Our purpose

Abington Township Volunteer Fire Department is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, as confirmed by department representatives. We do not represent donations or purchases as tax deductible. Contact the department for documentation about a specific contribution.

Information we collect

Community registration collects your name, email and phone number, with your agreement to receive monthly newsletters, weekly chief’s notes, and article/event updates. Member applications also collect your requested department role, additional duties and optional profile photo. Email verification and department approval are separate steps.

Use and access

We use these details to manage account access, review member applications and maintain communication preferences. Member photos and application details are restricted to authorized department personnel. We do not sell these records. Providing a phone number does not authorize marketing texts or calls.

Your choices

You may unsubscribe from updates using Email preferences. Unsubscribing does not cancel emergency services or department membership. Contact the department to request corrections or deletion of your account details. Records are retained while needed for account administration; a formal retention schedule is pending department approval.

Storage and email

Records are stored with our hosted provider with access restricted by role. Account confirmation emails are sent automatically when you register. No newsletter campaigns run automatically. Email delivery from a department domain, retention controls and this policy require approval before launch.

Safety and external services

This website is not an emergency reporting or dispatch service. Call 911 in an emergency. Maps and educational materials are informational. Store, partner and education links may open external websites governed by their own policies. Sponsored or affiliate placements will be identified when enabled; a listing is not a guarantee of a third party’s services.
