We highly value your trust and are completely committed to protecting your privacy and safeguarding any personal data or sensitive information you share with us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, utilize, maintain, protect, and disclose your information when you browse our website, interact with our portals, register for our programs, or utilize our integrated secure payment gateways to make voluntary donations.

By accessing or using our website, you formally consent to the data practice protocols described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect data from our visitors, donors, and program participants through two primary channels:

A. Personal Information Provided Voluntarily

We collect personally identifiable information only when you explicitly and knowingly provide it to us (e.g., while filling out our Contact Us form, registering for the Expert Library, or making a financial contribution). This information may include:

Full Name
Contact Credentials (Mobile/Phone Number)
Email Address
Complete Postal/Billing Address
Permanent Account Number (PAN) (collected exclusively from Indian donors for statutory tax exemption receipt documentation)

B. Financial Transaction Records

When you execute a donation or transaction on our website, our integrated, secure payment processing merchants (such as Razorpay/Paytm) collect relevant payment credentials.

Security Guardrail: Expert Social Foundation does not store, log, or maintain sensitive card numbers, CVVs, or Net Banking passwords on our local databases or servers. All payment workflows are handled through secure, encrypted end-to-end PCI-DSS compliant third-party gateways.

C. Automatically Collected Technical Data

When you navigate our website, our host servers automatically log non-personally identifiable technical information through standard cookies and tracking scripts, including:

Your Internet Protocol (IP) address
Browser type and version
Pages visited on our site and duration of stay
Referral source links

2. How We Use Your Information

Expert Social Foundation utilizes the gathered data strictly to fulfill our core social welfare objectives:

To process and accurately verify your voluntary donations and financial contributions.
To generate and issue official transaction receipts, acknowledgement letters, and statutory tax-exemption documents.
To communicate vital operational updates regarding our grassroots campaigns, such as Free Education camps, Healthcare drives, and local library notifications.
To address your queries, respond to form feedback, and optimize website user-experience layout architectures.
To maintain internal data tracking logs for statutory filing requirements with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and Niti Aayog (NGO Darpan).

3. Data Protection & Security Architecture

We implement rigorous security frameworks to guarantee that your personal information is shielded from unauthorized access, modification, exposure, or destruction.

All data transfers across our platform utilize Secure Sockets Layer (SSL/HTTPS) encryption protocols.
Access to your personal identification data is strictly restricted to authorized administrative personnel and core directors (Director Jaypal Lodhi and Director Jitendra Lodhi) on a strict “need-to-know” basis to manage institutional compliances.

4. Disclosure & Sharing of Information

Expert Social Foundation maintains a strict anti-spam and absolute confidentiality protocol:

No Commercial Trading: We never sell, trade, rent, or commercially leak your personal identity credentials to third-party marketing companies.
Third-Party Service Provision: We share minimal relevant data strictly with trusted service merchants who help operate our digital infrastructure, specifically our secure integrated payment gateways (Razorpay/Paytm) and automated transactional email servers (SMTP). These platforms are legally bound to keep your data confidential.
Statutory & Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by a court of law, regulatory income tax authorities, or the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to comply with valid legal processes in India.

5. Use of Cookies

Our website utilizes standard browser “cookies” to improve your navigation experience, retain form inputs temporarily, and collect anonymous aggregate site traffic data. You have the complete liberty to accept or decline cookies by adjusting your browser preferences, though disabling them may slightly affect the smooth processing of transactional pages.

6. Data Retention Policy

We retain your personal profiling details and financial transaction records on our archival servers for as long as necessary to fulfill the specific welfare purposes outlined in this policy, or to fulfill legal, accounting, and statutory tracking mandates required under Section 8 organizational regulations.

7. Rights of the User

You possess complete control over your personal data shared with us. At any given point, you have the right to request:

A digital review of what specific personal details we hold about you.
The correction or updating of any outdated or inaccurate data records.
The deletion of your contact records from our promotional or informational newsletter databases.

To execute any data rights adjustments, please email us directly at support@expertsocialfoundation.org.

8. Amendments to This Privacy Policy

The foundation reserves the right to modify, adapt, or update this Privacy Policy framework at any interval to align with changes in corporate internet regulations or updating IT laws. Any amendments will go live on this exact page with a modified “Last Updated” timestamp at the top.
