Privacy Policy

Welcome to the website of Bridges Educational Foundation, accessible at http://www.befserve.org (“the Site”). Bridges Educational Foundation (“we,” “us,” or “our”) values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. By using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

When you contribute a donation on our website, we collect the personal information you provide, including your name, address, email address, and PAN. Additionally, as you navigate our site, we automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address to glean insights into your browser and operating system.

We may also, with your consent, send you informational emails about our organization and its projects.

When you furnish us with personal information for transactional purposes, such as completing a donation, verifying your credit card, or addressing an inquiry, your action implies consent for us to collect and use that information solely for the specified purpose. If we seek your personal information for secondary purposes like marketing, we will either directly ask for your express consent or provide an opportunity for you to decline. You have the option to withdraw your consent by contacting us at contact@befserve.org.

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

For online payments, we utilize a third-party payment gateway company. We do not store your credit card information on our servers. The terms and conditions, privacy policy, and data security policy of the third-party payment gateway company apply when making a donation on our website.

Our third-party service providers only collect, use, and disclose your information as necessary to perform services for us. However, certain providers, such as payment gateways, have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing these policies to understand how your personal information will be handled. Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party site, you are subject to that site’s privacy policy.

To safeguard your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and adhere to industry best practices to prevent inappropriate loss, misuse, access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

We use cookies to maintain your user session but not to personally identify you on other websites.

By using this site, you affirm that you are of the age of majority in your state or province of residence or have given consent for any minor dependents to use this site.

We retain the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, with changes becoming effective immediately upon posting on the website. Material updates will be notified to you. Please check this policy regularly for updates.

For any inquiries about accessing, correcting, amending, or deleting your personal information, registering a complaint, or seeking more information, contact our Privacy Compliance Officer at contact@befserve.org.
