What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Information you provide to us directly: We may collect personal information such as your first and last name, phone number, postal code, billing information, and e-mail address when you sign up for our mailing list, volunteer with us or make a donation.

You should always review, and if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting them to the MJSF website.
We use this information to operate, maintain, and enhance our organization and our services. We may use this information to communicate with you, such as to send you email messages, newsletters, and to follow up with you to offer information about MJSF. We may also send you service-related emails or messages (e.g., account verification, transactional communications, change or updates to features of the service, technical, and security notices).
