Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Agape-Global (formerly Project Nyame Nsa) is a charitable organization dedicated to supporting vulnerable communities through education, healthcare, and sustainable development initiatives. We value the trust donors, volunteers, and visitors place in us and are committed to protecting personal information in a transparent way.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly and information collected automatically when you use our website.

Personal information you provide

  • Full name, email address, phone number, and mailing address
  • Donation details (amount, currency, frequency)
  • Payment-related metadata (we do not store full card numbers; see Payment Processing below)
  • Communications preferences and subscription choices
  • Messages, comments, or inquiries submitted through contact forms

Automatically collected information

  • IP address, browser and device type, operating system
  • Pages visited, time on site, referring URLs, and other analytics data
  • Cookies and similar technologies used for site functionality and analytics (you can control cookies in your browser)

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To process donations, issue receipts, and manage recurring gifts.
  • To communicate with you about our programs, events, and how your support is used (if you opt in).
  • To respond to inquiries and provide support.
  • To comply with accounting, tax, and legal obligations.
  • To analyze, improve, and secure our website and supporter experience.

We do not sell or trade personal information for commercial purposes.

4. Payment Processing

Online donations and payments on our site are processed securely by Stripe. When you enter payment details on our donation pages, those details are transmitted directly to Stripe over an encrypted connection. Agape-Global does not store full payment card numbers on our servers.

Stripe is a separate data controller for payment information and processes data according to its own privacy practices: Stripe Privacy Policy.

If you are in the European Union or United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases:

  • Consent — where you opt in to receive marketing or newsletters.
  • Contractual necessity — to process donations, memberships, or event registrations.
  • Legal obligation — to comply with tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.
  • Legitimate interests — to operate and improve our services, detect fraud, and maintain supporter relationships (balanced against your rights).

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to meet legal or accounting obligations, and to resolve disputes. Records of donations and transactions will typically be retained for up to seven (7) years to satisfy tax and audit requirements unless a longer retention period is legally required.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include HTTPS, access controls, and secure third-party providers. While we strive to protect your data, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

8. Sharing of Information

We may share personal data with:

  • Service providers who perform services on our behalf (e.g., payment processors, email platforms, hosting providers) subject to agreements requiring confidentiality and data protection;
  • Regulatory or law enforcement authorities when required by law or to prevent fraud or illegal activity;
  • Other parties with your explicit consent.

We never sell donor personal data for commercial marketing.

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than the country where you live. Where transfers occur, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (for example, standard contractual clauses or relying on third parties that provide adequate protection).

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including:

  • The right to access and receive a copy of personal data we hold about you;
  • The right to correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
  • The right to request deletion or restriction of processing;
  • The right to object to processing and to withdraw consent at any time (for marketing communications);
  • The right to data portability where applicable.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us (see Contact Us below). We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

11. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, please contact us and we will delete the information as required by law.

Our site may contain links to third-party websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of any external websites you visit.

13. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes that affect how we use your data will be communicated by prominent notice on our site or by email when appropriate.
