Privacy and Security Policy

We have created this policy to demonstrate our organisation’s commitment to your privacy. This policy is your guide to how we will handle information we learn about you from your visit to our website.

Information Collected by Inclusive Finance India and How We Use It:

Inclusive Finance India and its affiliates may collect various types of personal information when you use our website or when you voluntarily provide us with your personal information, such as personal information submitted by you through our website when you submit an online form, register for an event, make a sponsorship, sign up for various opportunities, or personal information submitted by you through email.

Examples of personal information that we may collect include contact information you provide, such as name, email address, zip/postal codes, mailing address and phone number; sponsorship information; communications data, including information provided by you about your subscription preferences; user data and usage information collected by our website, such as IP address, date and time of access, location, technical data and other information regarding your visit and use of our website.

We may use your personal information for a number of purposes and activities, such as to send you periodic communications with information about our organisation, programs and services or general financial inclusion developments; to process sponsorships; to support our efforts; to manage event registration and participation; to analyse and improve our website and our communications; to comply with our legal obligations; and to respond to your requests or inquiries. You may always opt out of receiving communications; see the “Opt Out” section below.

We use your personal information only where necessary to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations; where necessary to pursue our legitimate interests, provided that your fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh that interest; or where you have provided your consent, which can be withdrawn at any time. Our legitimate interest in processing your data is to promote and support our work to create a financially inclusive world.

Cookies

As with many other internet sites, we collect certain information in the form of “cookies” to understand how users use our website. Cookies are small pieces of data sent from a website and stored on a visitor’s web browser. Cookies may be used to gather information that will help us personalise your experience on our website and to customise and improve the content and layout. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to refuse to accept cookies if you prefer. We use Google Analytics and other third party plug-ins to tailor our content to our visitors. For more information about how Google Analytics uses your information, please consult Google’s Privacy and Terms. You can always opt-out of Google Analytics cookies through Google’s opt-out page.

Security and Online Sponsorship

For your online security, we use a Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliant Level 1 Service Provider to process online donations pursuant to the highest industry standards and guidelines for PCI compliance. Please refer to the “Third-Party Sites” section below for more information. Independent external audits are conducted to ensure the privacy, security and appropriate processing of your payment information. No online credit or debit card information is received or processed directly by Inclusive Finance India.

If you have any questions regarding the security of your credit or debit card donation online, please email us at inclusivefinance@accessdev.org or call us at +91 11 49050255

Sharing Your Information

Inclusive Finance Indiamay share your personal information for the purposes described in this privacy policy with our affiliates, partners, consultants, vendors and service providers, subject to applicable confidentiality and data protection obligations. Inclusive Finance India will never rent, trade or sell your e-mail address or other personal information for commercial purposes. However, Inclusive Finance India may agree with other reputable, charitable organisations to exchange a sponsor’s contact information in order to write via postal mail or e-mail to some of each other’s supporters in order to reduce costs and expand our audience. If a sponsor prefers not to have his/her name and contact information used in this manner, he/she can send a request to the Resource Development department via email to inclusivefinance@accessdev.org or by phone at +91 11 49050255

Opt-Out

Our marketing platform provides users the opportunity to opt out of receiving communications from us through a special Email Subscriptions / Preferences form linked at the bottom of email messages you receive from Inclusive Finance India. You may choose to receive only specific communications or none at all.

Third-Party Sites

We work with a number of third-party vendors to provide special features, such as online payment processing, online job applications and our marketing platform, and our website may allow you to “click” over to the other websites. This privacy policy does not cover the collection methods or use of information collected by third-party websites, even if our name and logo appear on the screen. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of the third-party before you use any services they offer.

Rights Regarding Your Information

You may request access to, correction or deletion of your personal information held by Inclusive Finance India. We will consider any such request seriously and promptly, although we may choose not to delete information where it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, or we otherwise have a substantial need to retain the data. You may also have rights to restrict or to object to processing of your data and to portability of your data to other service providers. You may exercise any of these rights by contacting us as described below.

Retention of Information

We keep personal information, in a form which permits us to identify you, for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or until consent to hold the data is revoked, provided that there is no other basis for us to hold the information, such as to comply with our legal obligations, protect and defend Inclusive Finance India against legal claims, or it is not technically reasonably feasible to remove it.
