A note about health-related information
Because our community is made up of adults living with Type 1 Diabetes, some information you share with us may relate to your health, or may allow someone to infer a health condition. For example, registering for a Type 1 Diabetes community event or joining a related mailing list may suggest that you or someone close to you lives with the condition.
We do not require you to disclose any medical information to donate, attend events, or receive our updates. We collect health-related information only if you choose to provide it, and we treat it with heightened care as described in Section 5.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
• Process and acknowledge donations, and provide receipts and year-end tax statements
• Register you for events and send reminders, updates, and follow-ups
• Send newsletters, announcements, and fundraising appeals (you can opt out at any time)
• Respond to your questions and requests
• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our programs
• Understand how people use the Site and engage with our community
• Keep records, meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations, and comply with charitable solicitation laws

4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not rent or trade our donor, member, or email lists.
We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
• Service providers: companies that help us operate, such as payment processors, email and newsletter platforms, event registration tools, website hosting, analytics providers, and donor management software. They may use your information only to perform services for us and are required to protect it.
• Legal and regulatory reasons: when required by law, subpoena, or government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Life Out of Range, our community, or others. This includes filings required of charitable organizations.
• Organizational changes: if Life Out of Range merges with, transfers assets to, or is succeeded by another organization, your information may be transferred, subject to this policy's protections.
• With your consent: for example, if you agree to be publicly recognized as a donor or to have your photo or story shared.
Public recognition. If you give us permission to list your name as a donor or sponsor, it may appear on the Site, in event materials, or in our reports. You may choose to donate anonymously, and you may ask us to remove your name at any time.
Events and photography. We may photograph or record our events and use those images to promote our work. We will post notice at events and on registration pages. If you prefer not to be photographed, please tell event staff, and we will make reasonable efforts to respect your request.
5. Health-Related Information
We handle any health-related information with additional care:

• We use it only to provide the service you requested, such as accommodating a dietary or accessibility need at an event.
• We do not sell it, and we do not share it for advertising purposes.
• We limit access to staff and volunteers who need it to run our programs, and we ask them to keep it confidential.
