Beit el Baraka respects and is committed to protecting the privacy of all our donors, beneficiaries, partners, and users of our websites (beitelbaraka.org, beitelbaraka.net, and related platforms).

This Privacy Policy explains how Beit el Baraka collects, uses, discloses, and securely stores personal information collected through our online platforms and offline engagements such as donations, events, or volunteer activities.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

You may visit Beit el Baraka’s websites without revealing any personal information about yourself. Our websites automatically collect technical information such as domain names, IP addresses, and browser types. This aggregate data does not identify individual users and is used solely to understand website traffic and improve performance.

In some instances, you may choose to provide personal information, such as when:
• Subscribing to our newsletters
• Making a donation
• Registering for an event or volunteer opportunity

In these cases, Beit el Baraka uses secure and encrypted methods to process and store your data. When making online donations, your payment is processed through trusted third-party providers, and Beit el Baraka does not store your credit card or banking details.

Your personal information may be stored in our secure databases to help us maintain contact with supporters, share updates about our programs, or invite you to participate in our initiatives.

Beit el Baraka does not rent, share, or sell any contact information (address, phone number, or email) to third parties.

Some of our digital services may be hosted or managed by third-party providers located outside Lebanon. In such cases, we take appropriate steps to ensure that your data remains secure and protected.

• Request deletion of your information from our databases
• Unsubscribe from our newsletters or mailing lists

Security Procedures

We take precautions to protect your information both online and offline.
• All sensitive information transmitted through our websites (such as donation details) is
encrypted and sent over secure connections (HTTPS).
• Only authorized employees who require access to perform specific duties are permitted to
view personal information.
• Physical files, when applicable, are stored in secured locations.

Please note that while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Any information sent to us by email may not be fully protected during transmission.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal and operational requirements. Once no longer needed, data is securely deleted.

Children’s Privacy

Our websites and activities are not directed toward children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If such information is identified, it will be deleted promptly.
