Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 10 October 2026

At Mulakaat Foundation, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and protected when you visit or interact with https://mulakaatfoundation.in.

By using our website, you agree to the practices described below.

Who We Are

Our website is operated by Mulakaat Foundation.

Website: https://mulakaatfoundation.in

We use this website to share information about our social initiatives, activities, campaigns, donation programs, and opportunities to support our work.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our website, we may collect the information provided in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent information.

This information may be used to help detect spam, misuse, or suspicious activity.

An anonymized version of your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use the service. Gravatar’s privacy policy is available on its website.

After a comment is approved, the profile picture associated with your Gravatar account may be publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images or other media to our website, please avoid uploading files containing embedded location information, such as EXIF GPS data, unless you are comfortable sharing that information.

Visitors may be able to download publicly available media and, depending on the file, access embedded information.

Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality, security, and user experience.

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website information in cookies for your convenience. These cookies may remain for up to one year.

If you visit a login page, a temporary cookie may be used to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal information and is normally removed when you close your browser.

If you log in to an account, cookies may be used to remember your login information and display preferences. Login-related cookies may remain for a limited period depending on the website settings.

If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie may be stored to identify the content you edited. This cookie does not contain personal information and generally expires after a short period.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website features.

Analytics, Advertising and Donation Measurement

We use the following third-party services to understand how our website is used, to measure donations that come from our online campaigns, and to show our appeals to people who have visited our website:

• Google Analytics 4 (loaded through Google Tag Manager), including Google signals, remarketing audiences, and demographics and interests reporting.
• Google Ads conversion tracking, remarketing and enhanced conversions.
• Meta Pixel and Meta Conversions API (Facebook and Instagram).

What these services collect: the pages you visit, how you reached our website, device and browser information, an approximate location based on your IP address, and actions you take on the website, such as choosing a donation amount, starting a donation and completing a donation (including the amount and a payment reference number). Your card, UPI or bank details are not sent to these services.

Cookies and identifiers: we and these providers use first-party cookies (such as Google Analytics cookies) together with third-party cookies and identifiers (such as Google and Meta advertising cookies) to measure visits and donations, to report on the demographics and interests of our visitors, and to show our ads to people who have visited our website, including on other websites and apps. With Google signals turned on, Google may associate this data with information from the Google accounts of signed-in users who have turned on ads personalisation. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Email address and mobile number (hashed): when you make a donation, the email address and mobile number you enter are converted in your browser into a one-way code (a SHA-256 hash) before being sent to Google Ads. Google uses this code only to match the donation to an ad that was clicked and to measure our campaigns. Your email address and mobile number are not sent to Google in readable form. If you choose to donate anonymously, this information is not sent.

Meta: the Meta Pixel and Meta Conversions API send the visit and donation information described above, together with a coded (hashed) visitor ID, to Meta, which may link it to your Facebook or Instagram account to measure our ads and show you our appeals.

How to opt out: you can turn off personalised ads from Google in Google Ads Settings and stop Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. On mobile devices, you can reset or turn off your advertising ID in your device settings. For Facebook and Instagram, you can change your ad preferences in your Meta account settings. You can also opt out of interest-based ads from many companies on the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page, and you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Our website may contain embedded content such as videos, images, articles, social-media content, maps, or other third-party services.

Embedded content from other websites may operate in the same way as if you had visited the third-party website directly.

These third-party services may collect information about your interaction, use cookies, or apply their own tracking technologies. Their data practices are governed by their respective privacy policies.

Donation and Payment Information

If you choose to make a donation through our website, you may be asked to provide information such as your name, email address, mobile number, billing details, or other information required to process the donation.

Where payments are processed through a third-party payment gateway, your payment information may be handled directly by that payment service provider. Mulakaat Foundation does not intend to store complete card, banking, or other sensitive payment credentials on its website.

Payment providers may have their own privacy policies and terms that apply to transactions processed through their platforms.

How We Use Your Information

Information collected through our website may be used to:

• Process and acknowledge donations
• Respond to enquiries and requests
• Provide information about our activities and campaigns
• Maintain donation and communication records
• Improve our website and services
• Prevent spam, fraud, and misuse
• Maintain website security
• Meet applicable legal and administrative requirements

We aim to collect and use only information that is reasonably necessary for these purposes.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell or rent your personal information for commercial purposes.

Information may be shared with trusted service providers where necessary to operate our website, process donations, communicate with supporters, maintain security, or comply with legal requirements.

For example, donation-related information may be processed by payment service providers involved in completing your transaction.

We also share website usage and donation information with Google and Meta for analytics and advertising measurement, as described under “Analytics, Advertising and Donation Measurement” above.

We may also disclose information where required by applicable law, legal proceedings, government authorities, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our organisation, users, or others.

How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including donation records, administrative requirements, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and security purposes.

Comments and their associated metadata may be retained for an extended period to help us recognize and manage follow-up comments.

Where users create an account, the information provided in their profile may be retained until the account is deleted or the information is no longer required.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request information about the personal data we hold about you
• Request a copy of your personal information
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion of personal information where legally permitted
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

These rights may be subject to legal, administrative, security, or record-keeping requirements.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam-detection services.

Information submitted through forms, donations, or other website features may also be processed by third-party service providers that help us operate the website or provide requested services.

Such providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable laws.

Data Security

Mulakaat Foundation takes reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or loss.

However, no website or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should therefore understand that information transmitted online carries some level of risk.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate consent or authorization.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate permission, please contact us so that we can review and take appropriate action.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, services, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised Last Updated date.
