1. Scope and responsibility
This Privacy Policy applies to the website operated by Human & Nature Welfare Organisation of India, a public charitable trust in India. It covers information shared through email, WhatsApp links and other contact routes available on this website.
For questions about this policy or the handling of personal information, contact hnwofindia@gmail.com.
2. Information we may receive
Information you choose to share
- Your name, email address, telephone number or organisation details.
- Information included in a volunteer, partnership, project, media or donation-readiness enquiry.
- Messages and attachments you send directly to our official email or messaging channel.
Basic technical information
Our hosting provider may process routine technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, access time and requested pages for security, reliability and server operations.
Do not send identity documents, payment credentials, health records or other sensitive personal information unless we specifically request it through a verified and appropriate process.
3. How we use information
We use information only where reasonably necessary to:
- Respond to enquiries and route them to the appropriate conversation.
- Assess possible volunteer, CSR, funding, technical or community partnerships.
- Share requested organisational information or programme updates.
- Maintain website security, prevent misuse and meet applicable legal obligations.
- Keep records needed for responsible governance and follow-up.
Where consent is the appropriate basis, you may withdraw it by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out lawfully.
4. Sharing, security and retention
We do not sell or rent personal information. Information may be shared only with authorised team members, professional advisers or service providers who need it for a stated purpose, or where disclosure is required by law.
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect information. No internet or email system is completely secure, so please use care when deciding what to send.
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably needed for the enquiry, relationship, governance record or applicable legal requirement, after which it may be deleted or anonymised.
5. Cookies and external services
This website does not currently use advertising cookies or behavioural profiling tools. Basic technical storage may be used where necessary for website operation or security.
Links to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn take you to third-party services. Their privacy practices and cookies are controlled by those providers. Review their policies before sharing information.
If analytics, payment facilities, forms or new third-party services are introduced, this policy and any consent notice will be updated where required.
6. Your choices and rights
Subject to applicable law and reasonable verification, you may ask us to:
- Confirm whether we hold personal information about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Delete information that is no longer required or withdraw consent.
- Explain or review how an enquiry involving your information was handled.
- Address a privacy grievance.
Send requests to hnwofindia@gmail.com. We may request limited information to verify your identity before acting.
7. Children's privacy
This website is not designed to knowingly collect personal information directly from children. A parent, guardian, school or authorised partner should make contact where an enquiry concerns a child. We will apply additional safeguards before any child-focused programme collects information.
8. Contact, grievances and updates
If you have a privacy concern, contact us with enough detail to understand and review the matter. We will acknowledge and address reasonable requests in line with applicable requirements and organisational capacity.
