The Reverend Ike Resource Center
Effective Date: October 6, 2026
Introduction
The Reverend Ike Resource Center (“Resource Center,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a nonprofit organization recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and located at 1801 Duke St, Beaufort, SC 29902. Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN): 30-1496601. We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you visit or interact with our website, submit a form, make a donation or purchase, register for an event, subscribe to communications, or otherwise use our services (collectively, the “Services”).
By using the Services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. This policy applies only to information collected by the Resource Center and not to third-party websites or services linked from our Services.
Information We Collect
We may collect information that you provide directly, including your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, account or registration details, donation or purchase information, event participation details, correspondence, and other information you choose to submit.
When you use the Services, we may automatically collect technical and usage information, such as your Internet Protocol address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages viewed, referring website, approximate location derived from an IP address, and dates and times of access. We may collect this information through cookies, pixels, server logs, and similar technologies.
How We Use Information
• Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services;
• Process donations, purchases, registrations, and requested services;
• Respond to questions, requests, and support needs;
• Send administrative notices, receipts, updates, and, where permitted, newsletters or
promotional communications;
• Understand how visitors use the Services and improve content and functionality;
• Protect the security and integrity of our systems and prevent fraud or misuse; and
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements and policies.
How We Share Information
We do not sell or rent personal information. We may disclose information to vendors and service providers that perform functions for us, such as website hosting, payment processing, email delivery, analytics, event administration, and security. These providers may use information only as necessary to provide services to us and as allowed by their agreements and applicable law.
We may also disclose information when required by law or legal process; to protect the rights, safety, or property of the Resource Center, our users, or others; to investigate or prevent fraud, security incidents, or unlawful activity; or in connection with a merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, or similar organizational transaction.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and similar technologies may help us remember preferences, understand use of the Services, measure performance, and improve your experience. You may adjust your browser settings to refuse or limit cookies, although some features may not function properly. Third-party analytics or embedded services may collect information according to their own privacy policies.
Donations, Donor Privacy, and Payments
As a nonprofit organization recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, we may collect donor contact information, contribution amounts, donation history, acknowledgments, tribute or memorial details, and communication preferences to process contributions, provide receipts, maintain records, communicate about our charitable work, and satisfy legal, accounting, and reporting obligations. Contributions may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law; donors should consult their tax advisers regarding their individual circumstances. We do not sell or rent donor information. We may share donor information with service providers that assist with payment processing, recordkeeping, communications, fundraising, or other nonprofit operations, or when disclosure is required by law. Payment information may be collected and processed by a third-party payment processor. We generally receive transaction details and limited payment-related information rather than complete payment-card credentials. The processor’s handling of your information is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.
Email Communications and Opt-Out
You may unsubscribe from promotional email messages by following the unsubscribe instructions in the message or by contacting us at admin@revikeresorcecenter.org. We may continue to send non-marketing communications, such as donation receipts, transaction notices, security alerts, or responses to your requests.
Children’s Privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information without legally valid parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may contact us at admin@revikeresorcecenter.org. Where applicable, we comply with the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and its implementing rule.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No transmission or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a security breach involving protected personal information occurs, we will provide notices as required by applicable law, including South Carolina’s breach-notification requirements.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, maintain appropriate business and tax records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.
Your Privacy Choices and Requests
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided to us. We will consider and respond to requests as required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity. We may retain information when permitted or required for legal, security, recordkeeping, or other legitimate purposes.
South Carolina Law
This policy is intended to reflect laws applicable to the Resource Center’s nonprofit and Section 501(c)(3) operations in South Carolina, including applicable provisions of the South Carolina Code concerning charitable solicitations, notice following a breach of certain personal identifying information, and unfair or deceptive trade practices, together with applicable federal law. South Carolina does not currently provide a California-style general consumer privacy-rights framework applicable to this policy. Nothing in this policy creates rights beyond those provided by applicable law.
Third-Party Links
The Services may contain links to websites or services operated by others. We are not responsible for their privacy, security, content, or practices. Review the privacy policy of each third-party service before providing information.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will post the revised policy through the Services and update the effective date above. Your continued use of the Services after an update constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy to the extent permitted by law.
