2. Information collected automatically: This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring website, pages visited, and time spent on our website. We use cookies and similar technologies to gather this information anonymously.
3. Information from third parties: We may receive information about you from third-party service providers, such as payment processors or social media platforms, depending on your interactions with them.

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

2. To process your donations and manage your volunteer activities.
3. To personalize your experience on our website.

We may share your personal information with third-party service providers who assist us in our operations, such as email marketing platforms, data analytics providers, and payment processors. These providers are obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for authorized purposes.

We will not share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes without your consent. We may disclose your information to government or law enforcement officials if required by law, or to protect the rights or safety of ourselves or others.

Your information may be transferred and stored on servers located outside of your country. We take steps to ensure that your information is protected in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We take appropriate security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

You have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• To access and review your information.
• To request correction of inaccurate information.
• To request deletion of your information.
• To restrict the processing of your information.
• To object to the processing of your information.
• To withdraw your consent for the processing of your information.
• This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
