Effective November 9, 2026

Privacy Policy

Gleea, PBC (“Gleea,” “we”) runs gleeahq.com, including the World Kindness Day pledge at gleeahq.com/kindnessday. We collect as little as we can, we never sell what we collect, and we never store family names unless a grown-up chooses to share their pledge image.

What we collect

When you take the kindness pledge

• The age group you chose and the acts you picked.
• Your state, or that you’re outside the US, only if you choose one.
• The words of any act you write yourself. Before we save them, we remove email addresses, links, phone numbers and words that look like names. Unkind words are never saved.
• The date and time of the pledge.

The family or first name you type stays on your device. It is used to make your pledge card and image in your browser and is not sent to us, unless you are an adult who chooses to share your pledge image (below).

Optional extras for adults

When you pledge in the adult age group, you may also:

• Add your email address. We add it to the campaign list (see below) and may write if we have a question about your pledge image.
• Give Gleea permission to share your pledge image, including the name on it, on gleeahq.com and Gleea’s social media. We then store a copy of the image, the date, your email if you gave one, and which version of the permission wording you agreed to.

Both are optional and require confirming you are 18 or older.

When you join the campaign

• Your email address, the date you signed up, and that you signed up on the World Kindness Day page.
• You must confirm you are 18 or older to sign up.

To prevent abuse

To limit spam, we count how many pledges and sign-ups come from one network each hour. We do this with a scrambled code made from your network (IP) address. We do not store the address itself.

Pledges collected in person

When people pledge on paper at Gleea events, we add only totals to the site: the place, the age group and how many people picked each act. No names.

How we use it

• To show public totals and the kindness map. These show only counts by state, never anything about one person.
• To learn which acts people choose, so we can improve Gleea’s kindness programs.
• To send campaign updates to people who joined, and to ask about a shared pledge image. We do not use your email for anything else.
• To share pledge images, only from adults who gave permission.

We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Stored on your device

The pledge page saves a few things in your browser’s storage: your pledge card (including the name you typed), when you last pledged, and whether you have already seen the World Kindness Day pop-up. This stays on your device; clearing your browser data removes it. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Services we use

• Netlify hosts the site and stores pledge data and campaign emails for us. As part of running the site, Netlify may process technical information such as IP addresses. See Netlify’s privacy policy.
• Google Fonts serves the site’s fonts, so your browser connects to Google when a page loads. See Google’s privacy policy.
• The share buttons are plain links. Nothing is sent to Facebook, LinkedIn or X unless you choose to post.

Children

The pledge is for every age, including young children with a grown-up. We do not ask children for names, emails or other contact details. Email and image sharing are offered only in the adult age group, to people who confirm they are 18 or older. Only people 18 or older may join the campaign email list. If you believe a child has shared personal information with us, email us and we will delete it.

How long we keep it

• Pledge counts and acts are kept as records of the campaign.
• Campaign emails are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.
• Shared pledge images are kept until you ask us to stop sharing and delete them. We will stop using the image in new posts; posts already made may stay up unless you ask us to remove them.

Your choices

• To unsubscribe from campaign emails, use the link in any email or write to us.
• To take back permission to share your pledge image, write to us with the email you used or the name on the image.
• To ask what we hold about you, or to have it corrected or deleted, write to us. Pledges are not linked to a name or email, so we may not be able to find one specific pledge.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update it here and change the date at the top.
