Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Nature Bodies Foundation ("we", "us", "our"), Section 8 (non-profit) company registered at Hemu Nagar, Near East Cabin No. 1, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh – 495004, collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information when you visit this website or make a donation through it. By using this website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

We collect information only where you actively provide it to us, and we do not collect more than is necessary for the purpose stated:

• Donation information: if you choose to provide your name and email address when making a donation, this is used solely to issue a receipt or acknowledgement and is passed to our payment gateway partner, Razorpay, to process your transaction.
• Payment information: we do not collect, receive, process, or store your card number, UPI ID, net-banking credentials, or any other payment instrument details. These are entered directly into Razorpay's secure, PCI-DSS-compliant payment interface and are governed by Razorpay's own privacy policy.
• Contact form information: if you use our contact form, the details you enter (name, email, and message) are composed into an email opened in your own device's email application and sent directly from you to our inbox. This information does not pass through or get stored on any server we operate.
• Technical information: standard web server logs (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) may be recorded automatically by our hosting provider for security and operational purposes.

Information you provide is used only for the purpose for which it was collected:

• To process and confirm your donation, and to send a receipt if you provided an email address.
• To respond to enquiries submitted through our contact form.
• To maintain the security, integrity, and proper functioning of this website.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We disclose information only to the following categories of recipients, and only as necessary:

• Razorpay Software Private Limited, our payment gateway partner, to process donation transactions.
• Government or regulatory authorities, where required by applicable law, court order, or legal process.

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the limited information we hold from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Donation payments are processed entirely within Razorpay's PCI-DSS-compliant infrastructure; card and bank details never reach our servers. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

This website does not currently use advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies. Should this change in the future, this policy will be updated in advance, and consent will be sought where required by applicable law.

This website is not directed at children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Some campaign stories on this website describe our work with student and youth volunteers; no personal contact information about minors is published without appropriate consent.

We retain donor information (name and email, where provided) only for as long as necessary to maintain accurate financial and donation records, and to comply with applicable accounting and legal obligations.

You may write to us at nature_bodies_bms@yahoo.com at any time to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided to us, and we will respond within a reasonable time.

This website may link to third-party websites, including our social media pages and Razorpay's payment interface. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The updated version will be indicated by a revised "last updated" date below and will take effect as soon as it is published.

This policy is governed by the laws of India, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules framed thereunder.
