We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, email address, phone number, postal address (if provided), donation details, and information submitted through contact forms, volunteer forms, or partnership enquiries.

When you make a donation or payment through our website, payment information is processed securely by third-party payment gateways. We do not store your credit card numbers, debit card numbers, CVV, or banking credentials. We may receive limited transaction details such as donor name, email address, transaction reference number, amount, date, and payment status for record-keeping and compliance purposes.

We also automatically collect certain technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, and pages visited. This information helps us maintain website security and improve user experience.

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
