Collection of Personal Information
Depending on how you use this website, La Casa may request personal information from you, such as your name, address, phone number, email and credit card information. Whether you choose to give La Casa this information is completely up to you, but you may not be able to use some of the features on this website without this information.

Collection of Non-Personal Information
We collect some anonymous information about how visitors use this website by setting and accessing cookies on your computer. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer. These cookies track information such as how often visitors visit the website, what pages are viewed, and where visitors go after leaving the website. Cookies can make the web more useful by storing information about your preferences on a particular site, which allows websites to “remember” users across pages of a site and across multiple visits to a site. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user’s computer. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can set your settings to refuse cookies. If you choose to disable a cookie, you may not be able to use certain features of the website.
We automatically store information related to a visitor’s use of this website in our log files, such as the pages you view on the website, your browser type, IP address, operating system, referring URL and the date and time of your visit. We use this type of information to administer the website and to analyze trends. This information is not tied to any of your personal information.
Use and Disclosure of Information
La Casa will not sell, rent or license your personal or non-personal information to anyone for any reason. La Casa may use your personal information to contact you and to send you periodic communications. Any information you provide to La Casa on this website will not be shared by La Casa to third parties unless you have given La Casa permission to do so, except as expressly set forth below.
La Casa may disclose your information if La Casa believes that such action is needed to: (1) comply with the law or the legal process, (2) protect against misuse or unauthorized use or access of this website, or (3) protect the personal safety, property, or rights of any person. Please note that nothing in this Privacy Policy & Terms of Use is intended to limit La Casa’s right to challenge or object to any subpoenas or other legal process or to waive the Domestic Violence Counselor privilege set forth in California Evidence Code Section 1037 et seq. which protects confidential communications with a domestic violence counselor.
If you make an online donation, your personal information will be shared with Qgiv, the company that processes our online donations. Qgiv’s use of your personal information is governed by Qgiv’s privacy policy, which can be found here.
We may also share your information with other companies that perform services for us. These companies may have access to your information as needed to perform their functions, but may not use or disclose your information for other purposes.
