1. Introduction
Welcome to LNJ Bridges. We are committed to protecting your privacy and treating your personal information with care, respect, and transparency.
LNJ Bridges was founded in 2025 by the Jenovese family to support adults with special needs and their families through the often-overlooked transition into adulthood. Our mission is grounded in compassion, faith, and the belief that every individual deserves dignity, encouragement, and the opportunity to thrive.
This Privacy Policy explains how LNJ Bridges collects, uses, protects, and shares information when you visit our website, contact us, express interest in our mission, or interact with our online services.
For purposes of this policy, “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to LNJ Bridges. “You” refers to anyone who visits or interacts with our website.

Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information through general website forms or email. In particular, do not submit medical records, Social Security numbers, financial account details, or other confidential information unless we have specifically provided an appropriate and secure method for collecting it.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website or its third-party service providers may use cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function properly, remember preferences, analyze website traffic, and support security.
Depending on the tools enabled on our website, cookies may be used to:

Remember certain website preferences.
Help us understand how visitors use our website.

LNJ Bridges may use the information we collect for legitimate organizational and website-related purposes, including:
Responding to questions, comments, and requests.
Sharing information about our mission, resources, and activities when requested.
Communicating with individuals who express an interest in supporting our work.

5. Donations and Third-Party Payment Services
We believe in making it easy for people to support our mission while respecting their privacy.
If you choose to make a donation through a third-party organization or payment platform, your transaction may be subject to that provider’s own privacy policy, security practices, and terms of service.
Our existing website has directed visitors to the New Horizons Foundation for donations. If that donation arrangement remains in place, the foundation or its designated payment processor may collect and process information needed to complete and administer your donation.
Depending on the donation service, this may include your name, contact information, donation amount, payment information, and transaction details.
LNJ Bridges does not intend to collect or store your complete payment card information directly through its general website contact forms. Any payment information you provide should be submitted through the designated donation provider’s secure payment process.
Please review the privacy policy of the organization or payment provider handling your donation to understand how it collects, uses, and protects your information.
Questions about donation receipts, payment processing, or donor records may need to be directed to the organization that processed your donation.
6. When We Share Information
We respect your privacy and do not sell your personal information.
We may share limited information in the following circumstances:
Service providers: We may share information with trusted providers that help operate our website, deliver communications, maintain security, or provide other necessary services. These providers should receive only the information reasonably needed to perform their functions.
Donation providers: If you make a donation through an outside organization or payment platform, information may be shared with that provider as necessary to process and administer the transaction.
Legal requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or valid legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, safety, property, or the rights and safety of others.
Organizational operations: Information may be shared when necessary to administer our mission and activities, subject to appropriate safeguards and applicable law.
We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
7. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to other websites, including donation platforms, partner organizations, social media services, and other community resources.
These third-party websites operate independently of LNJ Bridges and may have their own privacy policies, cookies, and data collection practices.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of websites that we do not operate. We encourage you to review the applicable privacy policies before providing personal information to any third-party service.
The inclusion of a link does not necessarily imply endorsement of every privacy practice or service offered by that website.
8. How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable steps to protect the information entrusted to us. Depending on the services in use, these measures may include website security tools, access restrictions, software updates, secure connections, and appropriate safeguards provided by our hosting and service providers.
However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security against every possible threat, unauthorized access, or data loss.
We encourage visitors to use caution when sharing sensitive information online.
9. How Long We Retain Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining organizational records, administering donations where applicable, meeting legal obligations, and resolving disputes.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, why it was collected, and any applicable legal or recordkeeping requirements.
When information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, securely dispose of it, or otherwise handle it appropriately, subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping needs.

11. Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended to provide information about LNJ Bridges, our mission, and the resources and support we seek to make available to adults with special needs and their families.
Our general website is not intended to collect personal information directly from children under 13 without the parental consent or other authorization required by applicable law.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online directly from children under 13 without the appropriate authorization when required by law. If we learn that we have collected such information in a manner that violates applicable requirements, we will take appropriate steps to address the situation.

12. Information About Adults with Special Needs
LNJ Bridges recognizes the importance of protecting the dignity and privacy of adults with special needs and their families.
Please do not submit medical records, diagnoses, disability documentation, or other sensitive personal information through general website forms unless we have specifically requested the information through an appropriate and secure process.
Information submitted through our website may be handled by website hosting providers, form services, or other technology providers as necessary to deliver the relevant service.
We strive to treat inquiries with care and respect. However, submitting information through a general website contact form or email should not be considered a guarantee of confidential medical or health-information handling.
If you need to share sensitive information with us, please contact us first to determine an appropriate method of communication.
13. External Hosting and Website Technologies
Our website may rely on third-party services to provide hosting, website functionality, security, forms, analytics, embedded content, or other technical features.
These services may process certain technical or personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies and contractual obligations.
As our website evolves, the specific services in use may change. We encourage visitors to review this policy periodically for updates about our information practices.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, organizational activities, technology, or applicable legal requirements.
When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. If a change requires additional notice under applicable law, we will provide that notice as appropriate.
Your continued use of our website after an updated policy is posted indicates that you have had the opportunity to review the revised policy. It does not override any consent or other rights required by law.
