Mouw Law & Raven Community Fund Privacy Policy & Store Terms of Service
MOUW LAW + RAVEN COMMUNITY FUND PRIVACY POLICY (2025)
Updated: November 29, 2025
Mouw Law and the Raven Community Fund (“we,” “our,” or “us”) are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have when interacting with our website, forms, and services.
We believe in dignity, transparency, and community-centered justice—your information will never be sold, misused, or shared without consent.
⸻
1. WHO WE ARE
Mouw Law
A South Dakota law practice providing legal and community-centered services under the business entity Mouw Legal Coordination LLC.
Raven Community Fund
A community-supported fund assisting low-income clients with essential legal needs. The Raven Community Fund exists under Mouw Law currently, but will function as a separate, non-profit arm in the near future. All Raven Community Funds are held and accounted for in a separate account. Donating to the Raven Community Fund never gives the donor access to attorney-client information.
Both operate through this website and follow this single privacy policy.
