Privacy Policy
At Yasmin Foundation, we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with us through our website, donation platforms, and other services.
1. Who We Are
We are Yasmin Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to enhancing the quality of life for Somali communities through education, healthcare, and environmental initiatives.
2. Information We Collect
We collect personal information from you in various ways, including when you:
- Make a donation
- Subscribe to our newsletter or other communications
- Submit inquiries via our contact form or other platforms
- Leave comments on our website
- Register for events or participate in our programs
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
3. Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images.
4. Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website. When you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience so you don’t need to fill in the details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will set up cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences, which last for two days (login cookies) and one year (screen options cookies).
5. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
6. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Any third-party service providers (such as payment processors) we work with are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
7. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time, except for your username, which cannot be changed.
8. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for any data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
9. Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
