About Us

BiNetUSA.org revitalizes BiNet USA—America’s oldest bi+ rights organization—as a resource hub for bi+ individuals and allies. Integrated with the Faith & Storm ecosystem, it blends advocacy, research, education and community events. The organization is evolving into a social‑enterprise with programs, research, legal activism and future initiatives like a dating‑app teaser and consulting services.

Information We Collect

Voluntary information: Name (or pseudonym), email address and any details you provide when subscribing, registering for events, signing up for memberships, donating or submitting stories or whistleblower reports. You may choose to remain anonymous for whistleblower submissions.

Automatically collected data: IP address, device/browser type and usage data via cookies and analytics.

Payment information: Collected through trusted third‑party processors when you donate or purchase memberships or merchandise; we do not store full payment details on our servers.

How We Use Information

We use your information to operate and secure the Site, process donations and memberships, organize events, publish content, conduct research and advocacy, communicate with supporters, and improve our services. We may anonymize and aggregate data for research purposes. We do not sell personal information.

Cookies & Tracking

Cookies support essential functions (logins, subscriptions, membership access) and analytics. You can adjust your browser settings to disable cookies, but some features (e.g., membership login) may not work.

Data Sharing

We share data with service providers (hosting, payment processors, analytics, email and membership platforms) solely to perform services for us. These providers must protect data and are prohibited from using it for other purposes. For whistleblower or legal‑advocacy submissions, we may share information with legal counsel or authorities only with your consent or if required by law to protect public interest.

Data Retention & Security

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described or as required by law (e.g., financial records for tax compliance). Sensitive submissions are stored with heightened care and restricted access. We use encryption, secure servers and access controls to protect data, but no method is fully secure.
