Effective Date: October 30, 2025
The Deshik Welfare Foundation (“We,” “Us,” or “Our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of every donor, campaigner, and visitor (“User”) on our platform, deshik.org. As a trusted platform for social good, we uphold high standards of transparency regarding how we collect, use, and secure your personal data. By using our website or services, you consent to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.
We collect personal and technical information to ensure secure transactions, verify campaigns, and comply with Indian legal and regulatory requirements.
For donors, we collect your name, email address, phone number, donation amount, and PAN (if you request an 80G tax benefit). This information allows us to process your donations, generate receipts, communicate updates about your contributions, and issue 80G tax certificates.
For campaigners or partner organizations, we collect your full name, address, bank account details, PAN, Aadhar (for KYC), official documents (for NGOs or institutions), and any photo or video content related to your campaign. This information is mandatory for verification, fraud prevention, and legal compliance, including the disbursement of funds.
We also collect technical and usage data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, device information, and time zone. This helps us improve website performance, maintain security, and understand how users interact with the platform to enhance the donation experience.
Your information is used primarily to operate the platform securely and effectively. We process your data to complete transactions, verify the legitimacy of campaigns, and ensure that all campaigners (individuals, NGOs, and institutions) meet our internal standards and comply with regulations. We also use your contact details to share updates, thank-you messages, and impact reports related to the campaigns you support. Additionally, we use your information to meet legal obligations, such as issuing 80G receipts or reporting to government authorities when required.
The Deshik Welfare Foundation does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We share data only when it is essential. For example, your payment details are securely processed by verified, RBI-compliant payment gateways, and we never store or handle sensitive credit card information directly. Your name and donation amount may appear publicly on the campaign page (for example, on a donor wall) unless you choose to donate anonymously.
In cases where it is legally required, we may disclose information to courts, law enforcement agencies, or other authorities to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Deshik Welfare Foundation or the public. For donations made to registered NGOs or verified campaigners, your name and email may also be shared so that they can send official acknowledgments or tax receipts.
We use several safeguards to protect your data. All information transmitted through our website is encrypted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology. Access to sensitive personal information is restricted to authorized personnel who require it to perform their duties. KYC documents and other sensitive data are stored securely and handled in accordance with Indian data protection standards.
While we use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no online transmission or storage system is entirely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security, though we continuously work to maintain strong safeguards.
We use cookies to improve your browsing and donation experience. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences, maintain your login status, and analyze how visitors use the site. This information helps us make the website more efficient and user-friendly. You can choose to accept or decline cookies through your browser settings at any time.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal obligations. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the “Effective Date” at the top.
