1. Purpose of This Website
Our website, chattanoogawaa.com, acts as an informational hub and registered affiliate location/group for Wreaths Across America. We do not directly solicit, accept, or process monetary donations, sponsorships, or financial transactions on this website.
When you choose to sponsor a veteran’s wreath, you will be redirected via an external link to the official, secure billing platform hosted by Wreaths Across America (wreathsacrossamerica.org).
* **Financial Data Security:** Because all transactions occur on the official Wreaths Across America portal, chattanoogawaa.com never collects, handles, or stores your credit card numbers, billing addresses, or banking information.
* **Information Sharing:** Any personal data you provide during the checkout process is governed strictly by the Wreaths Across America Privacy Policy.
* **Affiliate Tracking:** Our redirect links may utilize a specific location or group ID code. This code strictly ensures your wreath sponsorship is correctly credited to the Chattanooga National Cemetery and does not track your private personal data.
ChattanoogaWAA.com provides information about local Wreaths Across America volunteer activities, including event dates, times, and participation details for honoring veterans.
We also collect contact information from individuals interested in volunteering.
