Overview
Somali Eye Health Alliance (SEHA) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it and how we use and protect it. Where we process personal data we aim to follow best international practices and local law.

- Donation information (amount, method, transaction id) needed to acknowledge and reconcile gifts.
- Technical information (IP address, browser, device) to help operate and secure our website.

How we use personal data
We use personal information for limited purposes:

Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose collected and to meet legal or accounting obligations (e.g. donation records). After that we delete or anonymise data.
Security
