Privacy Policy

GovernmentiPhone.org (“we”, “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

You provide directly: your name and email address if you contact us via the contact form. We use these only to respond to your message.

Collected automatically: standard analytics data such as pages visited, device type, browser, and approximate location — used to understand readership and improve content. We do not collect Social Security numbers, application documents, or account passwords. Never submit those to us.

2. Cookies

We use cookies to remember preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, though some features (like saved tool progress) may not persist.

3. Advertising

This site is supported by display advertising. Our advertising partners (such as Google AdSense, when enabled) may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google’s Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

4. Third-Party Links

We link to official program sites (lifelinesupport.org, californialifeline.com, provider websites). Their privacy practices are their own — review their policies before submitting personal information there.

5. How We Use Information

• Responding to contact-form messages
• Improving site content and performance
• Displaying relevant advertising
• Complying with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information.

6. Your Rights (Including California)

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what data we hold about you, request deletion, or opt out of certain data uses. California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA. To exercise any right, contact us — we’ll respond within 45 days.

7. Data Security & Children

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information you share. This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be noted here with a new “last updated” date.
