Privacy Policy

When We Act as Data Controllers:

If you register with Givese, we act as the data controller of the personal information you provide. This means we determine how your data is used. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your personal data in such cases.

When We Act as Data Processors:

If you use Givese as a payer or donor, the recipient organization typically serves as the data controller and decides how your data is processed. In this situation, we only act as a data processor, accessing your personal data solely to provide services to the organization. Your data is then subject to the organization's privacy policy or terms, which we strongly recommend reviewing before making a payment.

Anonymous Data:

We may collect non-personally identifiable data such as your IP address, the sections of the application you visit, timestamps, and interactions with links. This data is gathered using cookies and other tracking technologies.

• Cookies: These are small pieces of data stored on your device. We use session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) to confirm logins and persistent cookies (which remain on your device) to facilitate future logins. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but doing so may affect the application's functionality.
• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with our site. This tool collects data about how often users visit, which pages they browse, and referral sources. It does not collect personally identifiable information. The collected data is used solely for improving our services. Google's use of this data is governed by its own Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

Personal Data:

When you register with Givese, you may provide details such as your username, password, full name, email address, and mailing address. You may also choose to add additional personal details to your profile.

Sensitive Data:

We will never ask for or store sensitive information such as racial or ethnic background, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, biometric data, or information related to criminal records or sexual orientation. If we receive such data, we will delete it immediately.

User-Generated Content:

You may post content, including text, images, videos, or other materials to the application. You control the visibility of this content through privacy settings. If shared publicly, it may be viewed by other users.

Managing Your Account:

If you register for an account, we use your data to create and manage it, improve our services, and maintain the application.

Responding to Inquiries:

If you contact us with questions or concerns, we use your personal data to respond and improve our customer support.

Processing Payments:

If you pay through Givese, we process your transaction to ensure it reaches the intended organization. In such cases, your data is primarily controlled by the organization, so we encourage you to review their privacy policies. We may also use anonymized data for analytics to enhance our services.

Sharing User-Generated Content:

If you post content to public sections of the application, it may be visible to other users based on your privacy settings.

Sending Notifications:

If you provide your email address, we may send you updates about Givese. You can manage email preferences in your account settings. Some essential notifications, such as service-related announcements, cannot be opted out of unless you delete your account.

You can delete your account at any time, removing your personal information from our platform.
