Email Communications and Mailchimp

If you subscribe to our newsletter or email communications, we collect your name and email address through Mailchimp, our third-party email service provider. By subscribing, you consent to receive email updates from SSCV, which may include program news, events, and fundraising information.

Mailchimp may use cookies and tracking technologies to measure the performance of email campaigns, including whether emails are opened and links are clicked. For more information, visit Mailchimp’s Privacy Policy at mailchimp.com/legal/privacy.

  • Send newsletters and program updates to subscribers who have opted in
  • Analyze website traffic and user behavior to improve content and user experience
  • Fulfill admissions, enrollment, and donor-related functions

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers acting on our behalf, such as Google (analytics) and Mailchimp (email), solely to provide services to SSCV

Security

We implement reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information collected through the Site. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
