Happy Sabbath ("we," "us," or "our") operates happy-sabbath.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, use our donation form, subscribe to our newsletter, submit a contact form, or write for us, and how we use, share, and protect that information.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide to us:
- Donations. When you give through our donation form, we collect your name, email address, and donation amount. Card and payment details are entered directly into Paystack, our payment processor — we do not receive or store your full card number.
- Newsletter. If you subscribe to updates, we collect your email address through Mailchimp.
- Contact forms. If you message us or submit a "Write for Us" inquiry, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we use Google Analytics to collect standard usage data such as pages visited, time on site, approximate location, browser type, and device type. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you.
Cookies. We use cookies for basic site functionality and for analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; some features of the Site may not work as intended if you do.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To process your donation and send you a receipt or confirmation.
- To respond to messages you send us.
- To send newsletter updates, only if you've subscribed — you can unsubscribe at any time.
- To understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it.
- To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or technical issues.
4. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so while we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Data Retention
We keep donor and contact information for as long as needed to provide our services, maintain accurate records, and meet legal or accounting obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized.
6. Your Rights and Choices
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to unsubscribe from our newsletter, at any time by contacting us using the details below.
7. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
