Privacy Policy for Echo Hill

Last Updated: June 2026

  1. Introduction & Data Ownership

Echo Hill (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the privacy of our camp families, supporters, and website visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our public website, fill out forms, register for programs, or make charitable donations. For the purposes of the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), Echo Hill is the data controller and owner of the information collected.

  1. Information Collected Directly on Our Website (Contact Forms)

When you use the “Contact Us” form on our website to make a cold inquiry, we collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, which may include your name, email address, phone number, and any details you write in your message.

  • How We Use It: We use this data strictly to respond to your inquiries, provide information about our camp programs, and follow up on your requests.
  • Data Retention & Security: This information is sent securely to our administrative email and is stored only as long as necessary to assist you. We protect this data using industry-standard security measures and never share or sell your contact information to third-party marketers.
  1. Third-Party Registration Portal (CampSite)

To ensure the highest level of security for your family’s sensitive data, we do not store, process, or collect camper medical records or official registration forms directly on our primary website server. All camper registrations and profiles are managed securely via our third-party camp management provider, CampSite. When you click to register or log into your parent portal, you are interacting with CampSite’s secure infrastructure. You can review how they protect data by visiting the official CampSite Security and Data Safety Page.

  1. Online Donations & Financial Transactions (PayPal)

We accept charitable contributions on our website through a secure, third-party payment processor, PayPal. When you click a donation link, you are redirected to PayPal’s secure platform.

  • No Financial Storage: Echo Hill never collects, sees, or stores your credit card numbers, bank account information, or PayPal credentials on our website servers.
  • Donor Information: PayPal shares limited transaction details with us (such as your name, billing address, email address, and donation amount) so we can process your tax-deductible contribution receipt and maintain our non-profit donor records. Your donor data is kept strictly confidential. You can review PayPal’s data practices directly in the PayPal Privacy Statement.
  1. Information Collected From Children Under 13

In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we never knowingly collect personal data directly from children under the age of 13 through our public website. Our contact forms are intended strictly for use by parents, guardians, and adult inquiries. All registration information must be submitted exclusively by an adult through the secure CampSite portal.

  1. Your Rights Under Texas Law

Under the TDPSA, Texas residents have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information they have submitted to us via our website contact forms. To exercise these rights, please contact us directly using the information provided on our website.
