Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Muryar Matasa Initiative (MMI) values your trust and is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines how we handle personal data collected through our website, newsletters, volunteer submissions, vendor forms, and donation channels.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with our platforms, we may collect the following information:

• Contact Information: Full name, email address, phone number, and mailing address.
• Volunteer Profiles: Skills, availability, city, state, CV/motivation texts, and references.
• Vendor Registry: Business name, CAC registration number, vendor catalogs, and bank account numbers for payments.
• Financial Transactions: Email addresses and donor names (payment processing itself is done securely through external gateways, we do not store raw card PINs or security details).

3. How We Use Your Information

MMI utilizes your data exclusively to support NGO objectives, including:

• Processing online donations, sending receipts, and tax-exempt acknowledgments.
• Evaluating applications for volunteer opportunities and assigning tasks.
• Procuring equipment from registered vendors and processing billing invoices.
• Distributing newsletters and program updates to subscribed users.
• Responding to comments, inquiries, and complaints submitted through contact forms.

4. Data Protection and Security

We implement industry-standard administrative and digital safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure of user data. Access to donor, vendor, and volunteer spreadsheets is restricted to authorized administrative executives on a need-to-know basis.

5. Third-Party Sharing

MMI does not sell, lease, or distribute your personal details to commercial third parties. We only share details with external processors (such as secure payment gateway integrations or email delivery services) to fulfill standard transactions, or when legally compelled by Nigerian regulatory authorities.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to request access to the personal data we store, request modifications, or ask to be unsubscribed from our newsletter lists or volunteer databases. Please email our data compliance team at privacy@muryarmatasa.org.
