These providers are contractually required to maintain strict confidentiality and may only use your information for the specific purpose of providing services to Not For Sale.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality, analyze traffic, and personalize your experience.
5.1 Types of Cookies We Use

You have the right to withdraw consent at any time, lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, and exercise all rights described in Section 9 above.
12. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, services, or platforms — including donation processors, social media channels, and partner organizations. Not For Sale does not control and is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or security of third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information. The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement by Not For Sale.
13. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. Not For Sale does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
