The Foundation deeply values all contributions to sustain our mission. To protect the privacy of our donors and their special relationship with Indian Development Foundation, we maintain the following policies:
We use personal information collected from donors for the purposes of processing payments and communicating with donors about Indian Development Foundation as well as conducting the fundraising and other operations of Indian Development Foundation. This information may include name, amount donated, address, telephone number, donor comments, e-mail address, and any other personal information provided to us (“Donor Data”). For donations by check, Donor Data also includes the data visible on the check. Information from Payment Processors and Other Service Providers: Payment processors allow donors to give electronically using a payment services account, a credit card, or other payment method. These processors collect certain information from donors, and you should consult their privacy policies to determine their practices. To provide donors the best possible experience, we work with service providers and may share Donor Data and other information with, or have it transmitted through, them. Such service providers include, for example, collocation facilities and bandwidth providers as well as organisations that help non-profit organizations with fundraising.
Anonymous donor information may be used for promotional and fundraising activities. Comments that are provided by donors may be publicly published and may be used in promotional materials. We may use available information to supplement the Donor Data to improve the information we use to drive our fundraising efforts. We may allow donors the option to have their name publicly associated with their donation unless otherwise requested as part of the online donation process. We use data gathered for payment processors and other service providers only for the purposes described in this policy.
Individuals who join Indian Development Foundation’s mailing lists via its website or through its campaigning engagements are added to its email database. Indian Development Foundation does not sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease the addresses on our lists to anyone.
Indian Development Foundation uses a number of external web services on its site to display content within its web pages. For example, to display video it uses YouTube.

If you have questions about this Donor Privacy Policy or requests about the status and correctness of your donor data, please contact us at info@idforg.in
We are committed to protecting donor personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Among other things, we undertake a range of security practices, including measures to help secure web access to sensitive data and undertake efforts to address security vulnerabilities for various tools and databases.
We may disclose information when required by law; when needed to protect our rights, privacy, safety, property, donors, or users; and when necessary to enforce our terms of service.
We may change the Donor Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all changes will be reflected on this page. Substantive changes may also be announced through the standard mechanisms by which we communicate with our users and community.

We seek to retain donor-related information only as needed to fulfil the purposes described in this policy unless a longer retention period is required by law or regulations. For example, tax laws in the India may require us to keep contact information and contribution level of donors on file.
