Power A Family Foundation Inc. ("Power A Family," "we," "us," or "our") is an Oregon nonprofit public benefit corporation (EIN 42-2674868) that connects donors with verified rural Filipino families to fund solar power kits and food support. This Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information across our operations in the United States and the Philippines.
The data controller is Power A Family Foundation Inc., 1152 Picture St, Independence, OR 97351, United States. For data-protection matters — including inquiries under the Philippine Data Privacy Act — contact us at powerafamily@gmail.com.
This Policy applies to information we collect through powerafamily.org and related services, from donors, prospective donors, partner organizations, and families who apply for support ("applicants" or "recipients").

Where the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) applies, we process personal data on the bases of your consent, the performance of services you request, our legitimate interests in operating the organization, and compliance with law. Sensitive personal information is processed only with consent or as otherwise permitted by law.
Where U.S. state privacy laws apply (for example, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended), we process personal information for the business and commercial purposes described in this Policy.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as follows:
We treat recipient information with particular care. A family's contact details — phone, address, Facebook, and email — are stored as administrator-only data and are never displayed publicly or made available through our public interfaces.
Only limited, non-identifying information about an approved family (such as a first name or family descriptor, province, a general description of their situation, and photos or updates the family has agreed to share) may appear publicly, and only for families marked as publicly visible. Exact locations are withheld for safety. Families may decline or withdraw public sharing at any time.
Because we operate in both the United States and the Philippines, personal information may be transferred to and processed in either country and by service providers located elsewhere. We take steps intended to ensure such transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law, including the Philippine Data Privacy Act.
We keep personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described here. Donation and financial records are retained for at least seven years to satisfy IRS and accounting requirements. Applicant data for families that are not selected is retained for two years and then deleted or anonymized.
We use technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, role-based access controls, row-level security on our database, and column-level restrictions that make recipient contact details readable only by authorized administrators. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Subject to applicable law, you may request to access, correct, update, or delete your personal information, object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent. Under the Philippine Data Privacy Act you also have the rights to be informed, to data portability, to file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission, and to damages. Under California law, eligible residents may request access to and deletion of personal information and may opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" — we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising — without discrimination for exercising these rights.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at powerafamily@gmail.com. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
Our website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for the purpose of marketing. Where information about minors within a recipient household is provided for verification purposes, it is handled as administrator-only data with the consent of a parent or guardian.
We use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to run the site and to understand site usage through Vercel Analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some may affect functionality.
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version here and revise the date above. Material changes will be communicated as required by law.
For privacy questions or requests, contact powerafamily@gmail.com or write to Power A Family Foundation Inc., 1152 Picture St, Independence, OR 97351. Individuals in the Philippines may also lodge a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (privacy.gov.ph).
