1. Principles of Minimal Data Collection
Sneh – A Better World operates under the principle of data minimization. We collect only information that is strictly necessary to process your voluntary charitable donation, respond to a confidential assistance request, or process your volunteer application.
2. Donor Data & Income Tax Compliance (80G)
Under Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) notifications, NGOs issuing 80G tax receipts are required to collect the donor’s Permanent Account Number (PAN) and address for filing annual donation returns (Form 10BD). Sneh securely stores this data solely for statutory tax filing. We never sell, rent, or trade donor email addresses or phone numbers with any external marketing agency.
3. Confidentiality of Beneficiary & Help Requests
All help requests submitted through our Need Help portal are treated with medical and legal-grade confidentiality. Only authorized case coordinators with verified background clearance are granted access. We do not publish real names, exact street addresses, or identifiable images of sensitive beneficiaries without explicit, written, informed consent.
4. Data Principal Rights & Grievance Redressal
You retain the right to review, update, or request the deletion of your personal contact data from our active records. For any privacy queries or data withdrawal, contact our Data Grievance Officer at grievance@snehbetterworld.org.
