Privacy Policy

Who We Are

The Floyd & Norma Young Foundation (“the Foundation”) operates the website https://fnyf.org. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information gathered through our website.

Information We Collect

The Foundation collects information in two ways: automatically through site analytics tools, and directly through our scholarship application form.

When you visit our site, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager collect anonymized data about your visit — including pages viewed, time on site, and general location — to help us understand how our content is used. This data does not identify you personally. Google Search Console is also used to monitor the site’s search performance.

If you submit a scholarship application through our website, we collect the personal information included in your submission (such as your name, contact details, and application materials). This information is collected solely for the purpose of evaluating scholarship applications and is not used for any other purpose, shared with third parties, or sold.

reCAPTCHA

Our scholarship application form uses Google reCAPTCHA to prevent automated spam submissions. reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information and sends it to Google for analysis. Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies primarily through Google Analytics and Tag Manager to track anonymous site usage. You may disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so will not affect your ability to use the site.

Third-Party Services

We use the following Google services on this site: Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Search Console, and Google reCAPTCHA. Each of these services operates under Google’s Privacy Policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained per Google’s standard data retention settings. Scholarship application data is retained for the duration of the application review cycle and as required for Foundation records.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you have submitted to us by contacting us by following the contact link below.
