Jeevan Dhara Foundation ("we," "us," "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us — whether you're donating, volunteering, subscribing to updates, or simply browsing our Website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
This Policy applies to information collected through jdfoundation.live, our donation and volunteer forms, our newsletter, and any other official communication channel operated by the Foundation. It does not apply to third-party websites we may link to.
We collect information in the following ways:
We use the information we collect to:
All online donations are processed through secure, PCI-DSS-compliant third-party payment gateways. We do not store your full card number, CVV, or net banking credentials on our servers. We retain only the transaction reference, donation amount, and donor details necessary to issue receipts and maintain statutory financial records.
Our Website uses cookies to remember your preferences, understand how visitors use our site, and improve performance. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; note that some features of the Website may not function as intended if cookies are disabled.
We do not sell your data. We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
We may share information with:
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain donor and volunteer records for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, including statutory financial record-keeping requirements for registered non-profits in India, after which the information is securely deleted or anonymised.
You may request to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to stop sending you communications, by writing to info.jeevandharafoundation@gmail.com. We will respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain certain records.
While many of our programs serve children, this Website is intended for use by adults — donors, volunteers, and supporters. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through this Website. Any information relating to children participating in our programs is collected and safeguarded under our separate Child Protection Policy, available on request.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
