Gyan Foundation Sansthan (“Organization”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal information collected through our website and related online services. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use it, how it may be shared, and the choices available to you.
This policy applies to information collected through our website, online forms, donation pages, volunteer/application forms, and other digital interactions operated by or for Gyan Foundation Sansthan.
We may collect information such as your name, mobile number, email address, postal/location details, donation details, volunteer or application information, messages submitted through contact forms, communication preferences, and technical information such as browser/device information, IP address, cookies, and website usage data.
Where online donations are accepted, payments may be processed by third-party payment gateways. We generally do not store complete card numbers, banking credentials, UPI PINs, passwords, or other sensitive payment authentication information on our own servers. Payment providers may process information under their own terms and privacy policies.
We may use information to process and acknowledge donations; respond to enquiries; communicate about volunteering, programmes, events, or applications; maintain financial and organizational records; improve our website and services; comply with applicable legal, accounting, tax, and regulatory requirements; and prevent fraud or misuse.
Where applicable, donation information may be used for statutory records and reporting. Any tax benefit or certificate, including any benefit under Section 80G of the Income-tax Act, 1961, will be provided only where the Organization is legally eligible/approved and the applicable conditions are satisfied. Donors should retain their transaction and donation records.
We may share relevant information with payment processors, website/technology service providers, professional advisers, auditors, government or regulatory authorities where legally required, and authorized personnel who need the information to perform their functions. We do not intend to sell personal information for advertising purposes.
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to remember preferences, understand website usage, improve performance, and maintain security. You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, payment providers, social media platforms, or other services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and users should review those policies before sharing information.
Our website is not intended to knowingly collect unnecessary personal information from children. Where programmes involve children, information should be collected and handled through appropriate parental/guardian, institutional, or programme procedures.
You may contact us regarding questions about personal information, corrections, or privacy-related concerns using the contact details below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on certain requests.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted on the website with an updated “Last Updated” date.
