What connectnpo.com collects, why, who else touches it, and how to have it corrected or deleted. Written to be read, not to be scrolled past.

Last updated 17 September 2026 · Daybooks Web Solutions, LLC, doing business as connectNPO

The short version

  • We collect what you type into our forms and emails, and ordinary visit statistics. Nothing else.
  • We use it to reply to you and to run the website. We do not sell it, and we do not use it for advertising.
  • You can ask us what we hold about you, and have it corrected or deleted, by writing to [email protected].

Who we are

connectNPO is a business name of Daybooks Web Solutions, LLC, a California limited liability company based in Los Angeles, California. In this policy "connectNPO", "we" and "us" mean that company. GivingArc is another business name of the same company.

For anything about this policy or your information, write to [email protected].

What this policy covers

This policy covers connectnpo.com and the sample websites we publish on its subdomains (addresses ending in .connectnpo.com), and the emails you exchange with us.

It does not cover nporesources.com, which we also run and which has its own notices, or givingarc.com. It also does not cover the websites we build for clients: those belong to the client, and the client's own privacy policy applies to their visitors.

What we collect

What you send us

When you use the contact form or one of the two application forms on the Pricing page, we receive what you type: your name, your organization, your email address, a phone number, your website address, and your message. The application forms also ask about the organization itself, for example its EIN, who controls its domain, which donation processor it uses, the programs it runs and who prepares its financial statements.

When you email us, we receive your address and whatever you write or attach.

What is recorded automatically

  • Visit statistics. We use Google Analytics and a statistics tool that runs on our own server (Burst Statistics) to see which pages are read, roughly where visitors come from, and what kind of device they use. Google Analytics sets cookies to tell one visit from another.
  • Server and security logs. Our hosting provider and Cloudflare, which sits in front of the site to protect and speed it up, record technical details of each request, such as IP address, browser type and time.
  • Fonts. The site loads its typeface from Google Fonts, so your browser makes a request to Google when a page loads.

What we do not collect

  • No payment card details. Nothing is sold or paid for on this website.
  • No account, password or login for visitors.
  • Nothing we would call sensitive: we do not ask for health, financial-account or government-ID information about any person. Please do not send us donor lists or other people's personal details through the forms.

The sample websites

The sample sites show invented organizations. Their enrolment, sign-up, referral and giving forms are demonstrations: they send nothing and store nothing, whatever you type into them.

If you press "Open the staff preview", the sample site signs your browser in to a read-only demonstration account. That sets a sign-in cookie which expires after about two hours or when you leave the preview. Nothing you change there is saved.

How we use it

  • To read what you sent and reply in writing.
  • To prepare a proposal, and to do the work if you become a client.
  • To keep a record of the conversation, so that we do not ask you the same thing twice.
  • To keep the website working and secure, and to understand which pages are useful.
  • To meet legal obligations, such as tax and bookkeeping records for clients.

We do not use your information for advertising, we do not build profiles, and we do not add you to a mailing list because you filled in a form.

Who else handles it

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. It passes through the services we rely on to run the business, each acting on our instructions:

  • Google WorkspaceOur email. Form submissions are sent to our inbox, and our replies come from it.
  • Our web hostStores the website and its database, including stored form submissions.
  • CloudflareSecurity and content delivery in front of the website.
  • Google AnalyticsVisit statistics, as described above.
  • Google FontsDelivers the typeface.

connectNPO and GivingArc are names of the same company. A message sent to connectNPO is handled by connectNPO; we pass it to GivingArc only if you ask us to.

We may disclose information if the law requires it, or if the business is sold or reorganized, in which case this policy continues to apply to what was already collected.

Cookies

The website sets a small number of cookies:

  • Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_…)Distinguishes one visitor from another for statistics. Set by us, read by Google Analytics. Up to two years.
  • Site builder (breakdance_…, PHPSESSID)Counts page views in a session so the site's own features work. No personal details. Session-length.
  • Burst Statistics (burst_uid)May be set by our own statistics tool to avoid counting one visitor twice. Stays on our server.
  • Cloudflare (__cf_bm and similar)Tells real visitors from automated traffic. Short-lived.
  • Staff preview sign-inOnly on a sample site, only if you open the staff preview. About two hours.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site will still work. To opt out of Google Analytics on every website, Google offers a browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

How long we keep it

  • Form submissions and emails: for as long as the conversation or the client relationship lasts, and afterwards only as long as we need a record of it. Ask us to delete yours at any time.
  • The website's own log of emails it has sent: 14 days, then deleted automatically.
  • Client records we must keep for tax or legal reasons: for the period the law requires.

Your choices and rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

  • tell you what personal information we hold about you, and give you a copy;
  • correct it;
  • delete it;
  • stop using it for a particular purpose.

Write to [email protected] from the address the request is about. We answer within 30 days, we do not charge for it, and we will not treat you differently for asking.

California residents: the rights above include those in the California Consumer Privacy Act. We do not sell or share personal information as that law defines those words.

Visitors in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Canada or Australia: we handle your information because you asked us to do something (answer an inquiry, prepare a proposal), because we have a legitimate interest in running and securing our website, or because the law requires it. Our company and the services listed above are in the United States, so your information is processed there. You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

Children

This website is written for people who run nonprofits. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, write to us and we will delete it.

Security

The website is served over an encrypted connection, access to its administration is limited to us, and form submissions are kept in the website's database and our email rather than in shared documents. No system is perfectly secure; if something happens that affects your information, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.

When we work on a client's website

When we build or run a website for a nonprofit, we may handle information about that nonprofit's own donors, families or volunteers. We do that only on the client's instructions and under our written agreement with them. That information belongs to the client; questions about it should go to the organization concerned.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle information, we will change this page and the date at the top. If the change is significant, we will say so on the website. This version is dated 17 September 2026.
