Information Collection, Use, and Sharing. We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.
We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to ship an order.
Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.
Your Access to and Control Over Information. You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number given on our website:
- See what data we have about you, if any.
- Change/correct any data we have about you.

Security. We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page. Credit card information is not retained.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
Updates. Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time and all updates will be posted on this page.
Gift Policy. All donations to Dare2Hope support the our mission of providing year-round activities aimed at helping women and children of domestic violence in communities throughout Orange County and Greater Los Angeles areas.
Dare2Hope manages a number of fundraising initiatives with local Programs to make every donated dollar go further for women and children of domestic violence. We will carefully consider the needs of the organization and will use your gift where we determine it is most needed, so that all donations may directly and indirectly support activities that help women and children of domestic violence. When processing each gift, we will follow the Donor’s Bill of Rights, and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles standards.
Dare2Hope will not accept any restrictions on use of donations less than $10,000; however, if you specifically request at the time of donation that funds be distributed to an accredited Program we will honor such request so long as distribution does not conflict with other Dare2Hope policies. If Dare2Hope cannot honor a donor’s designation request for a gift of $10,000 or more, the gift will be forwarded to the appropriate local Program or returned to the donor. Third parties to a donation may not change the original designation of a gift. Dare2Hope may refuse any gift that does not sufficiently benefit the organization, is in conflict with our mission, puts the reputation of Dare2Hope at risk or is prohibited by law.
Thank you for supporting Dare2Hope!
Refund Policy. If you have made an error in making your donation or change your mind about contributing to Dare2Hope, we will honor your request for a refund made within 15 days of your donation.
To request a refund, email: ContactUs@dare2hope.org. Refunds are returned using the original method of payment and will be returned within 30 days of approved request.
Refunds are available for 15 days after a donation is processed.
