Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

The following policies govern how the Damaris Maweu Foundation collects, handles, and protects information submitted through our website, and the terms under which our content and services may be accessed.

Privacy Policy

The Damaris Maweu Foundation is committed to protecting the privacy of every individual who engages with our organisation, whether through this website, our donation channels, volunteer applications, or partnership enquiries. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information submitted to us.

We collect personal information only when it is voluntarily provided. This includes names, email addresses, telephone numbers, organisation affiliations, and the content of messages or forms submitted through official channels. Donation-related submissions may also include details relevant to payment processing, such as email addresses for receipts and financial records.

Personal data submitted through this website is used exclusively for the purposes for which it was provided: responding to enquiries, processing charitable contributions, administering volunteer and partnership engagements, and fulfilling internal records obligations. We do not use your information for unsolicited commercial marketing, and we do not sell, rent, or trade personal data with third parties.

Charitable contributions made through this website are processed by a certified and regulated third-party payment service provider. The foundation does not store, transmit, or have direct access to full payment card details. All financial transactions are governed by the security standards and terms of the payment processor engaged for this purpose.

We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable legal, regulatory, or reporting obligations. When information is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with responsible data management practices.

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to request corrections if any details are inaccurate, and to request deletion of your information where no overriding legal obligation requires its retention. Such requests may be submitted in writing to our official contact address, and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Our website may contain links to external websites operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external websites you visit.

This privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements, operational practices, or the services we offer. Material changes will be communicated on this page, and continued use of our services following such updates will constitute acceptance of the revised terms.
