1. Our Commitment to Privacy

Operation Blessing ("Operation Blessing," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to respecting the privacy and dignity of individuals who visit our website, communicate with us, or participate in our community outreach activities.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information through OpBless.com and associated communications.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

  • Your name and contact information.
  • Email address and telephone number.
  • Communication preferences and consent choices.
  • Information voluntarily submitted through website forms.
  • Event registration and participation information, when applicable.
  • Technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address, and website activity.

We ask that you avoid submitting medical records, military identification numbers, Social Security numbers, financial account information, or other highly sensitive information through general website forms.

3. How We Use Information

Personal information may be used to:

  • Respond to inquiries and connection requests.
  • Communicate regarding requested outreach or community activities.
  • Coordinate event participation.
  • Provide information about available community resources when appropriate.
  • Send optional updates or promotional communications when authorized.
  • Maintain website security, prevent abuse, and improve website functionality.

4. Text Messages and Communication Consent

If you provide a mobile telephone number and expressly consent to receive text messages, Operation Blessing may contact you regarding the specific communication categories you authorize.

These may include inquiry follow-up, requested communications, event information, or separately authorized promotional and community announcements.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP to unsubscribe from text messages or HELP for assistance.

Consent to promotional communications is optional and is not a condition of receiving available services or assistance.

Mobile opt-in information and consent records are not shared with third parties or affiliates for their independent marketing or promotional purposes. Information may be processed by contracted messaging providers solely to deliver authorized communications.

5. Sensitive Personal Information

We recognize that individuals contacting Operation Blessing may be experiencing difficult personal circumstances.

We encourage visitors to share only information reasonably necessary to begin a conversation.

If sensitive information is voluntarily submitted, we will handle it according to applicable law and our established privacy and security procedures.

Website forms are not intended for emergency communications or submission of detailed medical information.

6. Information Sharing

We do not sell personal information.

Information may be disclosed to authorized personnel and contracted service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our website, manage communications, or respond to requests.

We may also disclose information when required by applicable law, legal process, or when reasonably necessary to address a serious and imminent safety concern, subject to applicable legal requirements.

We do not routinely disclose a person's private circumstances to community organizations solely because they contacted Operation Blessing.

7. Website Technology and Service Providers

Operation Blessing may use website hosting, customer relationship management, communications, analytics, and security service providers.

These providers may process information on our behalf according to their contractual obligations and applicable law.

Cookies or similar technologies may be used for essential website functionality, security, and, where implemented, analytics or other disclosed purposes.

Additional cookie notices and preference controls will be provided when required by applicable law.

8. Data Security

We seek to protect personal information through reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information processed.

No website, electronic communication, or information storage system can guarantee absolute security.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for periods reasonably necessary for legitimate operational purposes, applicable legal obligations, security, and recordkeeping.

Retention periods may vary according to the type of information and purpose for which it was collected.

10. Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, you may request information about personal data we maintain, request correction or deletion, or withdraw applicable communication consent.

Some information may need to be retained to satisfy legal, security, or recordkeeping obligations.

11. Children's Privacy

Our general website contact services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly solicit personal information directly from children under 13 through these services.

If we learn that such information was collected without appropriate authorization, we will take steps required by applicable law.

12. Emergency and Crisis Communications

Operation Blessing's website forms and general communication channels are not emergency response services.

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, or an immediate mental health crisis, please contact the Veterans Crisis Line by calling 988 and pressing 1, or by texting 838255.

If there is immediate danger, call 911.
