1. Information We May Collect
Depending on how you interact with Oyetty Foundation, we may collect information such as your name, telephone number, email address, location, contact details and information submitted through our website forms.
Where necessary for our programmes and support activities, we may also collect information relating to parents, caregivers and their families. Some information may be sensitive and will be handled with additional care and only where there is an appropriate reason and lawful basis for doing so.
We may also collect information relating to donations, volunteering, programme participation, enquiries and communications with Oyetty Foundation.

We may use personal information to provide support and services to parents and families; manage our programmes, mentorship and community initiatives; respond to enquiries and requests; process and acknowledge donations; coordinate volunteers and partners; communicate relevant updates; improve our programmes and website; maintain appropriate organisational records; and comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
We will only process personal information where we have an appropriate lawful basis for doing so.
3. Information About Children
Because Oyetty Foundation supports parents and caregivers raising children with special needs, some of our activities may involve information relating to children.
We recognise that children’s information requires particular care. Where such information is required, we will seek to collect only what is reasonably necessary for the relevant programme or support activity and handle it responsibly in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
Where consent is required, we will seek appropriate consent from a parent, guardian or other authorised person.
4. Photographs, Videos and Stories
Oyetty Foundation may document its programmes, outreach activities and impact through photographs, videos, interviews and personal stories.
Where appropriate, we will seek permission before using identifiable photographs, videos or personal stories for our website, social media, reports, fundraising materials or other communications.
We take particular care when content involves children or sensitive family circumstances.
5. Donations and Payment Information
When you make a donation, certain information may be required to process or record your contribution.
Where donations are processed through a third-party payment provider, that provider may collect and process payment information in accordance with its own privacy and security practices.
Oyetty Foundation will not intentionally request or store complete payment-card details where these are handled directly by an authorised payment provider.
6. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or trade personal information.
We may share information with trusted service providers, programme partners, professional advisers or relevant authorities where this is necessary to operate our programmes, administer the Foundation, provide requested services or comply with legal obligations.
Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that information is handled appropriately.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
Access to personal information should be limited to authorised persons who require it for legitimate Foundation activities.
However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
8. How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including programme administration, safeguarding, reporting, accounting and legal or regulatory requirements.
When information is no longer reasonably required, we will take appropriate steps to securely delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of it.
