Privacy Policy

We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it when you use our Website or donate to our cause.

1. What Data We Collect

a. Voluntarily Provided Personal Information

We collect personal information only when you voluntarily submit it — for example, when you:

  • Donate via our Website,
  • Fill out a contact, volunteer, or inquiry form,
  • Sign up for a newsletter or mailing list.

Such personal data may include: name; email address; postal address (if applicable); phone number; payment or donation details; messages or inquiries; and any other information you choose to provide.

b. Automatically Collected Non-Personal / Technical Data

We may automatically collect non-personal data for analytics and site-maintenance purposes, such as:

  • Browser type and version,
  • Device type, operating system, screen resolution,
  • IP address (general, non-identifying), region or country,
  • Pages visited, time and date of access, referral source, time spent on pages.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use collected information to:

  • Process and manage donations,
  • Respond to your inquiries or messages,
  • Send you updates, newsletters or information — only if you choose to opt in,
  • Improve our Website’s performance, user experience, and security,
  • Keep internal records for accountability and transparency.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing or commercial purposes.

3. Third-Party Services & Data Sharing

Some parts of the Website (e.g. payment processing, email distribution, analytics) may rely on trusted third-party services. In such cases:

  • We may share only the necessary data (e.g. payment processor gets minimal info to process donation).
  • We ensure such third parties follow privacy and security standards.
  • We will not share your data with third parties for marketing or unrelated use without your explicit consent.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet-based system is entirely risk-free.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our Website may use cookies or similar technologies to help with site navigation, analytics, performance, and to improve your experience. You can choose to block or disable cookies via your browser settings — but note that some parts of the site may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

6. Opt-Out / Unsubscribe

If you no longer wish to receive newsletters or updates from us, you can unsubscribe anytime by contacting us or clicking the unsubscribe link (if provided).

7. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. By continuing to use the Website after changes are posted, you agree to the updated policy.
