This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information when you interact with our website, donate, volunteer, participate in our programs, or engage with us in any way. We process personal data in compliance with applicable Indian laws, including the **Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act)** and its associated rules (as notified in 2025), and other relevant regulations.

 1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of personal data (digital personal data as defined under the DPDP Act):
– **Contact and Identification Information**: Name, email address, phone number, postal address, date of birth (where relevant), and government-issued ID details (for donor receipts, volunteer registration, or tax-exemption purposes under 80G).
– **Donation-Related Information**: Payment details (processed securely via third-party gateways), transaction ID, amount, and purpose of donation.
– **Volunteer/Participant Information**: Skills, availability, photographs (with consent), and emergency contact details for events, camps, or programs.
– **Website Usage Data**: IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent, cookies, and similar technical data collected via analytics tools.
– **Other Data**: Any information you voluntarily provide through contact forms, emails, event registrations, or feedback.

We collect this data only when necessary for our charitable objectives, such as processing donations, organizing health camps, sports events, education programs, tree plantations, or sending updates.

 2. How We Collect Your Information
– Directly from you (e.g., donation forms, volunteer sign-ups, event registrations, emails, or inquiries).
– Automatically through website cookies, server logs, and analytics tools.
– From third parties (e.g., payment gateways for donations or government portals for scheme-related activities, only with your consent or as permitted by law).

3. Purpose of Processing Your Personal Data
We process your personal data only for legitimate charitable purposes, including:
– Processing and issuing 80G tax-exemption receipts for donations.
– Managing volunteer registrations, event participation, and program coordination.
– Communicating updates, newsletters, event invitations, impact reports, and appeals (with your consent where required).
– Complying with legal obligations (e.g., CSR reporting, audit requirements, Income Tax filings).
– Improving our website, services, and community outreach.
– Preventing fraud, ensuring security, and maintaining records as required under the Bombay Public Trusts Act and other laws.

We process data on the basis of your consent, contractual necessity (for donations/volunteering), legitimate interests (for operational efficiency), or legal obligations.

4. Consent and Withdrawal
We obtain your free, informed, specific, and unambiguous consent before processing personal data where required under the DPDP Act. Consent is granular and easy to withdraw at any time with the same ease as it was given (e.g., via email reply, unsubscribe link, or contact form). Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing done before withdrawal. For children’s data (if any), verifiable parental/guardian consent will be obtained.

5. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share it only:
– With trusted service providers (e.g., payment gateways, email service providers, auditors) bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.
– With government authorities or regulators when legally required (e.g., for tax compliance, audits, or CSR reporting).
– In case of merger, acquisition, or legal restructuring of the organization.

No international transfer of personal data occurs unless compliant with DPDP Act provisions.

6. Data Security
We implement reasonable security safeguards (technical, organizational, and administrative) to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction, in line with industry standards and legal requirements under the DPDP Act.

7. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with legal obligations (e.g., audit and tax records for 7–10 years as per law), or resolve disputes. After that, data is securely deleted or anonymized.
