Swaqina for Development & Reconstruction (“Swaqina,” “we,” “our,” or “the Organization”) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization operating in Sudan. We are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all individuals we engage with, including beneficiaries, partners, donors, employees, and community members.
This Privacy Policy applies to data collected directly by Swaqina offices and staff in Sudan, information provided by beneficiaries, donors, partners, and volunteers, as well as data gathered through our website, digital platforms, or community outreach activities.
We may collect: Personal Identification Data (name, gender, date of birth, ID/passport, contact details), Demographic Data (household size, education, income, disability status), Health & Social Data (medical needs, legal status, war-affected conditions), Donor & Partner Data, and Technical Data (IP address, browser type, usage statistics).
We collect information to deliver humanitarian and development services, coordinate with government and legal bodies, process donor contributions, conduct research and program evaluation, and comply with Sudanese law.
We respect confidentiality and do not sell or trade data. Information may be shared only with authorized staff, government bodies when required, partner NGOs and donors (with anonymization when possible), and service providers assisting beneficiaries.
Personal data is retained only as long as necessary. Once no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.
We implement safeguards including secure storage, limited access to authorized personnel, and regular reviews of data protection measures.
Beneficiaries, donors, and stakeholders have rights to request access, correction, deletion (where permissible), and withdraw consent for optional processing.
If data is shared with international partners, it will be handled according to this Privacy Policy and international standards.
Swaqina may revise this Privacy Policy periodically. Updated versions will be made available through offices, community announcements, or the official website.
