Privacy Policy

Summary (Privacy-First)

Dark Energy Inc is a public-benefit nonprofit organization. We aim to minimize data collection, use personal information only for legitimate operational purposes, and protect information with appropriate safeguards. We do not sell personal information and we do not operate advertising networks on our websites.


This Privacy Policy applies to Dark Energy Inc’s public website and related donation, grant, and communications activities. Separate products, services, or platforms operated by partners or third parties may have their own privacy policies.

  • Visit our website
     
  • Communicate with us
     
  • Request grant or procurement information
     
  • Make a donation to Dark Energy Inc
     

It does not apply to third-party websites, services, or payment processors that you may use to complete a donation or otherwise interact with external platforms.

Information We Collect

We collect information in limited circumstances, including:


Information You Provide

  • Name, email address, organization or agency name
     
  • Message content or inquiries submitted through forms or email
     
  • Materials you voluntarily provide in communications
     

Donation-Related Information

  • Payment details (such as full card numbers) are generally processed by third-party payment processors and are not stored by Dark Energy Inc
     

Technical / Log Data

  • Basic device and connection information (such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps)
     
  • Used for security, troubleshooting, and basic site analytics
     

Documents You Share

  • Grant materials, procurement documents, letters, or attachments you submit
     
  • Processed only as needed to respond to your request
     

Data Minimization
We strive to collect only the information necessary to provide requested information, issue receipts, process requests, meet legal obligations, and protect our systems.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information. We share information only as necessary for operations and compliance, including:


Service Providers

  • Vendors that support website hosting, donation processing, email delivery, form management, or document storage
     
  • Such providers operate under contractual obligations consistent with this Policy
     

Legal & Compliance

  • When required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or security
     

Organizational Changes

  • In the event of a restructuring or similar organizational change, information may be transferred subject to this Privacy Policy
     

Donations

  • Payment processors collect and process payment information under their own privacy policies
     
  • Review those policies before donating

Cookies & Analytics

We may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functionality, security, and basic analytics. Where feasible, we prefer privacy-preserving analytics that do not track users across websites.


You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including legal, accounting, and compliance obligations. Donation receipts and related records may be retained longer as required by law or nonprofit reporting best practices.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we handle, including:

  • Access controls and least-privilege practices
     
  • Encryption in transit where supported
     
  • Security monitoring and abuse prevention
     

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we strive to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
