Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Rocky's Empowerment Foundation collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you use our website, donate, volunteer, subscribe, or contact us.

Who controls your information

Rocky's Empowerment Foundation is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. Privacy requests may be sent to info@rockysempowermentfoundation.org.

Information we collect

  • Contact details such as your name, email address, and phone number.
  • Volunteer information, including your area of interest and any message you submit.
  • Newsletter subscription information.
  • Donation information such as donor details, amount, currency, transaction reference, and payment status. We do not intentionally store full payment-card details.
  • Technical and security information needed to operate and protect the website, such as device, browser, IP, and error information where made available by our service providers.

How and why we use information

We use information to process donations, provide confirmations, respond to enquiries, manage volunteers, send requested updates, administer programs, prevent fraud, maintain records, improve the website, and comply with applicable obligations. Depending on the context, processing is based on consent, steps taken at your request, legitimate organisational interests, or legal obligations.

Service providers and international processing

We use service providers including Flutterwave for payment processing, Supabase for website data and storage, Web3Forms for delivering contact and volunteer notifications, and Zoho Mail for official email communications. They process information under their own terms and privacy practices. Information may be processed outside your country; where required, we use appropriate safeguards and limit sharing to what is necessary.

Retention and security

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including financial, safeguarding, dispute, and legal recordkeeping. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no online system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your choices and rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask to access, correct, delete, restrict, or receive a copy of your information; object to certain processing; withdraw consent; or unsubscribe from communications. You may also complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Children

This website is not designed to collect personal information directly from children without appropriate parent, guardian, or lawful safeguarding involvement. Contact us if you believe a child has submitted information improperly.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as our services or obligations change. The current version and effective date will remain on this page. Questions and requests can be sent to info@rockysempowermentfoundation.org.
