The Sudarshan Sanchari Foundation (“we,” “us,” “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share the information you provide when you visit our website (the “Site”), make a donation, or purchase products from us. We value the trust you place in us and are dedicated to handling your data with care and respect.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect personal information from you in the following ways:
Information You Provide Directly:
Donors: When you make a donation, we collect your name, mobile number, PAN (Permanent Account Number, required for our 80G income tax records), your email address if you choose to give it, the purpose of your donation and any message you add. Financial information (like card, UPI or bank details) is collected and processed directly by our secure payment gateway, Razorpay, and is never stored on our servers.

Contact Forms: When you contact us through forms on our Site, we collect your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide in your message.
Newsletter: When you subscribe to updates, we collect your email address so we can send you news about our projects. You can ask us to remove it at any time.
Information Collected Automatically: Like many websites, we may use cookies, log files, and other technologies to collect information about your browsing activity, such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and the duration of your visit.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
To process your donations and product orders, including shipping and delivery. To send you acknowledgments for your donations, updates on your orders, and information about our projects. To analyze website traffic and user behavior to enhance the user experience. To comply with applicable laws and regulations and to maintain records as required for a non-profit organization in India.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We only share it with trusted service providers who help us run the Site and handle donations, and only as much as each needs:
- Razorpay processes payments and receives the details you enter at checkout.

- Google (Gmail and Google Sheets) is where our team receives these emails and keeps donation records.
- Vercel hosts this website and processes the requests your browser sends to it.
We may also share information when required by law, for example with tax authorities for 80G reporting. These providers are obligated to protect your data.

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
