By accessing the CGTLE Foundation board portal (cgtle-automation.cgtlea.workers.dev) or receiving SMS notifications from the CGTLE Foundation, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please discontinue use and contact support@cgtlea.org to be removed.

Eligibility

The board portal is restricted to authorized board members of the Coast Guard Tactical Law Enforcement Foundation (CGTLE Foundation), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 45-5219729). Access is granted by the Foundation administrator and authenticated via Google OAuth.

Permitted Use

The portal is provided for the following purposes:

  • Creating and managing EAF records

  • Recording payment and disbursement information

  • Communicating with other board members about EAF cases

You agree not to use the portal for any purpose unrelated to CGTLE Foundation board activities, and not to share access credentials or portal content with unauthorized individuals.

Confidentiality

EAF requests contain sensitive personal and financial information about Coast Guard families in crisis. You agree to treat all information accessed through the portal as confidential and to use it solely for the purpose of evaluating and processing assistance requests.

SMS Messaging Terms & Conditions

By enrolling in CGTLE Foundation text notifications through the SMS enrollment page at [www.cgtle.org/sms-notifications](https://www.cgtle.org/sms-notifications), you agree to receive recurring automated text messages from CGTLE Foundation (Coast Guard Tactical Law Enforcement Foundation) regarding Emergency Assistance Fund (EAF) requests, scholarship decisions, and organizational updates.

- **Message types:** New EAF request alerts, board vote reminders, EAF approval and disbursement notifications, scholarship application updates, and organizational notifications

- **Message frequency:** Varies based on organizational activity, typically 2–8 messages per month

Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of any purchase, membership benefit, or board service. Opting out of SMS does not affect your access to the board portal. You may continue to use the portal without receiving text notifications.

Your mobile carrier is not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.

Limitation of Liability

The CGTLE Foundation, its board members, and its volunteers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of the portal or SMS notifications.
