Privacy Policy

Your trust matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have over your data.

Last updated: 7 July 2026

01Information we collect

We collect the information you give us directly — your name, email address, phone number and postal address when you donate, volunteer, subscribe to updates or contact us. For donations, we also collect payment details and, where you choose to provide it, your PAN so that we can issue a valid 80G tax receipt.

We automatically collect limited technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit, to keep the site secure and to understand how it is used.

02How we use your information

We use your details to process donations and issue receipts, respond to your enquiries, coordinate volunteering, and — only where you have chosen to hear from us — send updates about our programmes and campaigns.

We never sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers, such as payment processors, strictly to the extent needed to deliver these services.

03Cookies & analytics

Our site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and to measure how the site performs. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended if you do.

04Data security & retention

We apply appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to protect your information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. Payment data is handled over encrypted, secure connections.

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above or to meet our legal and accounting obligations.

05Your rights

You may ask us to access, correct or delete your personal information at any time. You can unsubscribe from our communications using the link in any email, or by writing to us directly.

06Donations & refunds

Donations made through this website are voluntary and are eligible for tax exemption under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act. As contributions directly fund ongoing programmes, they are generally non-refundable; if a donation is made in error, please contact us promptly and we will review the request in good faith.
