Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 4, 2026
CJ Financial Empowerment Foundation ("the Foundation," "we," "us") is a community initiative founded by Carlo "CJ" Joseph. This policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
When you submit our contact form, we collect the information you choose to give us:
- Your first and last name
- Your phone number and email address
- The message you write about how we can help
Like most websites, we may also receive basic technical information such as your browser type, device, and the pages you visit.
Information we ask you not to send
Please do not include Social Security numbers, medical records, government ID numbers, or financial account details in the form or in any message. This website does not accept document uploads or applications. If we ever need sensitive information, we will tell you the safest way to share it.
How we use your information
- To respond to your inquiry and follow up about your request
- To tell you about resources, programs, volunteer opportunities, or partnerships you asked about
- To keep our records and improve how we serve the community
Calls, text messages, and email
If you give us your phone number and agree to be contacted, we may call or text you about your request. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP at any time to stop text messages, or HELP for help. You can also unsubscribe from emails using the link in any message. Consent to be contacted is not a condition of receiving help from us.
We do not sell your mobile phone number or text messaging consent, and we do not share it with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with service providers that help us run our website, store contact records, and send messages on our behalf, and only as needed for those purposes. We may also share information if required by law or to protect the safety of others. If we refer you to a partner organization, we will only share your information with that organization when it is needed to help you.
How long we keep it
We keep your information for as long as needed to respond to you and maintain our records, unless the law requires us to keep it longer. You can ask us to delete it at any time.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect the information you share with us. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, which is why we ask you not to send sensitive personal or financial details through this site.
Your choices
You may ask to see, correct, or delete the information we hold about you, or ask us to stop contacting you, by calling us at (754) 235-7850.
Children
This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
