It applies to all “our sites” – that is, all sites within the “www.janajagarana.org” domain name and other Sri JanaJagarana Trust-managed sites, social media accounts, and channels. On some of our sites, you can create accounts, order merchandise, make donations, join and participate in discussion forums, and apply for jobs.

Please read our Privacy Policy carefully before using our sites and refer back to it regularly to check for updates. Remember, this Privacy Policy will govern how we collect and use your personal information from the moment you start visiting or using our sites.
You should note that through our sites you may reach or be directed to other sites that relate to Sri JanaJagarana Trust, such as the sites of our national committees (the various private charities around the world whose mission is to support Sri JanaJagarana Trust). All those sites have their privacy policies which follow the same key personal data privacy and protection principles as Sri JanaJagarana Trust, but may have some differences.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information and other Information
When you use our Platform, we collect and store your personal information, which is provided by you from time to time. Our primary goal in doing so is to provide you with a safe, efficient, smooth, and customized experience. This allows us to provide services and features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our Platform to make your experience safer and easier. More importantly, while doing so we collect personal information from you that we consider necessary for achieving this purpose.
In general, you can browse the Platform without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Once you give us your personal information, either by signing up through our portal or signing in through an associate API such as Google or Facebook, you are not anonymous to us. Where possible, we indicate which fields are required and which fields are optional. You always have the option to not provide information by choosing not to use a particular service or feature on the Platform. We may automatically track certain information about you based on your behavior on our Platform. We use this information to do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand, protect, and serve our users.

We offer certain features that are only available through the use of a “cookie”.
We also use cookies to allow you to enter your password less frequently during a session. Cookies can also help us provide information that is targeted to your interests. Most cookies are “session cookies,” meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits. At this time, all features of the Platform will work even if you disable cookies. However, in the future, and if we add certain new or improvised features and services to the Platform, the Platform or some parts of it may not be accessible if cookies are disabled. You may also be required to re-enter your password more frequently during a session.
Additionally, you may encounter “cookies” or other similar devices on certain pages of the Platform that are placed by third parties. We do not control the use of cookies by third parties.
If you choose to donate or contribute on or through the Platform, we collect information about your donation patterns and generally your usage behavior.
If you transact with us (through making donations/contributions), we collect some additional information, such as a billing address, a credit/debit card number and a credit/debit card expiration date and/ or other payment instrument details and tracking information from cheques or money orders.
If you choose to post messages on our message boards, chat rooms, or other message areas or leave feedback, we will collect the information you provide to us. We retain this information as necessary to resolve disputes, provide User support, and troubleshoot problems as permitted by law.
If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the Platform, we may collect such information into a file specific to you.
We collect personally identifiable information (email address, name, phone number, credit card/debit card / other payment instrument details, etc.) from you when you set up an account with us. While you can browse some sections of our Platform without being a registered member, certain activities (such as donating/contributing) do require registration. We do use your contact information to send you information such as receipts, certificates, upcoming events, newsletters, etc. We also provide certain data to the Campaigner to interact with you and send you information of the type aforementioned as well as to complete certain transactions and fulfill commitments such as rewards, updates, and the like.
For this Privacy Policy, “personal information” is any information that enables us to identify you, directly or indirectly, by reference to any identifiers such as your name, address, phone number, email address, identification number, location data, online identifier – or one or more other factors specific to you as an individual that would allow us to identify you.
In brief: How do we protect your personal information?
We will only use your personal information for the purposes described in this Policy and for no other purpose.
We will not sell your personal information.
We will not keep your personal information for longer than is necessary for the stated purposes except to the extent required by applicable regulations.
We will take all reasonable and necessary technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information.
Special note for children:
Many sites in the Sri JanaJagarana Trust’s, www.janajagarana.org domain/website are focused on children, including interactive sites such as group discussions. Some of these sites require the child user to provide us with personal information, for example, to create an account. If so, we will only ask for the minimum amount of personal information necessary. Those sites will generally have a site-specific privacy policy which you should read carefully.

We may combine this information with information we gather during your general browsing from standard server logs (such as your IP (Internet Protocol) address, domain name, browser type, operating system, and information such as the website that referred you to us, the files you downloaded, the pages you visit, and the dates/times of those visits).

We use sources from the public domain, and our volunteer campaign boards and committees, to identify other individuals who may be able to support us or introduce us to others, usually at a major gift level.
The purpose of doing so will be to:
better understand you and our other supporters and engage with you and them in appropriate and efficient ways to provide more targeted, relevant experiences for our donors, provide more awareness for Sri JanaJagarana Trust’s work around the world, be more transparent on how donors’ funds are being used, and target similar profiles in different digital landscapes.

Advertisements are a basic need in today’s digital world for any organization to grow its digital footprint.
Sri JanaJagarana Trust leverages advertisements via various mediums to fulfill the donation needs of any of its numerous crowdfunding campaigns.
Why am I being shown so many ads from Sri JanaJagarana Trust?
Since you visited Sri JanaJagarana Trust.org: In the past, you have visited the Sri JanaJagarana Trust website or any campaign and supported someone in need.
You have helped someone: by sharing, liking, commenting, or promoting their crowdfunding campaign in the past.
Because you donated to Sri JanaJagarana Trust: In the past, you have helped someone get through their tough time by donating to their campaign.
Affinity Targeting: According to advertising platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Google, etc., you are among the people who care for social causes and feel compassionate about other people who are going through pain.
You follow us on social media: You are currently following Sri JanaJagarana Trust (or used to follow Sri JanaJagarana Trust) on one of the social media platforms where Sri JanaJagarana Trust has a presence.
Why does Sri JanaJagarana Trust need to show ads?
Raising Vital Donations: By utilizing advertisements strategically, Shri JanaJagarana Trust has been able to raise essential funds that directly impact lives. These contributions have supported individuals in need of education, healthcare, environmental protection, and self-help initiatives. Many people who would otherwise be left without critical assistance have benefited from the support made possible through the donations we raise via ads. This approach ensures that vital social and charitable causes receive the attention and resources they need to create lasting change.
Making a Difference Globally: Shri JanaJagarana Trust aims to create a better world by leveraging technology to connect people in need with those willing to help. Advertisements allow us to cut through the digital noise, reaching compassionate donors worldwide and making it easier for them to contribute to those in urgent need.
Providing Urgent Support: In many cases, people require immediate financial help for surgeries or treatments that cannot be delayed. By promoting campaigns through ads, Shri JanaJagarana Trust helps these individuals reach their fundraising targets quickly. Without these efforts, many could lose their loved ones due to a lack of timely support.
Helping the Underserved: For individuals from low-income backgrounds, raising large sums of money can be nearly impossible without a strong network. Many lack the resources and reach to share their fundraising campaigns widely. By using ads, we help these individuals connect with generous donors globally, giving them a fighting chance for survival and relief.
I still don’t care. I don’t want to see the ads. How to stop Sri JanaJagarana Trust ads?
