Privacy Policy

Information we collect

• Details you give us directly: name, email address, phone number, postal address and PAN when you donate, volunteer or contact us.
• Donation information such as amount, date and payment method reference (we never store your full card or bank details).
• Technical information collected automatically, such as browser type, device and pages visited on this website.

How we use your information

• To process donations and issue receipts and 80G certificates.
• To respond to enquiries and volunteer applications.
• To send updates about our work, appeals and impact reports — you can opt out at any time.
• To meet our legal, accounting and regulatory obligations.
• To improve the website and understand how people use it.

We never sell your data

Save The Breath Foundation does not sell, rent or trade donor or volunteer information. We share personal data only with service providers who help us operate — such as payment gateways and email platforms — and only to the extent needed, or where required by law.

Payment security

Online donations are processed through secure, PCI-compliant payment gateways. Card and banking details are handled entirely by the gateway and are never stored on our systems.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working and to understand how it is used. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may then work less well.

Data retention

We keep donor and volunteer records for as long as required to serve you and to satisfy Indian statutory, tax and audit requirements. After that, records are securely deleted or anonymised.

Your rights

• Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Ask us to delete your information where we are not required to keep it.
• Unsubscribe from our communications at any time.

Children's privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Photographs and stories of the children we serve are published only with the consent of their parents or guardians, and identifying details are changed where needed to protect them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page.
