Privacy & data protection

We process personal data in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA).

Identity numbers

Your NIN, BVN and voter's card number (VIN) are sent over an encrypted connection to a licensed identity-verification provider, only to confirm who you are. We do not store the full numbers. We keep a one-way fingerprint, used to stop the same person registering twice, and the last 4 characters.

Who sees your data

Only staff at the organisation reviewing your fundraiser, and platform administrators, can see your name, contact details and verification result. Donors see only your first name and last initial.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete your data by emailing info@namasteif.org. Ledger entries hold no personal identity numbers and are permanent.

Have this policy reviewed by a lawyer before launch.
