Privacy Policy
What this site collects, what it does not, and who to ask.
Last updated 9 November 2026
What is written below is accurate about how this website behaves today. The full policy, covering the services Amir Institute provides offline as well, is in preparation. If you have a question in the meantime, call (919) 237-3380 or email admin@amirinstitute.org and a person will answer you.
What this website collects
This site does not use advertising trackers, and it does not build a profile of you. The interactive activities on the Programs page run entirely in your browser: nothing you tap, type or choose there is sent anywhere. No account is needed to use any part of this site.
What is stored on your device
Two things, both kept in your own browser and never sent to us:
- Your display settings. If you change the text size, contrast or any other option in Display settings, your choices are saved so the site looks the same next time. Clearing them is one button in that same panel, or clearing your browser data.
- Your cookie choice. So we do not ask again every time you visit. It lasts twelve months, and Cookie settings at the bottom of any page reopens it.
Neither is a tracking cookie and neither identifies you. We hold no analytics at present: nothing counts your visits, and if that ever changes it will be behind the Analytics choice in Cookie settings, off unless you turn it on.
Third parties
Two, and only two. Type on this site is loaded from Google Fonts, which means Google sees the request your browser makes for it. Forms are delivered by Web3Forms, which passes your message to our inbox. Nothing else on the page comes from anywhere but our own server.
When you contact us
If you fill in a form or email us, we receive what you chose to send and use it only to reply and to help with what you asked about. We do not sell it, trade it or pass it to anyone outside Amir Institute except where the law requires it.
If you are contacting us about your safety
You do not need to give us details to ask for help. Write only what you are comfortable writing, or call instead. Conversations about domestic violence are treated as confidential. The Leave this site button in the corner of every page sends you to a neutral page without leaving this site in your browser history — though it cannot clear history from before you pressed it.
Children
This site is written for parents and carers. We do not knowingly collect information from children through it.
Donations
Donations are handled on Zeffy, not on this site. Payment details go to Zeffy and are covered by Zeffy’s own privacy policy; we never see your card number.
Asking what we hold
You can ask what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email admin@amirinstitute.org.
