GivJoy privacy policy

• You can read every page of this site without giving us your name or email address.
• The site counts visits with Vercel Web Analytics, a visitor counter that uses no cookies.
• If you join the launch list, we keep your email address, and your name if you give it, so we can tell you when GivJoy opens to new nonprofits. If you ask to join early, we also keep your organization's name, your role and roughly how much it raises online. We keep it until you ask us to delete it.
• We don't sell your information, and we don't share it for advertising.

GivJoy is a product of Datawake Partners LLC, a California limited liability company doing business as Datawake, in Fullerton, California. In this policy, "we" and "us" mean Datawake. GivJoy was formerly called GiveLink.

Questions and requests go to support@givjoy.io. Datawake Partners LLC, 1950 W Corporate Way PMB 87737, Anaheim, CA 92801

GivJoy itself is in development. This policy covers givjoy.io, including the launch list. The GivJoy product will have its own privacy notice, covering supporter records, payments and Bryn, GivJoy's AI assistant. We will publish it before GivJoy holds any nonprofit's real supporter records or handles a real payment.

We count visits with Vercel Web Analytics, a service of Vercel, the company that hosts this site. It shows us totals, not people: which pages were viewed, the site that linked you here, your approximate country, and your browser, operating system and type of device.

Page addresses can carry extra information. A link to this site might include campaign tags (such as utm_source) or a platform name (such as ?from=zeffy on the launch list), and the visitor counter can record those addresses. We never put your name or email address in a page address.

Vercel says its visitor counter uses no cookies and does not follow you across other websites. To tell one visit from another, it makes a short-lived code from your request and discards it after 24 hours. Vercel describes how its visitor counter handles privacy.

Nothing you type into the launch list is sent to the visitor counter.

Like every website, ours receives some technical information each time your browser asks for a page: your IP address (the internet address of your connection), a description of your browser and device, the page you asked for, the page that linked you here and the time. Vercel, our host, uses this to deliver the site and protect it from attacks, and keeps these records for a limited time. We look at them only to fix problems and stop abuse.

givjoy.io sets no cookies of its own. The visitor counter uses no cookies either.

Your browser remembers a few small things so the site doesn't repeat itself:

• That you joined the launch list. This stays until you clear your browser's data.
• That you closed the "Tell me when it opens" bar. This clears when you close the tab.
• That a short animation already played. This clears when you close the tab.

The names and email address you type are never stored in your browser.

If you follow a link to another site, such as a source we cite, that site's own cookie and privacy rules apply.

Some browsers can send a Do Not Track signal. This site does not follow you over time or across other websites, and it lets no one else do that here, so the signal has nothing to switch off. We do not change how the site works when we receive it.

Global Privacy Control is a browser setting that asks websites not to sell personal information or share it for advertising across websites. We do neither, whether or not your browser sends the signal. We give information to the service providers described below only to run the site.

The launch list isn't open yet. The launch list is how you ask us to email you when GivJoy opens to new nonprofits. It asks for your email address. Then it asks for your first and last name, which you can skip. You can also ask to join early, a small test with a few nonprofits before GivJoy opens. Joining early asks for your name and three questions about your organization. The monthly update you can choose comes from Dustin Cole, who runs Datawake.

• Your email address (required).
• Your first and last name (optional, unless you ask to join early).
• The monthly update box: whether you ticked "Also send me a short monthly update from Dustin." It starts unticked.
• If you ask to join early: your organization's name, your role (for example "Executive director") and roughly how much your organization raises online each year, picked from five ranges that include "Not sure".

• If you ticked the monthly update box: when you saved that choice and the wording shown beside it.
• Whether you have unsubscribed from the monthly update, or from everything.
• The page you joined from, the site that linked you there, and any campaign tags in the page address.
• When you joined, and when you last joined again with the same address.
• If you asked to join early: that you asked, and when.

Joining again with the same address keeps one entry and does not change your earlier choice about the monthly update. It never removes an earlier join-early request, and asking to join early later adds the request to that same entry. Sending your name or the join-early questions again keeps your first answers. To change them, reply to any of our emails. We also keep internal reference numbers, a copy of each email we send you, and a record of each sending attempt, its result and its time.

If you used our earlier sign-up form, Plan your move, we may also hold the name, organization and answers you gave there. We keep that information and delete it on request in the same way as the rest.

• To email you when GivJoy opens to new nonprofits, as we promise when you join.
• To send the confirmation email and, only if you asked for it, the monthly update.
• To review join-early requests. Dustin reads each one himself and gets in touch with the organizations he chooses. Asking to join early doesn't promise you a place.
• To understand which pages and sites bring nonprofits to GivJoy.
• To keep the form free of spam and abuse.

