Privacy Policy
At the Glendale Youth Center (GYC), your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information—both online and offline—and outlines your options when it comes to your personal data. GYC is the sole owner of any information collected through our website and will never sell or rent your information to others.
We may update this policy from time to time. A link to the most current version is available on our homepage and throughout our website.
Security Measures
We take your security seriously. All credit card transactions on our site use secure HTTPS connections and high-grade encryption to protect your information. We also follow industry standards to guard your personal data against unauthorized access—both inside and outside our organization.
That said, please note that no system is 100% secure, and online communications may still be intercepted or accessed unlawfully.
Online Donations
When you make a donation through our website, we collect your name, address, email, phone number, and credit card details. This information is used to process your donation, send you a tax receipt, and—if you choose—to add you to our mailing list.
If your donation is in honor or memory of someone, we’ll use the recipient's name and address solely to send an acknowledgment.
Mailing List
You can join our mailing list by filling out an online form or emailing us directly. We collect basic information such as your name, address, email, and phone number, and store it securely.
GYC does not share, sell, or trade your personal information with outside organizations. We also never send emails on behalf of other groups.
To update your information or remove yourself from our list, contact us by mail. For your security, we’ll ask a few questions to verify your identity before making any changes.
Email Communication
You’ll only receive emails from us if you signed up through our website or requested to be added. Every email we send includes a link to unsubscribe at any time.

Our social media pages are a place for community conversation. We ask everyone to be respectful. We do not allow:
Abusive, threatening, or obscene content
Harassment or discrimination
Spam or promotional material
Any other inappropriate behavior
GYC reserves the right to remove such content and block users who violate these guidelines.
