This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, donate, volunteer, or interact with our organization.

Babul Keyer (referred to as "we," "us," or "our") operates as a non-governmental organization registered in Ethiopia (Registration Number: 4513). We respect your privacy and are dedicated to protecting it through compliance with this policy.
We may collect several types of information from and about users of our website and services, including:
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health information) unless voluntarily provided by you in the context of our programs. Any such information will be treated with the highest level of confidentiality and security.
We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason compatible with the original purpose.
We respect your privacy and do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following circumstances:
We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, processing payments, conducting our programs, or serving you. These providers are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and secure.
We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., court order, government agency).
We may disclose information when we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or potential threats to the safety of any person.
We may share information for any other purpose disclosed to you and with your consent.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
All payment transactions are processed through secure, PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways. We do not store complete credit card information on our servers. Your payment details are encrypted and handled directly by our payment processors.
While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously work to maintain and improve our security practices.

As an international organization, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. These countries may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.