When an email address first joins, Dustin gets an email with your address, whether the monthly update box was ticked, the page it joined from, the site that linked there and any campaign tags. When someone asks to join early, the email is marked as a join-early request and also includes your name, the organization's name, the role and the range picked. A name you add afterwards is not sent to him in a second email. Your information is kept apart from every nonprofit's records in GivJoy, and no nonprofit can see it.

• One confirmation, sent once to each address. It says what to expect. If you asked to join early, it also says your request is in, and that Dustin reviews each request and gets in touch if it's a fit.
• One short note if you ask to join early after you've already joined, saying the same thing about your request.
• The opening announcement, one email when GivJoy opens to new nonprofits.
• A short monthly update from Dustin, only if you ticked the box. At most once a month.

Nothing else is sent automatically, though Dustin may reply to you personally. Every one of these emails includes our postal address and a one-click unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing from the monthly update keeps the opening announcement. Unsubscribe from everything stops both. Our emails are sent through Resend, an email delivery service.

The launch list uses Cloudflare Turnstile, a check that tells people from automated programs, usually without asking you to do anything. To do that, Cloudflare looks at information about your connection and browser, such as your IP address and browser details. Cloudflare says Turnstile does not read what you type into the form. Cloudflare's use of this information is covered by the Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Addendum. The form also limits how often one email address or one network can submit it. To do that it keeps scrambled codes and counts, never the email or internet address itself, and clears out counts more than a day old whenever the form is used.

We keep your launch list information, including any join-early request, until you ask us to delete it. To ask, reply to any of our emails or write to support@givjoy.io. We delete it within 30 days, including the notification emails Dustin received about you and any copies an AI tool or spreadsheet holds for us. Copies in our database's routine backups are removed as those backups expire on their normal schedule.

If you have unsubscribed, we may keep your email address on a do-not-email list after deleting everything else, only so we never email you again.

If you joined the GiveLink waitlist before GiveLink was renamed, we will move only your email address, the name and organization you gave, and the date you signed up to the launch list, so we can send the one email the GiveLink waitlist promised: when GivJoy opens. We will not send you the confirmation email or the monthly update unless you join the launch list yourself.

If you email support@givjoy.io, we receive your email address and whatever your message contains. We use it to answer you and keep it with our correspondence. Ask us and we will delete it.

We use the service providers below to run this site and the launch list. Cloudflare also uses connection and browser information to improve Turnstile's bot detection, as its Turnstile Privacy Addendum explains.

• Vercel hosts the site, keeps its server records and runs the visitor counter.
• Cloudflare runs the Turnstile spam check.
• Resend sends our emails.
• Our database provider stores launch list information.
• Our email provider holds the support mailbox and Dustin's notification emails.
• AI tools that work for us, such as Anthropic's Claude, may help Dustin sort and list launch list information.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it, to protect people's safety or our rights, or as part of a sale or merger of Datawake or GivJoy, in which case this policy keeps applying to the information collected under it.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share it for advertising, and we do not give it to anyone for their own marketing. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information won’t be shared with any third parties.

This website sends no text messages. Its example pages include mobile number fields, but nothing entered there is saved or sent. The example pages at /d/example, /r/example and /opt-in-example show the planned text choices for a made-up nonprofit; nothing typed there is saved or sent.

We use encrypted connections (HTTPS) across the site, and only Dustin and the people who help him run GivJoy can see launch list information. No website is perfectly secure, so we can't promise that information will never be exposed, but we work to protect it and will tell you if a problem affects your information.

This website is meant for adults who work with nonprofits. It is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you think a child has given us information, write to support@givjoy.io and we will delete it.

• Stop our emails with the unsubscribe link in any of them.
• See or correct your launch list information by writing to support@givjoy.io.
• Delete it by replying to any of our emails or writing to us. We delete it within 30 days.

We may ask you to confirm a request from the email address we have, so that nobody else can see or delete your information. We won't treat you differently for making a request.

California residents. Based on its size and what it does with personal information, Datawake is not currently a business that the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) applies to. We still answer the requests above from anyone. We do not sell or share personal information, as California law defines those words, and we do not disclose it to others for their own direct marketing.

We run GivJoy from California, and our service providers handle this information mainly in the United States. If you visit from another country, your information comes to the United States.

When we change this policy, we change the effective date at the top. If a change affects how we use information we already have from you, we will email you before the change applies to it.
