PRIVACY POLICY




We take protection of personal data very seriously. Here you will find all information in detail.

THE PROTECTION OF YOUR DATA IS IMPORTANT TO US

OUR PRIVACY POLICY EXPLAINS OUR PRACTISES RELATED TO PERSONAL DATA PRIVACY AND SECURITY

PERSONAL DATA

With this privacy policy, REFORM assures all of its beneficiaries, partners, website users, and sponsors that all personal data is being collected for professional sakes. This data will not be traded to any other individuals, organizations, and/or companies.

In case there was a need to contract an external service provider for maintenance purposes, a separate agreement with this service provider will be concluded. This is to ensure the safe use of the data in accordance with the service agreement objectives.

The security of our IT systems is very essential to us. For instance, the database for processing data related to our donation service is hosted by Kualo. If you have any inquiries or suggestions with regard to the use of your data, please contact us by e-mail.

MEMBERS' AND PARTNERS’ DATA

If you are a donor/partner, or a member, all your needed personal and related information – including name, phone numbers, birth date, citizenship locations, bank details, etc. - will be documented and kept within REFORM’s IT system and will be given a reference number. Processing these data is important for documenting our regular and contractual relationships and is a lawful process that helps promote REFORM’s transparency.

APPLICATIONS FOR JOB VACANCIES

In case you are applying for a job vacancy at REFORM, we will collect your personal information, contact details, C.V, etc. By submitting your application, the time of submission and the IP address are recorded.

By submitting your application, you agree that we may contact you for that position or any other similar position. However, this does not necessarily mean that you have applied automatically to other positions.
