Last Updated: May 16, 2026The U.S.S.V. Harvey Milk / Project Valor Sailing ("we," "us," or "our") operates hmilk-pvs.org (the "Site"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data.

We collect information to provide a better experience on our Site. This includes:

• Voluntary Information: Names, email addresses, phone numbers, and messages you submit via contact forms, membership inquiries, or newsletter sign-ups.
• Donation & Sponsor Data: If you donate or sponsor us, processing is handled securely by third-party processors. We do not store financial or credit card information on our servers.

We use your information solely to:

• Respond to your inquiries and support requests.

• Analyze website traffic to improve user experience.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We only share information with trusted third-party service providers (like email delivery or payment processing systems) strictly necessary to run our operations, or if required by law.

We implement standard security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.

• Draft a Cookie Consent Banner notice for your site.
