A. Personal Identification Information

 

  • Contact Information: Name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  • Financial Information: Credit card numbers, bank account details, and transaction information, collected securely by our third-party payment processors (we do not store full credit card details on our servers).

B. Non-Personal Information

 

  • Technical Data: IP addresses, browser type, operating system, and website usage details (e.g., pages visited, time spent on the site) collected via cookies and analytics tools.

 

2. How We Collect Information

 

We collect information from you in several ways:

  • Directly from You: When you make a donation (online or offline), register for an event, sign up for our newsletter, or contact us.
  • Through Our Website: Using cookies and analytics tools to understand how our site is used and to improve user experience.
  • From Third-Party Sources: Occasionally, we may use publicly available sources or third-party services to update or verify contact information.

 

3. How We Use Your Information

 

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

  • To Process Donations: To complete and acknowledge your donations and manage recurring gifts.
  • To Communicate: To send you receipts, thank-you letters, updates on our programs, and newsletters (if you have opted in).
  • For Internal Analysis: To understand giving trends, evaluate the effectiveness of our fundraising campaigns, and improve our services.
  • To Comply with Law: To meet legal and regulatory requirements (e.g., tax reporting).

We will never sell, trade, or rent your personal information to other organizations.

 

4. Sharing Your Information

 

We only share your information with third parties when necessary and under strict conditions:

  • Service Providers: We use trusted third-party providers (like payment processors and email service platforms) to help us operate our organization. These vendors are only provided the information necessary to perform their specific functions and are required to maintain the confidentiality and security of the data.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal processes or protect our rights and property.

 

5. Data Security

 

We employ a variety of security measures, including physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards, to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All online transactions are processed through secure payment gateways that use industry-standard encryption protocols.
