• Razorpay, to process donations securely
• Service providers who help us operate this website or send communications, bound by confidentiality obligations
• Regulators or authorities, where required by law

Data retention

We retain donor and contact information for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes above, including statutory recordkeeping and audit requirements for a registered charitable trust, and delete or anonymise it thereafter.
