1. About This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how the Nelson Kopunye campaign website may collect, use, store and share personal information when you contact the campaign, register as a volunteer, submit a contribution or pledge enquiry, or use the website. It is intended to help visitors understand how their information is handled.
2. Information We Collect
Depending on the form or service you choose to use, information may include your name, telephone or WhatsApp number, email address, district or community, enquiry details, volunteer preferences, skills, availability, and contribution or pledge information. Technical information such as device, browser, IP address and usage information may also be collected by the website hosting provider or enabled analytics services.
3. How Information Is Used
Information provided may be used to respond to enquiries, coordinate volunteer activities, communicate campaign updates where requested, follow up on contributions or pledges, manage events, protect website security, and meet applicable record-keeping or legal requirements. We recommend limiting collection and use to what is necessary for these purposes.
4. Contributions and Payment Information
If you express interest in contributing cash, by cheque, bank transfer, or in kind, the campaign may use the information you provide to follow up, verify the contribution, and maintain appropriate records. This website's enquiry forms do not themselves process bank card payments unless a separately configured payment service is introduced. Do not enter banking passwords, PINs or card security codes into general enquiry forms.
5. When Information May Be Shared
Personal information may need to be shared with authorised campaign personnel or service providers responsible for website hosting, email delivery, form processing or administration, subject to appropriate safeguards. Information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law. The campaign should not publish or sell personal contact information for unrelated marketing.
6. Security and Storage
Reasonable organisational and technical safeguards should be used to protect submitted information from unauthorised access, loss or misuse. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Information should be retained only for as long as necessary for legitimate campaign operations and applicable legal obligations, then securely deleted or anonymised where appropriate.
8. Your Privacy Choices
You may contact the campaign to ask what personal information is held about you, request correction of inaccurate information, ask to stop receiving optional campaign messages, or request deletion where appropriate and legally permitted. Requests may require identity verification before information is changed or released.
9. Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for general public information and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate authorisation. If information about a child has been submitted in error, contact the campaign to request review and appropriate removal.
10. Links to Other Websites
This website may link to external websites, social media platforms or services. The campaign is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites. Please review their privacy notices before providing personal information.
11. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as campaign services, website features, or applicable requirements change. The current version should be posted on this page together with its effective date.
12. Privacy Enquiries
For questions about this policy or requests concerning your personal information, use the campaign's Contact page. Before publishing, the campaign administrator should insert a verified privacy contact email or postal address and confirm who is responsible for responding to requests.
