Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 3, 2026

This policy explains what information the East Cooper Home Store collects when you use this website, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it plain and short — if anything is unclear, please reach out.

Who we are

The East Cooper Home Store is a donation center and resale store operated as an affiliate of East Cooper Habitat for Humanity, located at 469C Long Point Road, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464. In this policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the East Cooper Home Store.

Information we collect

We only collect the information you choose to give us through the forms on this site:

  • Pickup requests: your name, phone number, email address, pickup address, and a description of the items you’d like to donate.
  • Contact messages: your name, email address, and your message.
  • Volunteer sign-ups: your name, email address, and (optionally) your phone number, availability, and areas of interest.

Like most websites, our hosting provider also records limited technical information (such as IP address and browser type) in standard server logs to keep the site secure and working. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking. See our Cookie Policy for details.

How we use your information

We use the information you submit only to:

  • schedule and coordinate your free donation pickup;
  • respond to your questions and messages;
  • follow up with volunteers about opportunities to help.

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

How your information is handled and shared

Form submissions are delivered to our staff by email so we can act on your request. To run this website, we rely on a few trusted service providers who process data on our behalf:

  • Resend — delivers form submissions to our staff inboxes by email.
  • Netlify — hosts the website and processes requests to it.
  • Google Maps — powers the embedded map on our contact page.

We may also share information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and property of the Home Store, our staff, or the public.

How long we keep it

We keep your information only as long as needed to handle your request and maintain reasonable records of our operations, after which it is deleted or archived. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you’ve shared with us. To make a request, email hello@eastcooperhomestore.com or use our contact form. Because we send only transactional replies about your request, there are no marketing emails to unsubscribe from.

Children’s privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the “last updated” date above. Significant changes will be reflected on this page.
