# Privacy Policy

**Last Updated:** October 2026

 **Our Dual Structure:** EHEPS International operates as a hybrid organization comprising
a **Nonprofit Corporation** (focused on social impact) and an **AI & Technology 
Startup** (focused on innovation). This privacy policy applies to both arms of our
organization, ensuring transparency across all our digital platforms, including 
[eheps.com](https://eheps.com) and [eheps.org](https://eheps.org).

## 1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide better services to our community, donors, and 
technology partners. The types of information we collect include:

 * **Personal Information:** Name, email address, and contact details when you subscribe
   to our newsletter, donate, or contact us via [executive@eheps.com](https://eheps.com/privacy-policy-2/executive@eheps.com).
 * **Authentication Data:** When you log into our portal using third-party identity
   providers (such as Google or WordPress), we may receive your basic profile information(
   name, email, avatar) as permitted by your privacy settings.
 * **Usage & Analytics Data:** Data collected automatically via cookies and similar
   technologies when you browse our website, including IP address, browser type,
   and pages visited.

## 2. How We Use Your Information

 * To operate and improve our nonprofit programs and AI technology platforms.
 * To process donations and provide tax receipts (for the nonprofit arm).
 * To communicate project updates, funding milestones (such as our $573,000 Google
   Cloud award), and impact reports.
 * To ensure the security and integrity of our authentication systems.

## 3. Third-Party Services & Integrations

To deliver our AI and nonprofit services, we integrate with several trusted third-
party platforms. Because these platforms may process your data, we have provided
descriptions of how we use them and direct links to their official privacy and terms
pages.

## 4. Data Security & Your Rights

**Security & Retention:** We implement robust security measures to protect your 
data. For our AI startup, all data sent to external APIs (such as Claude or Gemini)
is anonymized (PII stripped) to protect the privacy of vulnerable communities. We
retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined 
in this policy or to comply with legal obligations.

**Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA):** Depending on your location, you may have the right
to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data. To
exercise these rights, please contact us at [executive@eheps.com](https://eheps.com/privacy-policy-2/executive@eheps.com)
or [Executivedirector@eheps.org](https://eheps.com/privacy-policy-2/Executivedirector@eheps.org).

## 5. Nonprofit Privacy & Donor Protection

As a nonprofit corporation, EHEPS International is deeply committed to the highest
standards of privacy for our donors, volunteers, and the communities we serve.

### 🤝 Donor Privacy Guarantee

**We will never sell, trade, rent, or share your personal information with any other
organization or third party for fundraising purposes.** Your contact information
is used strictly for internal record-keeping, tax receipting, and communicating 
the impact of your donation. You can opt-out of fundraising communications at any
time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any email or by contacting our executive
team directly.

### 🛡️ Protection of Vulnerable Populations

Because our nonprofit programs support vulnerable communities (including children,
refugees, and disaster-affected populations), we implement strict data minimization
and anonymization protocols. Any beneficiary data (such as student records or aid
recipient information) is heavily restricted, encrypted at rest, and never used 
for marketing purposes. It is used solely to deliver and improve our humanitarian
and educational services.

### 🧾 Financial & Tax Compliance

We retain donor financial records (names, addresses, and donation amounts) securely
for the duration required by applicable tax laws and financial auditing standards.
If you request to be removed from our mailing list, we will still retain your financial
transaction history in our secure financial system to comply with legal tax requirements,
but we will cease all non-essential communications.

## 6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant
changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date
at the top.
