Privacy Policy
What we collect, why we collect it, and how it's protected.
Last updated: 27 August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how NGO Desk and its Donation Management System (DMS) (together, the "Platform") collect, use, and protect the personal data of NGOs, donors, volunteers, and staff users on our donation management platform. It applies wherever you interact with the Platform — the public website, donor, volunteer, and NGO registration forms, online payments, and the DMS dashboard itself.
Quick answers
- Does NGO Desk store my card number? No — card payments are handled directly by our payment processor (Safepay); we only ever receive the payment result and amount. See Information we collect.
- Who can see my CNIC or ID document? Only the specific NGO you registered with, and authorized platform administrators — never other NGOs or third parties. See How we share it.
- Does NGO Desk use tracking or advertising cookies? We use a first-party session cookie plus privacy-conscious analytics (Microsoft Clarity, and Google Analytics/Tag Manager where an NGO enables it) — never third-party advertising cookies. See Cookies & tracking technologies.
- Can I request my data be deleted? Yes — contact us via the Inquiry page. Some records (e.g. completed donations) may be retained for accounting purposes. See Your rights.

01 Information we collect
| Who | What we collect |
|---|---|
| Donors | Full name, email, WhatsApp/phone number, address, CNIC (national ID) number and a copy of the CNIC document, and a screenshot/proof of payment when registering a sponsorship. |
| Volunteers | Full name, email, phone number, profession, date of birth, a copy of your ID document, and your stated purpose for volunteering, collected when you apply through an NGO's volunteer registration page. |
| NGOs | Organization name, contact email and phone, address, logo, package/plan selection, and — if provided — a payment proof for the subscription fee. |
| Card donors | When paying by card, your name, email, and card details are collected directly by our payment processor (Safepay) — we never see or store your full card number. |
| Everyone | Basic technical data such as IP address and browser information, used for security, error logging, and to detect your approximate country so we can display donation amounts in your local currency. |
02 How we use it
We use this information to verify donor, volunteer, and NGO identity; process and record donations, sponsorships, and volunteer applications; activate and bill NGO subscriptions; send account and transactional emails (welcome emails, password resets, subscription reminders, donation confirmations, volunteer approval notices); respond to messages submitted through our Inquiry page and live chat; and to prevent fraud and abuse of the Platform.
04 Storage & security
Uploaded documents (CNIC copies, volunteer ID documents, payment proofs, logos) and account data are stored on secured servers with access restricted to authorized platform administrators and the relevant NGO's own staff. Passwords are stored using industry-standard hashing, never in plain text, and two-factor authentication is available for DMS accounts that want an extra layer of login security. As with any online service, no method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, but we take reasonable, industry-standard measures to protect your information.
05 Your rights
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by reaching out through our Inquiry page. Some information — such as records of a completed donation — may need to be retained for accounting and accountability purposes even after a deletion request.
07 Children's privacy & beneficiary records
The Platform is intended for use by NGOs, donors, and volunteers aged 18 and over. Beneficiary records — orphans, widows, institutions, and similar sponsorship categories an NGO supports — may include minors' information, entered and managed entirely by the NGO responsible for their care under its own safeguarding obligations; NGO Desk does not independently collect this data from the public.
08 Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
