3. Donor Information

We value the trust of our donors.

We may share information with service providers that assist us with legitimate organizational functions, including:

4. Donation Information and Tax Records

Donation records may be retained as necessary to satisfy legal, tax, accounting, auditing, regulatory, and organizational requirements.

For charitable contributions of $250 or more, federal tax law generally requires donors to obtain a contemporaneous written acknowledgment from the charitable organization containing specified information.

Donors are responsible for determining the tax deductibility of their contributions and should consult their tax adviser regarding their individual circumstances.

If you provide your email address, we may send you information about:

• God’s Foundation

• Janaki Home of Hope

• Programs and charitable initiatives

• Events

• Fundraising campaigns

• Organizational updates

You may unsubscribe from non-essential promotional or informational email communications by using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the communication or by contacting us.

Even if you opt out of certain communications, we may continue sending transactional or administrative communications, such as donation receipts, acknowledgments, security notices, or other communications necessary to administer your relationship with us.

6. Information Concerning Children and Vulnerable Persons

Janaki Home of Hope is intended to support vulnerable children and young people.

Protecting the privacy, dignity, safety, and identity of children and vulnerable persons is a fundamental organizational priority.

We do not knowingly use this website to solicit personal information directly from children for purposes unrelated to legitimate program administration.

We will take reasonable precautions when handling photographs, stories, names, testimonials, or other information relating to children or vulnerable persons and will seek appropriate authorization and consent where required.

We will not knowingly publish unnecessary identifying information about children or vulnerable persons.

Where appropriate, identifying details may be changed, limited, anonymized, or omitted to protect an individual's privacy and safety.

7. Photographs, Stories and Testimonials

From time to time, we may publish photographs, videos, stories, testimonials, or other materials relating to our charitable work.

We seek to present individuals, particularly children and vulnerable persons, respectfully and with dignity.

Where consent is required or appropriate, we will obtain authorization before publishing identifiable photographs, stories, or testimonials.

Donors and supporters may contact us if they have questions or concerns regarding the use of their photograph, name, testimonial, or other personally identifying information.

8. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties, including payment processors, fundraising platforms, social-media platforms, partner organizations, event services, and other websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third parties before providing them with personal information.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we become aware of a data security incident affecting personal information, we will respond as required by applicable law.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement, including to:

• Process donations

• Maintain financial and tax records

• Satisfy legal and regulatory requirements

• Resolve disputes

• Enforce agreements

• Maintain appropriate organizational records

• Protect our legitimate organizational interests

Certain records may therefore be retained after you cease interacting with us.

11. California Privacy Considerations

God’s Foundation is a nonprofit charitable organization. The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) generally does not apply to nonprofit organizations.

Nevertheless, we believe that transparency, responsible stewardship, and respect for personal information are important principles for a charitable organization.

Accordingly, we seek to provide individuals with meaningful information regarding how their personal information is collected and used.

If you have a privacy-related question, correction request, deletion request, or other concern, please contact us using the information below.

Where a legal obligation requires us to retain information, we may be unable to delete certain records.

12. International Information

Our charitable activities may involve individuals, partners, service providers, or organizations located outside the United States.

Information may therefore be accessed, processed, or maintained in countries other than the country in which you reside.

Where appropriate, we will take reasonable steps to protect personal information consistent with applicable law and our organizational policies.

13. Changes to This Privacy Statement

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or organizational activities.

When we make material changes, we may update the “Effective Date” or “Last Updated” date above and provide additional notice when appropriate.
