At YouVol, safeguarding the personal data of our users is a top priority. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and in compliance with relevant data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This policy outlines how we protect, process, and store your personal information to ensure it remains secure.

1. Data Collection and Usage

We collect only the data necessary for the operation of our platform, such as your name, contact details, and volunteering preferences. This information is used to facilitate your participation in volunteering opportunities, connect you with relevant projects, and improve our services. We will never collect more data than is required for these purposes, and we ensure that all data is processed fairly and transparently.

2. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely on encrypted servers and is protected by industry-standard security measures to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or damage. We regularly review and update our security protocols to ensure the ongoing protection of your information. Access to your data is restricted to authorized personnel who are bound by confidentiality agreements and data protection policies.

3. User Rights and Data Management

You have full control over your personal data. You can request access to your data, update any inaccurate information, or request the deletion of your account and associated data at any time. Additionally, you may request to restrict or object to how your data is processed. To exercise any of these rights, please contact our data protection team at [Insert Contact Information]. We will respond to all requests in a timely manner and in accordance with legal obligations.

4. Data Retention and Third-Party Access

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. In some cases, we may share limited personal information with trusted partners to facilitate volunteering opportunities. However, we do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes, and any data shared with partners is protected under strict data-sharing agreements.
