Purpose and Scope
[NGO] values the trust placed in us by data subjects ("you", "your", "user", "customer") and therefore, we assure you that we adhere to the highest standards of privacy guidelines to protect the information you share with us.
This Privacy Policy describes the use of information provided or collected by [NGO] and/or its subsidiaries and/or affiliate companies (collectively referred to as the "Company"), which operate various websites/mobile apps and other services, including but not limited to the distribution of information and content via any mobile or internet-connected device or otherwise (collectively, the "Services"). We comply with this Privacy Policy in accordance with the applicable laws in our operating regions. In some cases, we may provide specific additional data privacy notices for certain services or regions. Those terms are to be read together and form an integral part of this policy.
Please note that when you provide information to us on a third-party site or platform (for example, via social media logins through our applications), the information we collect through those third-party sites linked to our application is covered by this Privacy Policy, whereas the information collected or capable of being collected by the third-party site or platform is subject to the privacy practices of that third-party site or platform. The privacy choices you make on the third-party site or platform will not apply to our use of information collected directly through our application. Please also note that our sites and applications may contain links to other sites not owned or controlled by us, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
All capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the same meaning as provided under the Terms of Use.
This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with the Terms of Use applicable to [NGO].
