Himanshu Roy Foundation (“Foundation”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a Section 8 Company and non-profit organisation established to undertake activities for public benefit, social welfare and other objectives specified in its constitutional documents.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, protect and disclose personal information when you visit or use our website:

https://himanshuroyfoundation.org/

By using our website or voluntarily providing your personal information to us, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with our website, we may collect the following information:

  • Browser type
  • Operating system

This information may be used to maintain website security, improve website performance and understand how visitors use our website.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information collected through the website for purposes including:

  • Processing and acknowledging donations;
  • Issuing donation receipts;
  • Responding to enquiries and requests;
  • Providing information about the Foundation and its activities;
  • Supporting and administering the Foundation’s social welfare and public benefit activities;
  • Maintaining donation, financial and statutory records;
  • Communicating with donors where necessary;
  • Maintaining and improving our website;
  • Preventing fraud, misuse and unauthorised transactions;
  • Protecting the security of our website and systems;

We aim to collect and use personal information only for legitimate and relevant purposes.

3. Donation and Payment Gateway Information

The Foundation may use third-party payment gateways to facilitate online donations and contributions.

When you make a donation, you may be redirected to or interact with the payment gateway’s payment interface.

The payment gateway may independently collect and process information required to complete the payment transaction, verify the transaction, prevent fraud and comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

The Foundation does not control the privacy practices of third-party payment service providers.

Your use of a third-party payment gateway may therefore also be subject to that provider’s privacy policy and terms.

4. Legal Basis and Consent

Where required by applicable law, we may obtain your consent before collecting or processing your personal information.

By voluntarily submitting information through our website, such as through a donation form, contact form or enquiry form, you acknowledge that the information may be processed for the purposes explained at the point of collection and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Where consent is relied upon as the basis for processing, applicable law may provide rights concerning withdrawal of consent and other data-principal rights.

We do not sell, rent or commercially trade your personal information.

We may share personal information where reasonably necessary for legitimate purposes, including with:

  • Payment gateways and payment service providers;
  • Banks and financial institutions;
  • Website hosting and technology service providers;
  • IT, security and maintenance service providers;
  • Professional advisers, auditors and consultants;
  • Government authorities and regulatory bodies where legally required; and
  • Law-enforcement authorities where required by applicable law.

Third-party service providers may process information only to the extent reasonably necessary to provide their services or fulfil legal obligations.

6. Donation Receipts and Statutory Records

If you make a donation to the Foundation, we may retain information necessary to:

  • Issue a donation receipt;
  • Maintain accounting and financial records;
  • Comply with applicable tax requirements;
  • Meet statutory and regulatory obligations; and
  • Respond to legitimate requests from government or regulatory authorities.

Such information may be retained for the period required under applicable laws and legitimate organisational requirements.

We may use cookies to:

  • Keep the website functioning properly;

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, misuse or destruction.

Security measures may include appropriate technical and organisational safeguards, access controls and secure payment-processing mechanisms provided by our payment service providers.

However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

The retention period may vary depending on the nature of the information and applicable legal requirements.

11. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate consent or authorisation where required by applicable law.

If we become aware that personal information has been submitted by a child in circumstances where such collection is not permitted, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation in accordance with applicable law.

12. Your Rights

Subject to applicable laws and conditions, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

  • Request deletion of personal information where legally applicable;

Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Please note that certain information may need to be retained where required by law, for accounting, tax, statutory, fraud-prevention or other legitimate purposes.

14. Data Accuracy

We request users to provide accurate and up-to-date information.

If you provide incorrect information, particularly while making a donation or requesting a donation receipt, we may be unable to correctly process your request or issue an accurate receipt.
