Establishing Legal Boundaries
PearLight Empowerment Foundation may collect various types of personal information depending on your interaction with us. This includes, but is not limited to, names, contact details, and dates of birth for individuals; school information, family data, and attendance records for program participants; payment details and organizational information for donors or partners; and resumes, background checks, and emergency contact information for volunteers and staff members.
We use the collected data for specific and legitimate purposes. These include delivering our educational and hygiene programs, communicating program updates and opportunities, processing donations and issuing receipts, fulfilling legal and reporting obligations such as grant compliance, and assessing and improving the quality of our services. The legal basis for processing personal information is determined by the nature of the data and the purpose of collection. We may rely on explicit consent, such as when individuals voluntarily fill out forms; on legitimate interest, for instance, to administer programs or track participation; or on legal obligations, including those related to child protection or financial reporting.
PearLight Empowerment Foundation does not sell or rent personal data under any circumstances. However, we may share limited personal data with trusted partners, funders, or regulatory authorities strictly for the purpose of delivering our programs, conducting audits, or fulfilling compliance requirements. All such sharing is conducted under confidentiality agreements and on a need-to-know basis only.
Data is stored securely both physically and digitally. Only authorized personnel have access to personal information, and security protocols include encrypted digital storage, password-protected systems, and locked file cabinets.
Special care is taken when handling children’s data. In such cases, consent is obtained from a parent or legal guardian, and all data is used strictly for administrative and safety-related purposes within our programs.

Once data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized. PearLight Empowerment Foundation may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect operational changes or comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
