3.2 Information we collect automatically
When you visit the Website, we may automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, browser type and version, device information, operating system, the pages you view, the links you click, the referring website, and the date, time, and duration of your visit. This information helps us operate, secure, and improve the Website.

3.3 Information from third parties
We may receive information about you from third parties such as our payment processor (confirmation of a completed donation), analytics providers, or social media platforms if you choose to interact with us through them. We combine this information with the information we collect directly, and we handle it in accordance with this Policy.

Where required by applicable law, we will honor opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC). Because there is no uniform industry standard for "Do Not Track" signals, the Website does not currently respond to them.

7. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: with trusted third parties who perform services on our behalf — such as payment processing, hosting, email delivery, and analytics — and who are bound to use it only for those purposes.
• Legal and regulatory: where we are required to do so by law, subpoena, court order, or a government authority, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
• Protection of rights and safety: where we reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent fraud, protect the safety of any person, or enforce our Terms of Use or this Policy.
• Organizational changes: in connection with a merger, restructuring, or transfer of our activities, in which case the recipient will be bound to protect your information consistent with this Policy.
• With your consent: in any other case, with your permission.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Online payments are processed through a secure, encrypted connection provided by our payment processor. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping any account or login details confidential.

9. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, to maintain proper records of donations, to comply with our legal, accounting, and tax obligations, and to resolve disputes. When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it securely.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

We want you to remain in control of your personal information. Depending on your state of residence, you may have some or all of the following rights, and we will honor them consistent with applicable law:

• Access: to request information about the personal data we hold about you;
• Correction: to request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Deletion: to request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal retention requirements;
• Opt-out of marketing: to unsubscribe from our newsletters and marketing emails at any time; and
• Non-discrimination: to not be treated unfairly for exercising any of these rights.

Several U.S. states have enacted consumer privacy laws that grant additional rights, such as the right to know what personal information is collected and how it is used and shared, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Some of these laws apply to nonprofit organizations and some do not. Regardless of whether a particular law applies to us, we aim to respect these rights, and as stated above, Sukh Trust does not sell your personal information. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 16. We will respond within the time required by applicable law, and we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

11. Consumer Health Data

If, in connection with our healthcare or wellness programs, we collect information relating to your health, we will handle it in accordance with applicable law, including the Washington My Health My Data Act where it applies. We will collect and share such information only with your consent or as otherwise permitted by law, and you may contact us at any time to access or delete it.

12. Children's Privacy

The Website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent, in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete such information promptly.

13. Links to Other Websites

The Website may contain links to external websites and services that we do not operate or control. This Policy does not apply to those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit, as we are not responsible for their content or practices.

14. Information Processing and Location

Sukh Trust operates in the United States, and the information we collect is processed and stored in the United States. If you are located outside the United States, please be aware that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the Website and providing your information, you consent to this transfer and processing.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
