We use collected data for purposes such as:

We may share your information under certain circumstances, including:

  • With service providers / partners — third parties who help us operate the Service (e.g. payment gateways, hosting, analytics) under confidentiality agreements.

  • With schools, institutions, or project partners — to facilitate fundraising, verification, or reporting.

  • With other users — limited data as needed (e.g. project details that you make public).

  • For legal reasons — when required by law, regulation, or court order, or to protect rights, privacy, safety, or property of FundMe, users, or the public.

We will not sell or rent your personal information to unaffiliated third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

4. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption, secure servers, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or to comply with legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. When no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not intended for users under the age of [typically 13 or 16, depending on jurisdiction]. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under this age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a child, we will delete it. If you believe we have, contact us.

8. International Transfers

Your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than where you reside. In such cases, we ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses, compliance with relevant privacy laws) are in place.
