HEHDO Privacy Policy
HEHDO respects and aims to protect the privacy of all our website visitors and donors and of the people who connect with the organization in any other way unless disclosures are required by law. Our privacy policy encompasses the data we collect, how we use it, and our approach to the privacy of our donors.
Information Collected
If you are only visiting our website and don’t create an account or share your personal information with us by signing up or contacting the organization, the only data collected would be through website cookies. You will have the choice to limit the flow of data to necessary cookies, or you may choose to share marketing and personalization information with us via your selections.
Users who connect with our website through their personal information and login credentials voluntarily share this information with us. We don’t share this information with third parties or marketing companies. However, HEHDO doesn’t take responsibility for any privacy breaches associated with websites connected to ours through links in blogs and articles.
Automated data collection will also include information obtained by the analytics software we use (primarily Google Analytics). The demographic data collected in this manner is used for stats only and is not exploited for marketing and targeted search.
Donor Information
People who make donations through the website or one of the payment processors/channels offered on the website share crucial financial information with us, including credit card information. This information is protected by following the best cybersecurity practices and choosing reputable payment processors.
Our donors can rest assured that we adhere to the best industry practices and employ top-of-the-line security protocols to ensure the safety of their financial information during and after the donation is made. End-to-end encryption of each financial transaction ensures that necessary financial data and your personal information are not leaked to hostile entities.
Use Of Information
For both donors and non-donors, the information collected will only be used in a manner approved by the website user. If they have opted for a newsletter, they will receive regular communication from HEHDO until they opt out of the service. If they have granted the website permission to inform them about the events, they will get regular notifications until they choose to opt out of this automated service.
We also provide electronic receipts of the donations to be used for tax purposes. The financial information collected is shared with the payment processor (by default), so donors concerned about a particular payment processor or vendor may reach out to HEHDO about alternative payment methods or processors.
Information Visibility And Sharing
The information we collect directly, through your interaction with the website and the information you share with us voluntarily, are only visible to relevant personnel in the HEHDO team. We ensure minimal information dispersal (internally), so our donors and visitors can benefit from relative anonymity. Some of your information may be shared with the volunteers, but only after their credibility has been established.
We may share some of your information with affiliated entities other than the banks or financial institutions that offer payment processing services. Information regarding these affiliate entities will be available on the website.
