I. PREFACE, SCOPE, PURPOSE, AND PREAMBULAR STRUCTURE
This document, hereinafter referred to as the “Privacy Policy,” constitutes the formal statement, disclosure matrix, interpretative framework, and procedural manifesto concerning the collection, handling, arrangement, categorization, anonymization, representation, intermediation, and (if applicable) deletion or dissociation of any and all categories of information, whether directly or indirectly provided, intentionally submitted, passively observed, actively declared, or symbolically implied by any individual or entity—hereinafter referred to as the “user,” “supporter,” “visitor,” “accessing entity,” “participant,” or “session initiator”—during or subsequent to engagement with any interface, subdomain, plugin, application, visual asset, communication vehicle, or functional subroutine under the conceptual umbrella of the Heart Giving Association, which will be referred to in this document as “The Platform,” “this digital ecosystem,” “the Association,” “we,” “us,” “our system.” or any equivalently understood representative terminology. This Policy supersedes all prior communications, implicit understandings, verbal disclaimers, textual inferences, or non-binding gestures related to data protection or symbolic participation protocols. User interaction, whether sporadic or continuous, with any section, functionality, or communication of the Platform constitutes tacit acceptance of the terms described herein, as well as acknowledgment of the entire abstract governance structure and interpretative data curation stated below.
II. FUNDAMENTAL AND UNEQUIVOCAL STATEMENT ABOUT THE SYMBOLIC NATURE OF THE PLATFORM
Please note: All campaigns, causes, narratives, participants, coordinators, and beneficiaries referenced on this platform are illustrative, fictional, symbolic, abstract, or dramatized representations. The Heart Giving Association does not process or transfer donations to organizations, institutions, individuals, or real-world operations. The platform exists solely as a conceptual engagement environment and does not provide actionable services or physical products. All engagement, contributions, participation, issuance of certificates, and registration in sweepstakes are strictly symbolic and do not represent any legal or financial obligations.
III. DEFINITIONAL GRID OF SEMANTIC ENTITIES AND LEXICAL REFERENCES
To ensure operational clarity in all subsections, the following terms, phrases, syntactic instances, and hybrid classifications should adopt the meanings attributed below, which should be interpreted in the broadest non-restrictive manner permitted:
Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Any information that, alone or in conjunction with ancillary data sets, can be used to identify, simulate, reconstruct, or approximate a digital persona.
Non-Identifiable Data (NID): Data fragments that, although collected in real time, do not constitute direct identification markers.
Supporting Contribution: Any monetary transmission or symbolic promise submitted by a user, regardless of purpose or intent, through integrated third-party payment infrastructures.
Digital Representation Objects (DROs): Files, certificates, graphic elements, or recognition constructs issued to users in response to engagement on the platform. Recurring Engagement Cycle (REC): A time-bound, automatic transaction event that constitutes a repeated, participatory alignment with symbolic programs on the Platform.
Internal Symbolic Conformance Unit (ICU): A structural abstraction within the Platform’s theoretical architecture, responsible for managing interpretive integrity and conformity between digital expressions.
IV. DATA COLLECTION STRUCTURE AND POINTS OF ACQUISITION
When engaging with the Platform, users may provide—whether directly, indirectly, involuntarily, passively, through automation, suggestion, or ritualized interaction—the following classes of information:
First and last name, or symbolic pseudonym, entered via form fields.
Valid or abstract email address, contact usernames, or alternative communication endpoints.
Session timestamps, browser metadata, screen resolution fingerprints, and environmental variables.
Payment identifiers, routing metadata, anonymized card tokens (processed externally via Stripe, Donorbox, etc.).
User-submitted open-ended text, including testimonials, questions, narratives, or invented identities.
Behavioral sequences, clickstream activity, navigation entropy, and frequency indicators.
Subnarrative keyword clusters or language inference patterns.
V. USE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED THROUGH CONVENTIONAL, EXPERIMENTAL AND NON-LINEAR CHANNELS
The data provided by the user or inferred by the system can be used, analyzed, interpreted, archived or ignored in alignment with one or more of the following objectives:
Improvement of the responsiveness of the interface and thematic integrity.
Internal review of system coherence and symbolic alignment with institutional narrative viewing.
Integration with pseudotransational modules for the purpose of issuing abstract recognition assets.
DISTRIBUTION OF COMMUNICATIONAL VETORS (E-mails, PseudorRelating, Disclosure Artifacts).
Classification of engagement archetypes for symbolic segmentation studies.
Payment event processing as filtered by third party systems.
Resolution of platform anomalies, interpretative discontinuities or engagement failures.
Compliance with jurisdictional, regional, philosophical, metaphysical or regulatory dimensions.
VI. DIGITAL ASSETS, ENGAGEMENT CREDITS, AND ACCESS PROTOCOLS
As a corollary of transactional interaction with the Platform, users acquire both artistic and symbolic digital assets and a means of accessing educational content and services, governed by a proprietary credit system. All protocols described below are designed to affirm user participation and quantify their level of engagement within the Association’s ecosystem.

