Privacy policy

1Introduction

This privacy policy explains how the Nemat Qasemi Foundation collects, uses, and protects personal information when you visit our websites, contact us, or apply for support.

We handle personal information with care and only for the purposes described here. If you have questions, please contact us using the details at the end of this policy.

2Information we collect

We collect information you choose to provide, including your name, email address, phone number, and the contents of messages or applications.

When you use the contact form, your details are sent to our team by email so we can respond to your inquiry.

When you submit an application for support, we collect the information in that form so we can review eligibility and administer our programs.

We also collect limited technical data needed to operate the websites, such as your language preference and standard server logs (for example, IP address, browser type, and pages requested).

3How we use information

We use personal information to respond to inquiries, review applications, administer educational and humanitarian programs, improve our websites, and meet legal or reporting obligations.

We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not sell personal data.

4How we share information

We do not share personal information with external parties except where necessary to operate our programs, comply with the law, or protect the safety of individuals.

Service providers who host our websites or process email may process information on our behalf, and only as needed to provide those services.

5Cookies and language preference

We use a language-preference cookie so the websites can remember whether you selected English or Dari.

This cookie is not required to use the sites; you can change language at any time. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies.

6How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as needed to respond to you, administer a program, or meet record-keeping and legal requirements.

When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it where reasonably possible.

7Information about children

Our programs support students and families, including minors. We may receive information about children when a parent, guardian, or school submits an application or inquiry.

We use that information only to administer the relevant program and handle it with additional care. Please do not submit a child’s information unless you are authorized to do so.

8Your choices

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, subject to legal and operational requirements.

To make a request, contact us at info@nq-foundation.org or through our contact page. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling the request.

9Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page shows when the latest version took effect.

Please review this page periodically so you remain informed about how we handle personal information.
