Privacy Policy

Last updated October 12, 2026

Mauka To Makai Makaha Foundation Inc. respects the families, donors and sponsors who trust us. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.

What we collect

  • Parents and guardians: name, email, phone, mailing address, and the parents you invite to your family.
  • Keiki: name, birthdate, age, gender, medical notes, swim and CPR experience, the sessions and days you pick, and the signed waiver.
  • Emergency contacts: the name and phone number you give us.
  • Donors, sponsors and shoppers: name, email, company, phone, shirt sizes, shipping address and payment records. Card details go straight to our payment processor; we never see your full card number.
  • Sign in: if you use Google, Apple or a passkey, we receive only what's needed to sign you in, such as your email.

How we use it

To run the Junior Lifeguard Program and keep keiki safe, confirm registrations, send receipts and reminders, answer questions, thank donors and sponsors, ship orders, and meet our safety, grant and tax reporting duties. Our staff are notified of new registrations, orders and payments so they can follow up.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your information. We share it only with services that help us run the program, such as our payment processor, email delivery and website hosting, and only for that purpose. We may share information with lifeguards or emergency responders if a keiki needs care, or when the law requires it.

SMS and email

If you opt in, we send program updates by email and/or text. We do not sell or share mobile numbers or opt in data with third parties for their marketing purposes. Message content is limited to program updates, reminders and safety alerts. See our SMS Terms.

Saved form entries

Our forms save what you type on your own phone or computer so nothing is lost if you leave the page. This stays on your device and clears once the form is sent. Passwords and card details are never saved this way.

Keiki privacy

Accounts are for adults only. We collect information about children only from their parent or guardian, and only what we need to run the program safely.

Keeping it safe

Your account is protected by sign in, and only you, the parents you invite, and our staff can see your family's details. We keep records as long as needed for the program and our legal duties.

Cookies

We always use what the site needs to work: keeping you signed in, checkout, saving your forms as you type, and remembering your cookie choice. Our fonts come from our own site, and our payment processor's checkout loads only when you open a checkout.

Our website host, Lovable, records page visits for site statistics on every page, whatever you choose in the cookie banner. It uses a short-lived session cookie (about 30 minutes) and records the page address, the address of the page that sent you here, your browser and device type and your approximate country.

To find and fix problems, each page also sends us a short speed and error report. Unless you choose Accept, it has the page address without anything after a "?" or "#", and for each error only its type and a short message with web addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers and long codes removed. It carries no visitor ID from us.

Only if you choose Accept in the cookie banner do we also show our Instagram posts on the home page (they load from Instagram, which can see your visit), and keep a random visitor ID on your device. That ID is added to the speed and error reports, together with your browser type, your connection type (for example 4G), the full error details (the whole message and which of our files and lines it came from), and a coded form of your account ID if you are signed in. If you choose Reject, or make no choice, we do not show the Instagram posts or keep a visitor ID. You can change your choice anytime with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page; choosing Reject deletes the visitor ID. We ask again about every six months.

Your choices

You can update your information, or turn off SMS and email updates, at any time from your profile. Reply STOP to any text to unsubscribe. To delete your account or get a copy of your information, contact us.
