How AWEDO approaches privacy, confidentiality and responsible handling of personal information submitted through its public website and programs.
AWEDO aims to collect and handle only information reasonably needed for a legitimate organizational purpose and to protect sensitive information from unnecessary access or disclosure.
Do not submit unnecessary identity documents, medical details, passwords, verification codes or other sensitive information through ordinary public forms.
Information should be used for the purpose for which it was collected and accessed only by personnel who need it for that purpose.
Reasonable technical and organizational measures should protect records, and data should not be retained longer than justified by operational, legal, donor or accountability requirements.
Information sent through public forms or email may pass through third-party hosting or email infrastructure. Ordinary web forms and email should not be treated as secure emergency or anonymous reporting channels.
Program information involving women, children, survivors or other at-risk people should be handled with heightened confidentiality and do-no-harm considerations. Public communications should avoid unnecessary identifying details.
For privacy-related questions, contact info@awedo.org. Where appropriate and legally possible, individuals may ask how information about them is being used or request correction of inaccurate records.
