This Privacy Policy applies to https://ektaseva.com, the Ekta Seva Foundation website, donation flow, contact form, admin records and related public pages. Privacy questions may be sent to support@ektaseva.com.

Ekta Seva Foundation is the public-facing community-help initiative. The registered legal entity name connected with the initiative is Agro Epic Farmer Producer Company Limited.

Information you provide

You may browse most public pages without creating an account. We collect personal information only when you voluntarily submit it or when it is required to operate a requested feature.

• Name, phone number and email address submitted during donation or contact flows
• Selected cause, intended donation amount, donation note, transaction reference and payment-status details available to us
• Message subject, enquiry details, volunteer interest, partnership request or complaint content
• Any supporting information you choose to provide while asking about a donation, campaign, contact request or grievance

Information collected automatically

For security, analytics and website improvement, limited technical information may be collected automatically when pages are visited or actions are taken.

• Page URL, landing page, referral source and campaign interaction
• Approximate device category, browser, operating system and screen characteristics
• Time of visit, basic event activity and non-sensitive diagnostic logs
• Session information needed for admin authentication and website security

Payment information we do not store

UPI PIN, OTP, debit-card PIN, full bank-account password, full card number and mobile-banking login details are not requested or stored by this website.

Payment authorisation happens inside the donor's selected UPI app, bank app or payment provider environment. The payment provider and bank may process information under their own policies.

How information is used

We use information for legitimate operational, donor-support, safety, legal and administrative purposes connected with the initiative.

• To respond to enquiries, contact-form submissions, donation questions and volunteer messages
• To record donation intent, selected cause, amount and available transaction details
• To reconcile donations, investigate payment issues and maintain donation records
• To improve page content, navigation, campaign communication and accessibility
• To protect the website, admin panel, database and donation flow from misuse
• To comply with accounting, legal, reporting, audit or regulatory obligations where applicable

Cookies, local storage and translation

The website may use cookies or local storage for essential functions such as session handling, language preference, admin login security, analytics and basic site preferences.

The language switcher may use Google Translate or Google-hosted translation resources. When a visitor uses translation, Google may receive technical information under Google's own privacy practices.

Sharing of information

We do not sell personal information. We do not rent donor lists or contact-form data to advertisers.

Information may be shared only when reasonably necessary with authorised team members, website/database providers, professional advisers, payment participants, banks, technical vendors, law-enforcement agencies, regulators or authorities where required by law, security, fraud prevention or dispute handling.

Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, donor support, transaction reconciliation, complaint handling, website security, legal compliance, accounting records and operational reporting.

Different records may be retained for different periods. A contact enquiry may be deleted earlier than accounting or payment-related records that must be retained for compliance or dispute reasons.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information, including restricted admin access, environment-based secrets, database controls and practical operational limits.

No website, payment system or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Visitors should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive medical, identity, bank or family information through general forms.

Children and sensitive information

Children should not submit personal information, contact forms or payments without a parent or lawful guardian. If a message concerns a child, the adult submitting it should provide only the information required for the request.

Medical, family, financial or beneficiary information should be shared carefully and only when necessary for the relevant enquiry or support review.

Your privacy choices

You may contact us to request access to information you submitted, correction of inaccurate details, deletion where lawful and practical, or withdrawal of consent for future non-essential communication.

Some information may continue to be retained where required for legal, accounting, fraud-prevention, security, donation-record or dispute-resolution purposes.

External links and updates

This website may contain links to payment apps, banks, social platforms, Google services or other websites. Their own privacy policies apply once you leave ektaseva.com.

We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, operations, payment flow or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with the effective date above.
