Individuals and organizations interested in the WIME™ Framework may submit information through a WIME™ Partnership Interest form.

Information submitted through this process may be used to evaluate potential partnership opportunities, identify appropriate partnership pathways, conduct follow-up communications, and support development of the WIME™ workforce ecosystem.

Submitting a partnership interest form does not create a contractual partnership, employment relationship, funding commitment, or other binding relationship with Aura Rainwater Foundation.

Aura Rainwater Foundation may use third-party fundraising and payment-processing providers to securely facilitate donations.

When you make a donation through a third-party provider, payment information may be collected and processed directly by that provider according to its own privacy policy and terms.

Aura Rainwater Foundation does not intend to collect or store complete payment-card information directly through this website.

We may receive donor information from our fundraising provider, such as your name, contact information, donation amount, donation frequency, campaign information, and other information necessary to acknowledge and administer your contribution.

Aura Rainwater Foundation does not sell personal information.

We may share information when reasonably necessary with service providers or organizations that help us operate our website, communications, fundraising, programs, data systems, or other Foundation activities.

We may also disclose information when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, security, or property of Aura Rainwater Foundation, our participants, partners, supporters, or others.

Our website may contain links to or use services provided by third parties, including online forms, fundraising platforms, email services, analytics providers, and other technology providers.

When you interact with a third-party website or service, that provider's privacy practices and terms may apply. Aura Rainwater Foundation is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of independently operated third-party websites.

Our website or service providers may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, understand website usage, maintain security, or improve visitor experience.

The technologies used may change as our website and digital services develop.

Visitors may be able to control certain cookies through their browser or device settings.

Aura Rainwater Foundation takes reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical measures designed to protect information under our control.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, administer our programs and partnerships, maintain appropriate records, comply with legal or reporting obligations, and protect legitimate organizational interests.

You may contact Aura Rainwater Foundation to:

• Ask questions about information you have provided to us
• Request correction or updating of your contact information
• Request removal from nonessential email communications
• Ask about our privacy practices

Certain records may need to be retained when required for legal, financial, regulatory, grant, donation, or legitimate organizational recordkeeping purposes.

Aura Rainwater Foundation's educational and workforce activities may serve students and young people. Our general website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in a manner inconsistent with applicable law.

Where programs involving minors require collection of personal information, ARF may use separate registration, consent, permission, or program-specific procedures as appropriate.

Parents or legal guardians with questions about information associated with a minor may contact the Foundation.

Aura Rainwater Foundation may update this Privacy Policy periodically as our website, programs, technologies, or legal requirements evolve.

When material changes are made, we may update the effective date displayed at the top of this policy.
