Your trust is handled with the same care as our science work.

Shivalik Foundation may collect information that you choose to share with us through donation, contact, newsletter, volunteer, workshop, partnership or event forms.

This can include your name, email address, phone number, city, organisation or school details, message, contribution preference and any information required for acknowledgement, receipts or compliance.

General browsing of the website is usually anonymous. We may collect basic technical information such as device, browser, approximate location, date, time and pages visited to understand website performance and improve user experience.

We use the information only for foundation-related purposes: responding to enquiries, coordinating workshops, managing volunteer interest, sending requested updates, recording donations, issuing acknowledgements and improving our science education programs.

If you subscribe to updates, we may send program news, event information or impact reports. You can ask us to stop sending these messages at any time.

We do not use personal information for unrelated commercial advertising.

When you make a donation, payment processing may be handled by a third-party payment gateway or banking partner. Sensitive card, UPI or net-banking details are processed through those secure systems and are not intentionally stored by Shivalik Foundation on this website.

Donation-related information may be used to keep accurate records, provide receipts, support donor service, comply with applicable law and help us report impact transparently.

We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. We may share limited information with trusted service providers only when needed for website hosting, forms, email, analytics, payment processing, audit, legal or compliance support.

We take reasonable organisational and technical steps to keep information secure. No website can guarantee absolute security, but we work to reduce risk and limit access to authorised team members or service partners.
