Effective Date: September 1, 2026

The National Black Police Association (“NBPA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when visiting our websites, communicating with our organization, becoming a member, making a donation, registering for an event, or participating in our programs and activities.

This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we may collect, how we may use and protect that information, and the choices available to you regarding your personal information.

By using nationalbpa.org, blackpolice.org, or other online services operated by the National Black Police Association, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including when you:

Depending on your interaction with NBPA, information collected may include:

We ask users to provide only the information reasonably necessary for the applicable activity or service.

When you make a donation, pay membership dues, register for an event, purchase an item, or complete another financial transaction, payment processing may be handled by a third-party payment processor.

NBPA may receive certain transaction information, such as your name, contact information, transaction amount, payment status, and transaction date.

Credit card numbers and other sensitive payment credentials may be collected and processed directly by the applicable payment provider rather than stored by NBPA.

Third-party payment processors maintain their own privacy and security practices, and users are encouraged to review those policies when completing transactions.

When you visit an NBPA website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the website, hosting provider, analytics service, or other technology providers.

This information may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address
• Browser type
• Device type
• Operating system
• Pages visited
• Referring website
• Approximate geographic location
• Date and time of visits
• Time spent on particular pages
• Website interactions
• Other standard website usage information

This information may be used to operate the website, understand how visitors use it, improve performance, maintain security, and improve the user experience.

NBPA's websites and third-party service providers may use cookies, pixels, analytics technologies, or similar tools.

Cookies are small data files that may be stored on your computer or device when you visit a website.

These technologies may be used to:

• Remember website preferences.

• Analyze website performance.
• Improve website functionality.
• Maintain website security.
• Determine which pages and content visitors find useful.
• Support embedded or third-party website features.

You may be able to control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the operation or functionality of portions of the website.

The National Black Police Association may use information collected through its websites and organizational activities to:

NBPA does not use personal information for purposes materially unrelated to the reason it was collected without an appropriate basis or authorization.

If you provide NBPA with your email address, you may receive communications concerning:

• Membership
• Chapter activities
• Conferences and events
• Training opportunities
• Community programs
• Organizational announcements
• Newsletters
• Fundraising or donation opportunities
• Other NBPA-related activities

You may request to stop receiving nonessential promotional or marketing emails by using an unsubscribe option provided in the communication, when available, or by contacting NBPA.

Certain administrative communications relating to an active membership, transaction, registration, or other relationship with NBPA may still be sent when necessary.

If NBPA offers text-message communications and you voluntarily provide your mobile telephone number and consent to receive such messages, NBPA may send communications consistent with that consent.

Message and data rates may apply depending on your wireless provider and service plan.

Where applicable, users may opt out of text communications by following the instructions included in the messages.

NBPA will not require consent to receive promotional text messages as a condition of making a donation or purchasing a service unless otherwise permitted by applicable law.

NBPA does not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of selling personal information for monetary compensation.

We may share information with trusted service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the organization or provide requested services.

These providers may include:

• Website hosting providers
• Domain and technology providers
• Email and newsletter platforms
• Payment processors
• Event registration services
• Membership management systems
• Website analytics providers
• Professional advisers
• Contractors or vendors assisting NBPA with its operations

These providers may receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform their services and are subject to their own contractual, legal, and privacy obligations.

Where appropriate, information may be shared with an authorized NBPA chapter, regional organization, officer, representative, or committee when necessary for membership administration, event participation, organizational activities, or other legitimate NBPA purposes.

NBPA chapters may maintain their own records, websites, services, or communications and may be responsible for their own privacy practices.

NBPA may disclose personal information when it reasonably believes disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law or legal process.
• Respond to a lawful governmental or regulatory request.
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of NBPA.
• Protect our members, website visitors, volunteers, employees, or the public.
• Investigate suspected fraud, misuse, security incidents, or violations of organizational policies.
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.
• 
  

NBPA's websites may contain links to third-party websites, including social media platforms, sponsors, partners, government agencies, payment providers, event services, and other organizations.

NBPA is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of websites that it does not control.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party websites before providing personal information.

NBPA may maintain accounts or pages on social media platforms.

When you interact with NBPA through a social media platform, the platform may collect and process information according to its own privacy policy and terms.

Information you choose to post publicly on social media may be visible to other users and should not be considered private.

NBPA may photograph, record, or otherwise document certain conferences, meetings, community activities, ceremonies, and public events.

Photographs and recordings may be used for organizational, historical, educational, promotional, social media, or communications purposes when permitted by applicable law and any applicable event notices or releases.

If you have a concern about a photograph or recording appearing on an NBPA-controlled website or social media account, you may contact NBPA to request review.

NBPA takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, internet transmission, email system, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should exercise appropriate caution when transmitting sensitive information electronically.

NBPA may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected and to satisfy legitimate organizational, legal, accounting, tax, reporting, membership, and recordkeeping requirements.

Information that is no longer reasonably required may be deleted, anonymized, or retained where permitted or required by law.

NBPA's websites are primarily intended for a general adult audience and are not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without appropriate authorization.

If a parent or legal guardian believes that a child has provided personal information to NBPA without appropriate consent, the parent or guardian may contact us to request review and, where appropriate, deletion of the information.

Certain NBPA youth, community, or educational programs may involve minors. When appropriate, separate registration procedures, parental or guardian consent, releases, or privacy notices may apply to those programs.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.

You may contact NBPA to request that we:

• Update or correct inaccurate contact information.
• Remove you from certain mailing lists.
• Review certain personal information associated with you.
• Delete certain personal information where appropriate and legally permitted.
• Address a concern about how your information is being used.

Certain information may need to be retained for legal, financial, tax, membership, organizational, fraud-prevention, or recordkeeping purposes.

NBPA will respond to appropriate privacy requests consistent with applicable law.

Some web browsers and devices provide privacy controls, including “Do Not Track” signals or other preference mechanisms.

Because standards and technologies relating to these signals continue to evolve, the manner in which NBPA's website or its service providers respond may vary.

Users may also use browser settings and available device controls to manage cookies and certain tracking technologies.

NBPA is based in the United States.

If you access our websites from outside the United States, information you provide may be processed or stored in the United States or other locations where NBPA or its service providers operate.

Privacy and data-protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from the laws in your location.

The National Black Police Association may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our websites, programs, organizational practices, technology, service providers, or applicable legal requirements.

When changes are made, the revised Privacy Policy will be posted on the website with an updated effective or revision date.

We encourage users to periodically review this Privacy Policy.
