Last Updated: 07/20/2026

Rotaplast International, Inc. (“Rotaplast,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the rights you have regarding your information. It applies to our website at rotaplast.org, our donation processing, volunteer applications, and our email and newsletter communications, and our text messaging (SMS) service.

Rotaplast International, Inc. is located at 50 S. Linden Ave #8, South San Francisco, CA 94080.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

– Donor information: your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, and payment information provided when you make a donation.
– Volunteer application information: your contact information and any professional or medical credentials, background, or other details you provide when applying to volunteer with us.
– Newsletter and email sign-up information: your name and email address when you subscribe to our communications.
– Form submissions: information you provide through contact forms, grant applications, event registrations, and similar forms on our website.

We also automatically collect certain information when you visit our website, including through cookies and analytics tools (see “Cookies and Analytics” below).

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information we collect to:

– Process donations and send receipts and acknowledgments.
– Review and respond to volunteer applications and coordinate volunteer activities.
– Send newsletters, updates, and other communications you have requested.
– Respond to your inquiries and provide support.
– Operate, maintain, and improve our website and programs.
– Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We keep the information we collect for our private use and do not sell it. We do not share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We share information only in the following circumstances:

– Service providers: We share information with vendors who help us operate, such as our payment processor (PayPal) for donations, our email and newsletter provider, and our website and analytics providers. These providers may only use the information to perform services on our behalf.
– With your consent: If you have opted in to have your information shared for a specific purpose, we will share it consistent with that consent.
– Legal requirements: We may disclose information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation, or governmental request, to avoid liability, or to protect our rights or property.

PAYMENT PROCESSING

Donations are processed through PayPal. When you make a donation, your payment information is provided to and handled by PayPal in accordance with its own privacy policy. We do not store your full payment card details on our systems.

DONOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ANONYMITY

We may acknowledge donors by name and/or description of donation in materials such as annual reports, our website, or other means of expressing appreciation for a donor’s support, unless the donor has requested anonymity. We honor all requests for anonymity.

Each donation is treated individually, so that multiple donations from a single donor receive the same consideration as a first donation. If a donor chooses to opt out of acknowledgment listings, the donor’s name and address will be made available only to Rotaplast members and staff responsible for managing the organization’s database. A printed copy of this policy is available to donors upon request.

COOKIES AND ANALYTICS

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use our site and to improve it. These tools may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; however, some parts of our website may not function properly without them.

TEXT MESSAGING (SMS)

If you communicate with us by text message, we collect your mobile phone number and the content of the messages you send to us, and we may retain records of our text message correspondence with you. We use this information only to transmit your mobile messages and to respond to you.

We share information as necessary to deliver messages, including with platform providers, phone companies, and other vendors who assist us in the delivery of mobile messages. Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.

You may stop receiving text messages from us at any time by replying STOP, QUIT, END, REVOKE, OPT OUT, CANCEL, or UNSUBSCRIBE to any message. Because this is a person-to-person communication service, opt-out requests are specific to each conversation between you and one of our employees and their associated phone number.

DATA RETENTION

We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
