Privacy Policy

NFAHS ("we", "our", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit nfahs.africa or interact with us, how we use that information, and the choices you have. We follow the principles of data minimisation, purpose limitation, and security by default.

Information we collect

We collect only what we need:

• Information you provide directly — when you submit a pledge, contact us, or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your name, email, country, the contribution amount you indicated (where applicable), and any message you include.
• Technical information — when you visit the site, we may collect basic analytics such as page views, referrers, approximate region (from IP), browser type, and device class. We use privacy-respecting analytics that do not set cross-site tracking cookies.
• Cookies and storage — see our Cookie Policy for details.

How we use information

• To respond to your pledge, message, or subscription request.
• To send you updates you have asked to receive (you can unsubscribe at any time).
• To improve the website's content, performance, and accessibility.
• To meet legal, audit, and donor-stewardship obligations.

We do not sell or rent personal information. We do not use your information for advertising or profiling.

Legal bases (GDPR / similar regimes)

• Consent — for newsletter subscription and optional cookies.
• Legitimate interest — for responding to inbound inquiries, basic analytics, and the secure operation of the site.
• Legal obligation — for record-keeping required by applicable law.

Sharing

We share information only with service providers acting on our behalf under written agreements, including:

• Our content management and hosting providers (Sanity, Cloudflare).
• Our transactional email provider (Resend) to deliver confirmations and replies.
• Spam-protection (Cloudflare Turnstile) to protect our forms from abuse.

We may disclose information when legally required, or where necessary to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of our work.

Retention

We keep pledge and contact submissions only as long as needed to act on them and to maintain a reasonable record of our communications, after which they are archived or deleted. Newsletter records are kept until you unsubscribe.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, write to us at team@nfahs.africa. We will respond within a reasonable time and free of charge in most cases.

International transfers

Our service providers may process information outside your country of residence. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect those transfers.

Security

We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures — including TLS encryption, access controls, and audit logging — to protect personal data. No system can be guaranteed perfectly secure; if you have a concern, please tell us.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our work and legal obligations evolve. We will revise the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, post a notice on the site.
