Privacy Policy
What ConexBoxes collects, why we need it, and the choices you have.
Effective October 10, 2026
1Who we are
ConexBoxes is a community emergency-supply project of the Oregon Chinese Coalition, an Oregon nonprofit (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This policy covers the public website at conexboxes.org, the team dashboard at app.conexboxes.org, the ConexBoxes mobile app, and the service behind them (together, the “Service”).
The public website is open to everyone. The team dashboard and mobile app are for staff and volunteers we invite to look after supply boxes. There is no public sign-up, no advertising, and no social feed.
2Information we collect
If you only browse the public website, we do not ask you for any personal information. If you are invited to the team, we handle the following.
- Account information. Your name, email address, optional profile photo, role (member or administrator), the boxes you are assigned to, and whether your account is active. Invitations record the invited email address, the person who sent it, and when it was accepted.
- Sign-in information. A hashed version of your password (we never store the password itself), session tokens, password-reset requests, and for each session the IP address and browser or device description it came from.
- Inventory activity. Supply counts, checkouts, and returns, together with the name of the person who recorded them, the person who borrowed an item, and when it happened. These records keep a reliable history of each box.
- Photos. Profile, box, and item photos you choose to upload. We resize them and convert them to a standard web format, which also removes embedded metadata such as the location where a photo was taken.
- Box information. Each box’s name, address or location description, map coordinates, description, and photo.
- Camera. The mobile app asks for camera access so you can scan item barcodes and take photos, and photo library access so you can choose an existing photo. It does not record audio. A scanned barcode is used only to find the matching item; camera images are kept only when you upload a photo on purpose.
- Technical logs. Our servers keep standard request logs, which include IP addresses, browser details, pages requested, and times, as well as records of emails we sent.
The mobile app does not request your device’s location. We do not collect payment information, and we do not use analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting services.
3The public website
On the box locations page you can choose “Use my location” to sort boxes by distance. Your browser asks for permission first. Your approximate location stays in your browser to calculate distances and is never sent to or saved by us. Because the map then centers on your area, the map service described below receives requests for map images of that area.
The public website does not set cookies. It remembers your language choice in your browser’s local storage. Some pages load content from other providers, who receive your IP address and browser details when they do:
- OpenStreetMap provides the map images on the box locations page.
- unpkg delivers the open-source map software that page uses.
- YouTube plays the introduction video, using its privacy-enhanced mode, only after you choose to play it.
- Google supplies the small site icons shown next to links in the emergency guides.
“Get directions” links open Google Maps, and the emergency guides link to government and nonprofit websites. Those sites have their own privacy policies.
4How we use information
We use information to:
- create and secure accounts, sign you in, and give you access to the boxes you help with;
- keep accurate counts and an accountable record of what was checked out, by whom, and when;
- send invitation and password-reset emails, which are the only emails the Service sends;
- show the public where boxes are located and how to reach them;
- prevent abuse, investigate problems, and keep the Service working; and
- meet legal obligations.
We do not sell personal information, use it for advertising, or use it to make automated decisions about people.
6Your choices and rights
You can change your profile photo or remove it at any time. Depending on where you live, you may also ask us to:
- tell you what personal information we hold about you;
- correct information that is wrong;
- deactivate your account or delete your information; or
- give you a copy of information you provided.
Email info@pdxchinese.org with your request and the email address on your account. We may need to confirm your identity first. When you ask us to delete your information, we remove your account and photo; names in past inventory records may be kept or replaced with a placeholder so each box’s history stays accurate.
If we decline a request, you can appeal by replying to our answer with “Privacy appeal” in the subject line. We will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.
7Children
The public website is for general audiences. Team accounts are not meant for children under 13. If a younger volunteer needs an account, a parent or guardian must contact us first so we can obtain any consent the law requires.
A parent or guardian may ask what we hold about their child and have it corrected or deleted. If we learn that we collected a child’s information without required consent, we will delete it.
8Storage, retention, and security
Information is stored on servers in the United States. We keep account information while your account is active. When an account is deactivated, its sessions and password-reset requests are removed. Inventory history is kept so each box keeps an accurate record, and server logs are kept only as long as needed to operate and secure the Service. Information we delete may remain in backup copies until those copies are replaced.
The team dashboard uses one essential cookie to keep you signed in, and remembers display preferences, such as the color theme, in your browser. The mobile app keeps your sign-in in your device’s secure storage.
We protect information with encrypted connections, hashed passwords, role-based access, limits on repeated sign-in attempts, and short-lived password-reset links. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a password you do not use elsewhere.
9Changes and contact
We will update this policy when the Service or the law changes, and change the effective date above. If a change significantly affects how we use your information, we will let team members know before it takes effect.
A Chinese translation of this policy is provided for convenience. If the two versions differ, the English version applies.

- OpenStreetMap 提供物资箱地点页面上的地图图像。
- unpkg 提供该页面使用的开源地图软件。
- YouTube 以隐私增强模式播放介绍视频,且仅在您选择播放后才会加载。

7儿童
公共网站面向一般大众。团队账户不适用于 13 岁以下的儿童。如果年龄较小的志愿者需要账户,其父母或监护人须先联系我们,以便我们取得法律要求的同意。
