TIKVA ("TIKVA," "we," "our," or "us") is an organization supporting women and children in crisis in Colombia. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you visit our website at tikva.ngo (the "Site"), make a donation, subscribe to updates, contact us, apply to participate in a trip or volunteer opportunity, or otherwise interact with the organization.
TIKVA serves a global community of supporters, partners, and beneficiaries. Because our donors and visitors may reside in many jurisdictions, this policy is written with reference to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, "CCPA/CPRA"), the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the United Kingdom's UK GDPR, Colombia's Ley 1581 de 2012 (Statutory Data Protection Law), and similar privacy laws.
The following summary describes the categories of personal information we may collect, the purposes, whether each category is sold or shared, and how long it is retained. Full details appear in the sections that follow.
Categories of personal information defined by California law that we may collect:
We do not intentionally request Sensitive Personal Information through the Site. However, you may choose to provide limited health, medical, dietary, or accessibility information when applying for a trip or volunteering. We use that information only to fulfill your request and to provide reasonable care during the program.
TIKVA also collects sensitive information about the women and children we serve in Colombia. That information is processed under separate program-level agreements with strict confidentiality, is never published on this Site without explicit consent from the individual or guardian, and is not part of the data flows described in this policy.
We use personal information to:
We share personal information with trusted service providers and partners who help us operate. The list below is representative and not exhaustive. We may add, change, or replace providers from time to time, provided the new provider serves an equivalent purpose under similar confidentiality and security obligations. Examples of categories and current providers include:
We currently use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our Site. This service may collect anonymized usage data through cookies.
We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. We do not currently engage in cross-context behavioral advertising or build remarketing audiences from our website visitors. If we engage in such activity in the future, we will:
We may share information with professional advisors (accountants, auditors, attorneys), government or licensing authorities when required by law, by subpoena or court order, or to protect our legal rights. We may also share information with successor entities in connection with a merger, dissolution, or organizational restructure.
Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
We use the Osano Cookie Consent Manager to manage your cookie preferences. When you first visit our Site, you will see a consent banner. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the Osano cookie icon on any page. We honor browser-level Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as automatic opt-out requests where applicable.
We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with legal and tax obligations, and to maintain accurate organizational records. Typical retention periods:
TIKVA operates internationally, with program activities in Colombia and a global donor base. When you interact with our Site or the organization, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States, Colombia, and the jurisdictions where our service providers operate. The privacy laws of these countries may differ from the privacy laws of your country.
For transfers of personal information from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland to other countries, we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or other appropriate safeguards. By interacting with the organization, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred internationally for the purposes described in this policy.
Depending on where you reside, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information.
Lawful basis for processing (GDPR): we process personal information based on your consent (for marketing communications and non-essential cookies), the performance of a contract (donations, trip participation), our legitimate interests (operating the organization, responding to inquiries, communicating with supporters), and legal obligations (tax and accounting recordkeeping).
To exercise any of your rights, contact us using one of the methods below:
We will verify your identity before responding to a request involving specific personal information. We aim to respond within 30 days for GDPR/UK GDPR/Colombian requests and within 45 days for CCPA requests. If we need more time, we will notify you and may extend as permitted by law.
Authorized agents (CCPA): you may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. We will require the agent to provide written, signed authorization from you and verify your identity directly.
Our Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. Where minors are involved in organizational activities or programs, registration is completed by a parent or guardian, who provides the child's name, age, and any other information needed for the safe operation of the activity.
We follow the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and California's protections for minors. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16. For visitors from the European Economic Area, we do not knowingly process the personal data of children under 16 (or the age of digital consent in their country, as applicable) without parental consent.
TIKVA serves women and children in crisis in Colombia. Personal information about the children we serve is handled under separate program-level confidentiality protections and is not part of the data flows described in this policy.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information, with heightened protections for information about the women and children we serve. Our service providers maintain their own security measures. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Notify us immediately if you suspect a security issue with your account or information.
Our Site may link to third-party websites and services, including but not limited to donation platforms, social media, partner organization sites, and similar third parties we may add or change over time. The privacy practices of any linked third party are governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.
TIKVA exists to support women and children in crisis in Colombia and to mobilize a global community of supporters who make the work possible. Information you share with us as part of organizational participation is used to support that mission. We will not knowingly use personal information in ways inconsistent with our calling or your trust.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page with a revised Last Updated date. Material changes will be communicated by a notice on our Site or by email where appropriate.
