Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Fulminare Social Help Foundation (hereinafter referred to as "FSH Foundation India", "we", "us", or "our") values the trust you place in us. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, store, protect, and utilize personal and transactional information provided by donors, volunteers, beneficiaries, and visitors to our global website (fshfoundation.org).

2. Core Principles of Protection

• No Commercial Sharing: We strictly guarantee that no personal, donor, or beneficiary data is sold, rented, or shared with third parties for commercial advertising, marketing, or profiling.
• Consent-First Approach: Personal information is collected solely to process contributions, issue receipts, register volunteers, verify program access, or update stakeholders who have explicitly opted in.
• Data Minimization: We only request information that is legally required under compliance frameworks (such as PAN cards for 80G tax exemptions or passport details for FCRA validation).

3. Data Collection

We may collect information through various pathways, including:

• Donor Details: Name, address, email address, phone number, tax identifier (PAN/EIN), passport copy (as required under FCRA rules), and bank coordinates for direct wires.
• Volunteer and Vacancy Applicants: Qualification details, CV, identity proof, references, and background check records where applicable.
• Technical Log Data: IP addresses, browser types, cookie parameters, and interaction metrics to optimize website responsiveness.

4. Storage and Security

All sensitive information is processed using advanced data security architectures:

• Payment checkouts are processed exclusively through certified secure payment gateways (including HDFC Gateway for INR transactions).
• No credit card, debit card, or banking credentials are ever stored on our servers.
• All documents (certificates, PAN numbers, wire receipts) are stored on encrypted servers with strict privilege-based access rules.

5. User and Donor Rights

Under governing data protection regulations, you have the following rights:

• Right to inspect and access records of your personal data stored with us.
• Right to request correction, amendment, or deletion of personal identifiers (except where record retention is mandated under financial compliance regulations).
• Right to withdraw consent to communications (emails, newsletters) at any time.
