3. Legal Basis for Processing

AASRAA processes personal data only for lawful purposes and, where required, based on appropriate consent or other lawful grounds recognised under applicable law.

Where consent is relied upon, you may have rights relating to that consent as provided under applicable data-protection law.

4. Sharing of Information

AASRAA may share relevant information with trusted third parties where necessary to operate our website, process donations, maintain records or comply with legal requirements.

These may include:

• Payment gateways and payment service providers.
• Banks and financial institutions.
• Website hosting and technology service providers.

AASRAA does not sell or rent donor personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

5. Payment Gateway

Online payments may be processed through a third-party payment gateway.

When you proceed to make a payment, you may be redirected to or interact with the payment service provider’s systems. Information submitted through those systems may be governed by the payment provider’s own privacy policy and terms.

AASRAA does not control the privacy practices of third-party payment providers and recommends that donors review the relevant provider’s policies where appropriate.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The AASRAA website may use cookies or similar technologies to provide essential website functionality, remember preferences, improve performance and understand website usage.

You may be able to control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the website.

7. Data Security

AASRAA takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, misuse or destruction.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, while AASRAA takes reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through the internet.

8. Data Retention

AASRAA retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including maintaining donation, financial, accounting, audit and statutory records where required.

Certain information may therefore be retained for longer periods where required by applicable law, regulatory requirements, accounting requirements or legitimate organisational purposes.

Subject to applicable law, individuals may have rights concerning their personal data, including rights to:

• Obtain information about the processing of their personal data.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of personal data where applicable.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Raise a grievance or complaint regarding the processing of personal data.

Requests relating to personal information may be submitted using the contact details provided below.

AASRAA may need to verify the identity of the person making a request before acting on it.

10. Children’s Privacy

AASRAA’s programmes may involve children and young people. Personal information relating to children is handled with particular care and in accordance with applicable laws, safeguarding requirements and organisational policies.

The online donation facility is intended for donors and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children for independent use or marketing purposes.

11. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties.

AASRAA is not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of those websites. Users should review the privacy policies of external websites before providing personal information.
