Donations and Payment Information

Fundraising and crowdfunding often involve financial transactions, and protecting payment-related information is an important consideration.

If Fundly offers donation or payment functionality, payment details may be collected and processed by third-party payment providers.

These providers may handle information such as payment card details, billing information, and transaction records according to their own privacy and security practices.

We encourage users to review the terms and privacy policies of the relevant payment providers before completing transactions.

Never share sensitive payment information through unsecured messages or public fundraising comments.

Third-Party Links

Our website may include links to other websites, fundraising resources, payment services, or external platforms.

These websites operate independently and may have their own privacy policies.

Fundly is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security measures of third-party websites that we do not control.

Before providing personal information on another website, we recommend reviewing its privacy policy.

How We Protect Your Information

At Fundly, we recognize the importance of protecting personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure.

We aim to use appropriate technical and organizational measures based on the nature of the information we handle.

However, no website, online service, or electronic transmission can guarantee complete security.

We encourage users to protect their account credentials, use strong passwords where accounts are available, and avoid sharing sensitive personal information unnecessarily.

Data Retention

Fundly aims to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

The actual retention period may depend on:

• The type of information collected.
• The purpose for which it is used.
• Legal and regulatory requirements.
• Security and fraud-prevention needs.
• Applicable recordkeeping obligations.

When information is no longer needed, we aim to delete, anonymize, or otherwise handle it appropriately, subject to applicable legal requirements.