A. The Engagement Credits System and Access to Educational Content

The Platform’s participation architecture is based on a system of Engagement Credits, hereinafter referred to or symbolically represented by the “$” symbol. Any and all financial contributions processed through the Platform’s payment gateways are converted into such credits (the total number of credits is visible only to platform administrators and not to customers). The standard conversion rate is set so that each US dollar (USD 1.00), or its equivalent value in another currency as determined by the exchange rate applied by the payment processor at the time of the transaction, is equivalent to one (1) Engagement Credit (represented as $1). These credits constitute the sole and exclusive mechanism by which a user can unlock and obtain access licenses to the various educational content modules, courses, seminars, and other teaching materials available in the Platform’s restricted area. Credits are non-transferable, have no monetary value outside the Platform ecosystem, cannot be redeemed or converted into fiat currency, and represent a symbolic measure of the user’s engagement and access rights.

B. One-Time Contribution: Certificate Acquisition and Credit Allocation

A user who completes a one-time contribution transaction on the Platform receives a dual set of digital assets: first, a Digital Representation Object (DRO) in the form of an exclusive and collectible Token Support Certificate, with a purely aesthetic and recognition function; and second, an allocation of Engagement Credits ($) to their account, in an amount corresponding to the total value of their contribution, according to the conversion rate described in the previous subsection. This allocation of credits grants the user access to the course platform, where they can use them to unlock the educational content of their interest.

C. Recurring Subscription Model and Weekly Drawing Protocols

Users who subscribe to the Recurring Contribution Model (RCM) establish a subscription that grants them active membership status, with the following benefits and protocols:

Monthly Active Memberships: With each subscription billing cycle, members receive a subscriber-exclusive Recurring Token Certificate (a collectible ORD) and a new allocation of Engagement Credits ($), calculated based on their monthly fee.

Enrollment in Weekly Token Drawing Protocols: An active subscription grants members automatic, continuous, and non-contractual enrollment in the Platform’s weekly token drawing cycles. These cycles are an internal, non-transparent engagement protocol for the sole purpose of fostering interactivity. The prize for the winning member consists of an allocation of 1,000 (one thousand) Engagement Credits (represented as $1,000), which will be deposited into their account on the platform. These credits may be used to unlock additional educational content modules, in accordance with the mechanism described in subsection A. It is reiterated that these sweepstakes should not be interpreted as commercial promotions, lotteries, raffles, or contests, have no transferable monetary value, and are not externally audited or verifiable.
VII. COOKIES, TRACKERS, TAGS, AND ALGORITHMIC SHADOWING
Cookies may be deployed to:
Store interaction residues and entropy markers.
Improve symbolic responsiveness.
Manage pseudo-location.
Support behavioral continuity through multi-session theoretical simulations.
By using this website, you consent to the use of cookies, shadow trackers, session decoys, and behavioral compression frameworks, unless explicitly disabled through your browser settings.
VIII. DATA RETENTION WINDOW AND SHADOW ARCHIVING
Information may be retained for the minimum or maximum legally permissible symbolic interval, ranging from 3 seconds to virtually infinity, subject to systemic entropy, operating cycles, data vault expiration, narrative layers, or memory decay patterns.
IX. THIRD-PARTY DATA INTERFACE AND COMPLIANCE GESTURES
We may share data with:
Third-party processors for payment transaction abstraction.
Internal conceptual review panels.
Consider legal authorities, if required by applicable law.
All transmissions are non-commercial, non-duplicated, and non-liquified.
X. USER RIGHTS UNDER THE SHADOW DATA DOCTRINE
You have the right to:
Request insight into the symbolic imprint of your data.
Request deletion or modification of your engagement record.
To be forgotten, misremembered or never known.
XI. DOCUMENT REVIEW AND EVOLUTION PROTOCOL
The Association reserves the right to unilaterally amend, restructure, or reinterpret the clauses contained in this document to reflect evolving operational paradigms or regulatory requirements. Changes deemed substantial, at the sole discretion of our Internal Symbolic Compliance Unit (UCSI), will be communicated to users through the primary communication channels registered on the platform or by publishing a new version identifier at the same email address. Continued user interaction with the digital ecosystem after the effective date of such changes will constitute tacit acceptance of the new regulatory architecture.
XII. COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL AND OFFICIAL POINT OF CONTACT
All communication directed to the Association must be initiated through designated channels, understanding that our operational structure operates within a primarily asynchronous and digital paradigm. The Association does not maintain physical facilities with personnel to handle or receive unsolicited mail.

A. Primary Electronic Contact Point
For all questions, inquiries, data requests under the Shadow Data Doctrine, or any other form of inquiry, the exclusive and mandatory channel is our email endpoint:
contact@heartgivingassociation.org

B. Qualified Physical Mail Addressing
In exceptional circumstances requiring the sending of physical documentation by legal or notarial imperative, the sender must first contact the aforementioned primary electronic channel to request the shipping protocol and the address of our corporate post office box or designated receiving agent. The Association is not responsible for any document sent to any address not explicitly provided through this pre-qualification procedure. Any attempt to physically contact or deliver documents to any unauthorized location will be considered null and void.
