Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 2, 2026

1. About this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Village Enterprises (“Village Enterprises,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you visit our website. It applies to pages operated by Village Enterprises, including information about our nonprofit organization, senior-living communities, wellness programs, galleries, employment opportunities, and contact services.

2. Information you choose to provide

You may voluntarily provide personal information when you contact us, request information, inquire about employment, or communicate with one of our communities. This information may include:

• Your name, email address, telephone number, and preferred method of contact.
• The content of your message or inquiry.
• Information you choose to provide regarding services, employment, or community needs.

Please do not submit medical records, Social Security numbers, financial account information, passwords, or other highly sensitive information through a general website contact form.

3. Information collected automatically

Basic technical information may be processed by our web-hosting provider when a page is requested. This can include an Internet Protocol address, browser type, device type, requested page, date and time of access, and security-related server logs. Such information may be used to operate, secure, diagnose, and maintain the website.

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics only after a visitor selects the website analytics option. Analytics may help us understand general website activity, such as which pages are visited, approximate device and browser information, and how visitors navigate through the site.

Our implementation disables Google Signals and advertising-personalization features. Google Analytics remains blocked when consent is declined or has not yet been provided. Information processed by Google is also governed by Google’s own privacy terms and policies.

5. Embedded YouTube videos

Some pages contain videos hosted by YouTube. The website does not load those embedded players until embedded-video consent is accepted. When consent is given, videos are loaded using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced domain, youtube-nocookie.com.

Even in privacy-enhanced mode, YouTube may process technical information when a visitor loads or interacts with a video. YouTube and Google control their own processing practices.

6. Consent preference storage

The site stores your privacy choice in browser local storage under the key ws_privacy_preferences_v5. Its purpose is to remember your separate analytics and embedded-video choices across pages. This preference is designed to remain for up to one year. You can change your selection at any time by clicking the Privacy choices button. You may also clear your browser’s cookies and local storage.

7. How we use information

We may use information collected through the website to:

• Respond to questions, inquiries, and requests.
• Provide information about our communities, services, programs, and job openings.
• Operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure the website.
• Understand general website usage when analytics consent has been given.
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights, residents, staff, and visitors.

8. How information may be shared

We do not sell personal information. We may share information only when reasonably necessary with:

• Authorized Village Enterprises personnel who need it to respond to a request.
• Service providers that support website hosting, communications, security, or analytics.
• Government authorities or other parties when required by law or necessary to protect legal rights and safety.
• A successor organization in connection with a merger, reorganization, or transfer of operations, subject to applicable law.

9. Data retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate business and communication records, to resolve disputes, to protect the website, and to comply with legal obligations.

10. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. However, no website, email transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Children’s privacy

This website is intended to provide general information about Village Enterprises and its services. It is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may contact us to request review or deletion.

12. Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you live and the applicable law, you may have rights regarding personal information, such as requesting access, correction, deletion, or information about how it is used. Certain legal exceptions may apply.

You may decline optional analytics without losing access to the website. You may reopen the consent controls at any time by selecting Privacy Choices.

13. External websites

Our website may link to websites operated by other organizations. Village Enterprises does not control the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites. Their own policies apply when you leave our website.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the website, our practices, service providers, or legal requirements. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when material changes are made.
