Your Data, Protected

Privacy Policy

How Devadiya Foundation collects, uses, and protects your personal information.

Last updated: June 2026

1. Introduction

Devadiya Foundation ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who visits our website or interacts with our programs — donors, volunteers, partners, interns, and the senior citizens and communities we serve. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use and protect it.

2. Information We Collect

When you use our contact, volunteer, partnership, or internship forms, we may collect:

Your name, email address, and phone number
Your organization name (if applicable, for partnership/CSR inquiries)
The message or details you choose to share with us

We do not collect or store any payment information. Donations made via UPI or bank transfer are processed directly through your banking app or bank — we never see or store your card, UPI PIN, or account credentials.

3. How We Use Your Information

To respond to your inquiries, volunteer applications, partnership requests, or internship applications
To send you a donation receipt, if requested
To keep you updated on our programs and events, only if you've subscribed to our newsletter
To improve our website and services

4. How We Store & Share Your Information

Form submissions are securely recorded via Google Apps Script into a private Google Sheet accessible only to authorized Devadiya Foundation team members. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share information with trusted service providers (such as Google, for form processing) strictly to operate our website and programs.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

Our website uses your browser's local storage to remember your language preference (English/Hindi), and session storage to avoid showing the same popup widgets repeatedly during one visit. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. If Google Analytics is enabled, it may use cookies to understand site usage in aggregate — no personally identifiable information is shared with advertisers.

6. Your Rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time by emailing us at devadiyafoundation@gmail.com. You may also opt out of any newsletter communications at any time.

7. Children's Privacy

Our programs include activities for youth and students (e.g. career guidance sessions). Where we collect information from minors (such as through a school partnership), we do so only with appropriate institutional consent, and limit collection to what is necessary for the program.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
