Privacy Policy
What this website collects, why, and how it is protected.
Review needed
This policy describes how the website actually works. Vasundhara Abhiyan should review it, add retention periods and contact details, and obtain legal advice before relying on it.
Information we collect
When you submit a form (contact, volunteer, plantation drive, school/college, event proposal, corporate partnership, donation interest or event registration) we store the details you enter, such as your name, email, phone number, organisation and message, together with the consent statement you accepted and the time of submission.
If you subscribe to the newsletter we store your email address and the consent statement.
To limit abuse we store a keyed hash of your IP address (not the address itself) with form submissions and rate-limit counters.
How we use it
We use the details to respond to your request, organise activities, and, for newsletter subscribers, send updates. We do not sell personal data.
Where it is stored and who can see it
Submissions are stored in the website's database on the hosting server. Only signed-in administrators can view them. If outgoing email is configured, a notification containing your submission is emailed to the organisation's notification address.
Cookies
The website uses a strictly necessary session cookie to protect forms against cross-site request forgery and, for administrators, to keep them signed in. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies.
Third-party services
Pages may load fonts from Google Fonts, which can receive your IP address and browser details. Photo albums may embed YouTube (privacy-enhanced mode) or Vimeo videos; these providers may set their own cookies when you play a video. Outgoing email, if enabled, passes through the SMTP provider configured by the organisation.
Retention, security and your rights
Retention periods are to be confirmed by Vasundhara Abhiyan. Data is protected by access controls, hashed administrator passwords, secure sessions and input validation. You may ask to see, correct or delete your information by contacting us.
