We do not publish identifying information, photographs or personal stories of beneficiaries where doing so would be inappropriate or where required consent has not been obtained.

6. Children's Privacy

Protecting children's privacy is particularly important to SHE Foundation. Where our programmes involve children, information will be handled with appropriate safeguarding measures and only for legitimate purposes connected with programme delivery, administration, protection, reporting or related organisational activities.

Where consent is required for the collection, use or publication of information relating to a child, we seek appropriate consent from a parent, guardian or other authorised person.

7. Donations and Payment Information

Where online donations or payments are processed through third-party payment providers, payment information may be processed directly by the relevant payment provider.

SHE Foundation does not intentionally store complete payment-card details on its website unless expressly stated and lawfully required for a particular service.

Third-party payment providers may have their own privacy policies and terms governing how payment information is processed.

8. Cookies and Website Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, security, performance and user experience.

Cookies are small files stored on your device by websites. Depending on your browser settings, you may be able to restrict or disable cookies. Some website features may not function correctly if certain cookies are disabled.

9. Third-Party Services

Our website may contain links, embedded content or services provided by third parties, including social media platforms, video platforms, payment providers, analytics services or other external services.

These third parties may collect information in accordance with their own privacy policies. SHE Foundation does not control the privacy practices of external websites or services and encourages users to review their respective privacy policies.

10. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable technical, administrative and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, destruction or loss.

Access to personal information is limited to individuals who require the information for legitimate organisational purposes.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate organisational records, to fulfil legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements or protect our legitimate interests.

When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy or anonymise it where appropriate.

12. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

Information may be shared where reasonably necessary with trusted service providers, programme partners, professional advisers, payment providers, technology providers or relevant authorities, provided there is a legitimate reason and appropriate safeguards are applied.

We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to protect the safety, rights or property of individuals or the organisation.
