  • Meet legal and regulatory obligations (including IRS requirements for donations)
  • Maintain appropriate organizational records

When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

You may request to:

  • Know what personal information we have collected about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal obligations)

We may use tools such as Google Analytics to understand website usage. These tools collect information such as pages visited and time spent on the site, but do not identify you personally.

Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information.

While no system is completely secure, we are committed to maintaining strong security practices and continuously improving our protections.
