Verification of Data

To the extent permitted by law, we may need to verify the information you provide (e.g., identity, eligibility, volunteer history). Verification may be done via third-party services bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.

ReCAPTCHA

To protect our web forms from abuse, we use CAPTCHA verification provided by Google. You may be asked to complete a task to confirm you're not a bot. This process may involve sending technical data (e.g., IP address, mouse activity) to Google.

This protection mechanism helps us maintain the integrity of our forms. Google may collect information as part of this verification, which is subject to their own privacy practices.

We use this feature based on our legitimate interest in preventing spam and abuse. If data is processed outside the EU, Google’s certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework ensures adequate protection.

If you prefer not to use our online forms, you may contact us by phone or email.
