Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information FreePhonesWireless.org may receive when you visit the site or contact us, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.
FreePhonesWireless.org is an independent informational website. We do not process Lifeline applications, determine eligibility, manage provider accounts, collect benefit documents, or ship phones.
Please do not send sensitive application information
Do not submit Social Security numbers, Medicaid or SNAP records, income documents, government identification, bank details, passwords, or Lifeline application files through our contact form. Applications and eligibility records should be provided only through an official program or participating provider.
Information you provide
When you contact us, we may receive information such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use this information to respond to questions, correct website content, and manage communications.
Information collected automatically
The website, hosting provider, security tools, or analytics services may automatically receive basic technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, and approximate location derived from an IP address.
This information may be used to operate the website, understand general traffic, improve content, prevent abuse, and diagnose technical problems.
Cookies and analytics
Cookies or similar technologies may be used for essential website functions, security, preferences, and traffic measurement. Browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies, although some site features may not work as intended.
When Google Analytics or another analytics service is enabled, that service may process usage, device, browser, session, and approximate-location information according to its own privacy terms.
How information may be shared
Information may be processed by service providers that support website hosting, security, analytics, email, or contact-form delivery. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect the website, investigate abuse, or defend legal rights.
We do not sell contact-form messages or the personal details included in them for money.
External links
Articles may link to government agencies, Lifeline administrators, wireless providers, Apple, and other third-party websites. Their privacy practices and content are controlled by those organizations. Review their policies before submitting personal information.
Data retention and security
Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was received, website operations, security, or legal obligations. Reasonable safeguards may be used, but no website or transmission method can guarantee complete security.

You may contact us to ask about personal information you submitted through the website or to request correction or deletion when reasonably possible. Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have additional privacy rights.
Children’s privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13.
