Swami Vivekanand Students' Welfare Charitable Trust ("the Trust," "we," "us") operates this website to share information about our work and to receive enquiries, volunteer interest, and donations. This page explains what information we collect through the site, why, and how it is handled.
Information We Collect
When you use the Contact Us form, we collect the information you choose to provide: your name, email address, phone number (optional), the subject of your enquiry, and your message. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect payment information through this website — donations made by bank transfer are handled directly through your own bank, not through this site.
How We Use It
Enquiry information is used solely to respond to you, and is stored in a Google Sheet accessible only to authorized Trust members. We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Third-Party Services
This site uses a small number of third-party services to function: Google Apps Script and Google Sheets (to process and store enquiry-form submissions), and Google Maps (to display our location). These services operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking scripts on this site.
Cookies
This website does not use cookies for advertising or tracking. Any cookies set are limited to those required for basic site functionality (such as third-party embeds like the Google Maps widget on our Contact page).
Children's Privacy
This website is intended for general audiences, including parents, guardians, donors, and members of the public. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from minors through this site. Information about the girls supported by our programmes is shared only with appropriate consent, for the purpose of illustrating our impact.
Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any information you have submitted to us through the Contact form by writing to us using the details below.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

This policy is intended as a clear, general summary for our website visitors and is not a substitute for formal legal advice. We recommend this document be reviewed by a qualified legal professional, particularly with respect to applicable Indian data protection law (including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023).
