Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 8, 2026
Giving Partnership is committed to protecting the privacy of donors, recipients, organizations, reviewers, and administrators. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when users access Giving Partnership.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect account information such as name, email address, role, password credentials, profile information, verification details, campaign information, donation records, payout requests, bank payout details, uploaded documents, messages, reviews, reports, and audit activity.
2. Verification and Due Diligence Information
Recipients and organizations may be required to submit identity, organization, address, bank account, campaign purpose, and payout documents. High-value payouts may require enhanced due diligence, including use-of-funds information, supporting invoices, screening results, declarations, and follow-up reporting plans.
3. Donation and Payment Information
Giving Partnership does not store raw credit card information. Where card, PayPal, Stripe, bank transfer, or crypto payment integrations are used, payment information should be processed by trusted third-party payment providers. Bank transfer records may include donation references, receipts, amounts, and confirmation status.
4. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Create and manage user accounts.
- Verify recipients and organizations.
- Review campaigns before publication.
- Process donation pledges and donation confirmations.
- Review payout requests and bank details.
- Perform due diligence for high-value payouts.
- Publish approved transparency reports.
- Detect fraud, abuse, misuse, or suspicious activity.
- Maintain audit logs and platform security.
- Communicate important account or campaign updates.
5. Public Information
Published campaigns, approved transparency reports, campaign updates, organization profiles, recipient public profiles, and selected donation information may be visible publicly. Donors may choose anonymous giving where available.
6. Sharing Information
We may share information with payment processors, verification vendors, hosting providers, fraud-prevention services, email providers, legal advisors, regulators, law enforcement, or other parties where needed to operate the platform, protect users, comply with law, or investigate misuse.
7. Bank and Payout Details
Bank details are collected only to support payout review and payment. Users should provide accurate payout details. Before public launch, sensitive bank data should be encrypted, tokenized, or handled through a secure payout provider where possible.
8. Document Storage
Uploaded documents may be stored securely and accessed by authorized reviewers and administrators. Documents should only be used for verification, payout review, due diligence, fraud prevention, compliance, and dispute handling.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect user information. No online system is completely secure, and users are responsible for keeping their login credentials confidential.
10. Data Retention
We may retain account, donation, payout, verification, transparency, moderation, and audit information for as long as needed to operate the platform, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and maintain accurate financial records.
11. User Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or request a copy of certain personal information. Some records may need to be retained for legal, financial, security, fraud-prevention, or audit reasons.
12. Children and Vulnerable Persons
Campaigns involving minors, dependents, or vulnerable persons may require guardian documentation, consent, or additional review. Do not submit sensitive information about others unless you have the right to do so.
13. International Use
Giving Partnership may support users in North America, Asia, and Europe. Information may be processed in countries different from where users reside.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of Giving Partnership after changes means you accept the updated policy.
