Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 3, 2026 Last updated: October 2026

The Last Save Inc ("The Last Save," "we," "us," or "our") is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 39-2677410. We respect your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through thelastsave.com (the "Site") and our forms, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

The short version: We collect only what we need to process your gift, order, or registration, review applications, and stay in touch. We do not sell or rent your personal information. We treat scholarship applications as confidential.

1. Information We Collect

Information you give us

• Donations. Your name, email, billing address, phone (if provided), donation amount and frequency, and any dedication or note. Card and bank details are entered directly into our payment processor (Wix Payments or another processor shown at checkout). We do not see or store your full card number.

• Store orders and pre-orders. Your name, email, phone, shipping and billing address, items ordered, size or color choices, and order history.

• Event tickets and RSVPs. Your name, email, phone, ticket type, number of guests, guest names, and any details you provide at registration (for example, dietary needs or accessibility requests).

• Scholarship and program applications. Applications can include sensitive information, such as your date of birth, contact details, city and state, emergency contact, treatment or sober-living history, length of sobriety, employment and income, financial support, personal story (including experiences with addiction, mental health, or trauma), sober-living provider details, a signature, and any letters of support you upload. Please share only what you are comfortable sharing.

• Contact form and messages. Your name, email, phone, the reason you're reaching out, and your message.

• Text message (SMS) opt-in. Your mobile number and a record of your consent (date, time, and the form you used).

• Member accounts. If you create an account, your login email, profile details, and account activity.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, our website platform (Wix) and analytics tools automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring website, approximate location (city or region), and the date and time of your visit. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 5).

Information from others

We may receive information from payment processors (such as confirmation that a payment went through), from event or fundraising partners when you give or register through them, or from someone who writes a letter of support for your application.

2. How We Use Information

We use your information to:

• Process donations, send tax receipts, and manage recurring gifts

• Fulfill and ship orders and pre-orders, and handle returns

• Manage event registration, check-in, and event communications

• Review scholarship and program applications, contact applicants and the references or providers they list, and administer awards

• Answer your questions and requests

• Send updates, newsletters, and texts you've agreed to receive

• Thank and recognize supporters (we'll ask before publicly naming you, and you can always give anonymously)

• Improve the Site and understand how people use it

• Prevent fraud, keep the Site secure, and meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations

Scholarship information is used only to evaluate and administer scholarships and related support. It is never used for fundraising or marketing, and it is never published or shared publicly without your explicit written permission.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only:

• With service providers who help us operate, such as Wix (website hosting, forms, store, events, and donations), payment processors, shipping carriers, email and text messaging providers, and analytics providers. They may use your information only to provide services to us.

• For scholarship administration, with the sober-living provider, treatment program, or references you list in your application, and only as needed to verify information or arrange support.

• With event partners or venues, limited to what's needed to run the event (for example, a guest list for check-in).

• When required by law, such as to respond to a subpoena or court order, to protect someone's safety, or to prevent fraud.

• If The Last Save merges with or transfers its programs to another nonprofit, subject to this policy.

• With your consent, for any other purpose.

Text message opt-in data and consent are never shared with or sold to third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes.

4. Text Messages (SMS)

If you check the box to receive texts, you agree to receive calls and text messages from The Last Save at the number you provided, including event reminders, program updates, and occasional donation appeals.

• Message frequency varies.

• Message and data rates may apply.

• Reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe. You'll receive one confirmation message and no further texts unless you opt in again.

• Reply HELP for help, or contact admin@thelastsave.com or (602) 616-7318.

• Consent is not a condition of donating, buying, registering, or receiving services.

• Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

5. Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files stored on your device. The Site uses:

• Essential cookies that make the Site work (for example, your cart, checkout, login, and security)

• Analytics cookies (such as Wix Analytics and, if enabled, Google Analytics) that help us understand traffic and improve the Site

• Marketing or social cookies (such as the Meta/Instagram pixel or embedded social feeds), if enabled, that help measure our outreach

You can control cookies through the Site's cookie banner (where shown) and your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.

6. How Long We Keep Information

We keep information only as long as we need it:

• Donation and order records: as long as required for tax, accounting, and legal purposes (generally at least 7 years)

• Scholarship applications: for as long as you are being considered or supported, and then up to 3 years so we can report on our programs. After that, we delete them or remove the information that identifies you. You may ask us to delete your application sooner (see Section 9).

• Event registrations: up to 3 years after the event

• Contact messages and mailing lists: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them, or until they're no longer needed

• SMS consent records: for as long as you're subscribed, plus the period required to show your consent

7. How We Protect Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. The Site uses encrypted (HTTPS) connections, and payments are handled by PCI-compliant processors. Access to scholarship applications is limited to the small number of team members and volunteers who review them, and they are expected to keep that information confidential. No system is perfectly secure, though, so we can't guarantee absolute security. If we learn of a breach that affects your personal information, we'll notify you as required by law.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 18, please have a parent or guardian contact us before you submit an application, order, or registration. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.

9. Your Choices and Rights

You can:

• Opt out of emails using the "unsubscribe" link in any email

• Opt out of texts by replying STOP

• Give anonymously by asking us not to publish your name

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information by contacting us. We may need to keep some records, such as donation records, to meet legal obligations.

• Withdraw an application at any time

Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under state law, such as the right to know what we've collected, to request deletion, or to opt out of targeted advertising. To make any request, email admin@thelastsave.com. We'll verify your identity before acting on it and respond within the time the law requires. We won't treat you differently for exercising your rights.

10. Other Websites

The Site may link to or embed content from other sites, like Instagram or partner fundraising platforms. Their own privacy policies apply when you use them.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll post the new version here and change the "Last updated" date. If we make significant changes, we'll post a notice on the Site.
