1. About this policy
This privacy policy applies to the website of Wisdom Animal Welfare Foundation (the "website"). The website is a simple, informational site describing the foundation's animal welfare focus areas and providing a way to donate through UPI. This policy describes the website's actual practices; where the foundation's own organisational details are still being confirmed, placeholders are shown and will be replaced once verified.
2. Information this website does not collect
This website does not include contact forms, comment sections, user accounts, newsletter sign-ups or any other feature that asks you to submit personal information to us. The website does not use tracking cookies, advertising networks or analytics services, and it does not attempt to identify its visitors. Nothing you do while browsing these pages — which articles you read, which links you click — is collected by the website itself.
3. Technical data processed by our hosting provider
Like virtually all websites, this site is hosted by a third-party hosting provider (currently Hostinger). When any website is accessed, the provider's servers automatically record standard technical information — typically including your IP address, browser type, pages requested, and the date and time of requests — in server logs. This processing is carried out by the hosting provider for security and operational purposes, and is subject to the provider's own privacy practices. We do not use this data for our own purposes.
4. Donations made through UPI
Donations are made by scanning the QR code or entering the UPI ID published on our Donate page. When you choose to donate, the payment takes place entirely within your UPI application (such as Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM or your bank's app) and is processed by that application, your bank and the payment system — not by this website. The website never receives your UPI PIN, OTP, bank details or payment credentials, and never stores payment information of any kind. Your use of UPI applications is governed by the privacy policies of those services, which we encourage you to read.
Please also note: this website cannot independently verify or confirm payments, does not display payment confirmations, and does not issue automatic receipts. If you contact us about a donation, we may process the information you choose to share with us (such as a transaction reference) in order to assist you. Donation-related correspondence is handled through the official contact details published on our Contact page.
5. Third-party links and services
This website links to and mentions third-party services — for example, UPI payment applications — and may link to other websites or resources that we believe are helpful. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their privacy practices. When you leave our website or use a third-party application, the third party's own privacy policy applies.
6. Children's privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children. Since the website does not collect personal information at all, no such information is collected from children. We do, however, encourage parents and guardians to guide children in safe and kind interactions with both the internet and animals.
7. Your choices
Because this website does not collect or store personal information through its own features, there is nothing for you to request, correct or delete with respect to the website itself. If you believe your personal information has reached us through correspondence, or if you have any privacy-related question or concern, please contact us using the verified details published on our Contact page.
8. Changes to this policy
If the website's features change in the future — for example, if a contact form, newsletter or analytics service is ever added — this policy will be updated to describe the change accurately before the feature goes live, and the "last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. We encourage you to review this page occasionally.
9. Contact
Questions about this policy can be directed to the foundation through the verified contact channels listed on our Contact page. Until those details are published, please note that we cannot respond to privacy enquiries through any channel not listed there — and you should treat any communication claiming to represent the foundation, which is not listed on this website, with caution.
