PRIVACY POLICY

 

Indic Heritage Foundation has invested in the conservation of a unique collection of sites spanning the entire India.

Many of our supporters choose to focus their generosity on projects that have a personal resonance for them. We honor that generosity by managing their gifts to produce the maximum benefit to the site and the community surrounding it. We are pleased to offer detailed financial statements that document our expenditures upon request.

The nature of our work is seasonal, and our engagement in each site is time-limited. Thus IHF may apply project-designated gifts to defray costs incurred at any point during our stewardship of a particular site, including costs which may have been incurred prior to the receipt of a project-designated gift .

IHF has two goals—to support the preservation of specific heritage sites, and to educate and inspire the public about the importance of preserving these irreplaceable sites. So that we may meet both of these goals, twenty percent of project-designated gifts will be applied toward core operating support unless otherwise specified by the donor and accepted by IHF. This provision allows us to honor the intent and passion of our generous donors, while ensuring the continued strength and success of IHF. Due to the high cost of managing designated funding, donations of less than INR 5,000 will be considered unrestricted unless they are received in response to a specific project campaign, or the restrictions are accepted by IHF on a case-by-case basis.

If you have any questions or concerns about your gift or our policy, please contact us at indicheritagefoundation@gmail.com. In order to receive IHF’s communications, individuals must voluntarily provide us with contact information (such as a name and e-mail address) and the permission to send them materials electronically. All online event registration and newsletter signups is transmitted via third-party applications to Indic Heritage Foundation’s database using encryption technology.

We may use this information for specific, limited purposes, such as sending you newsletters; informing you of updates in our projects and programs; and soliciting donations. Indic Heritage Foundation will not share or sell a registrant’s personal information to any other entity, nor will Indic Heritage Foundation send our registrants communications in any form on behalf of other organizations.

We use your personal information to provide you with e-mail newsletters; to send e-mail alerts to you regarding our work and other activities; to answer your queries; to collect data regarding website traffic (e.g. analytics); to solicit donations; etc. We keep your personal information as accurate, complete, and up to date as is required to fulfill the purpose(s) for which you provided us with your personal information. Upon request in writing we will remove your personal information from our databases, except where legislation or regulation requires our retention of it (for example, charitable giving history tied to income tax receipts.) We may update this privacy policy from time to time, so please review it periodically.
