Privacy Policy
At Prahas Nandish Charitable Trust, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you interact with our website, services, and activities. By using our website prahasnandishcharitabletrust.org, contacting us, or supporting our programs, you agree to the terms of this policy. We believe in transparency and want you to feel confident that your data is safe with us.
We are a registered charitable trust working towards social development, community welfare, and service-oriented programs. As part of our work, we interact with donors, volunteers, beneficiaries, and website visitors. To carry out these interactions smoothly, we may collect certain personal information. Protecting this information is important to us, and we only use it in ways that are consistent with your consent and our mission.
Information We Collect
When you interact with our trust in any way, we may collect information that helps us communicate with you and carry forward our charitable activities. The information may include your name, phone number, email address, postal address, and payment details if you make donations. If you sign up as a volunteer, we may also request additional information such as your skills, availability, and areas of interest. When you visit our website, we may automatically collect some technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit. This helps us improve our website and understand visitor interests.
How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is primarily used to serve the purpose for which you provide it. For example, if you make a donation, we use your details to process the donation, issue receipts, and maintain records as per legal requirements. If you register as a volunteer, we use your details to contact you regarding volunteering opportunities. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email to share updates about our programs and activities. We may also use your information for communication about events, campaigns, appeals for donations, and acknowledgements. Any data collected through our website may also be used to analyze how visitors use our site so that we can improve our online presence.
Donor Privacy
We deeply respect the privacy of our donors. Donation-related information, including your personal details and payment data, will never be sold, rented, or exchanged with any third party. We may disclose donation records to auditors, banks, or authorized government agencies only where it is legally required. We assure you that your generosity and identity will be kept confidential unless you permit us to publicly acknowledge your contribution.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to anyone. However, in some cases, we may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who help us with our activities, such as payment gateways for processing donations, email service providers for sending newsletters, or IT service providers for maintaining our website. These service providers are only given access to the minimum necessary information and are bound by confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose information if required by law, in response to a valid request from authorities, or to protect the rights and safety of our trust and its stakeholders.
Cookies and Online Tracking
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance user experience. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us remember your preferences and understand how visitors use our website. You may choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, but this may affect some features of the website. We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information without your consent.
Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Our website uses secure protocols to protect information transmitted online. Access to sensitive information is restricted to authorized staff or volunteers who are required to keep the data confidential. While we do our best to protect your data, no system is completely secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to us electronically.
Your Rights
You have the right to know what personal information we hold about you. You may request access to your data, correct inaccuracies, or ask us to delete your information if it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected. You may also opt out of receiving our communications at any time by contacting us. If you are a donor, we will continue to retain certain records as required by law, even if you request deletion. We respect your rights and will respond to requests within a reasonable time.
Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18 without parental or guardian consent. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us, and we will take steps to remove such information.
