1. Introduction
The Nourish African Children Organization (“NACO,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, contact us, or support our work, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.
2. Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you fill out our contact form, email us, call us, or inquire about donating or volunteering, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, the reason for your message, and anything else you choose to share.
Donation information. At this time, donations begin with an email or phone inquiry. If you donate, we may keep a record of your name, contact details, gift amount, and the program you chose to support. When online payments are added to this site, they will be handled by a secure third-party payment processor. NACO will not store full card numbers on this website.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we may collect basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This is collected through cookies and similar tools.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Respond to your questions and messages
- Process, record, and acknowledge donations
- Coordinate volunteers and partnerships
- Send updates about our work, if you have asked to receive them
- Understand how people use our website so we can improve it
- Meet legal and record-keeping obligations
We do not sell your personal information.
4. How We Share Information
We only share your information when necessary:
- Service providers who help us run our website, email, or payment processing, and who are required to protect your data
- Legal requirements, if we are required to disclose information by law or to protect our rights and the safety of others
- With your consent, for example, if you agree to let us share your story
5. Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use cookies to keep the site working properly and to understand how visitors use it. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Turning cookies off may affect how some parts of the site work.
6. Photos, Videos, and Stories of Children and Communities
NACO is committed to treating the children and families we serve with dignity. We share photos, videos, and testimonials only with appropriate permission from the individuals involved or, for children, their parents or guardians. If you believe an image or story on this site was shared without proper permission, contact us, and we will review and remove it promptly.
7. Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No website or method of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop us from contacting you. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
