User information on this site is kept strictly confidential. The foundation may, however, use this information from time to time for purposes such as corresponding with the users for various issues. We shall duly seek permission of the users in such cases.
We collect personal information when you create an account or edit your account information, or make a donation.

We do not collect or have access to the credit card numbers or bank account information our third-party vendors ( i.e. Stripe or Razorpay ) collect to process online transactions. Adwaita Foundation will not share, rent or sell your personal information to third parties.
We take privacy seriously and we value yours. In case you have any further questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy, please write to us at info@AdwaitaFoundation.org
