🔐 1. Our Commitment to Privacy and Security

SAVETS is built on the principles of confidentiality, trust, and security. We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties—ever.

🔹 2. Information We Collect

SAVETS is designed to minimize the collection of personal data. However, in certain cases, we may collect the following only when voluntarily provided:

  • Basic account details (e.g., username or email address for login or contact)
  • Non-personal technical data (e.g., IP address or browser type for system diagnostics)
  • Communications (e.g., messages you send through SAVETS or to our support team)

🔒 No sensitive data (e.g., health records, financial data, or military service records) is required or stored by default.

🔹 3. How We Use Your Information

Any data collected is used solely to:

  • Provide access to SAVETS services
  • Communicate important updates (e.g., security notices)
  • Improve system reliability and platform performance

We do not use your information for advertising or profiling.

🔹 4. Data Protection and Security Systems

SAVETS uses industry-leading systems to safeguard all information:

  • End-to-End Encryption for all communications (TLS/SSL protocols)
  • Secure Hosting Infrastructure on trusted U.S.-based servers (e.g., AWS GovCloud or equivalent)
  • Firewall and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to monitor unauthorized access attempts
  • Zero-knowledge policy for messages exchanged within the platform (we cannot access private chats)
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for admin and backend access
  • Regular Security Audits to ensure compliance with evolving cybersecurity standards

🔹 5. Data Storage and Retention

  • We retain data only as long as necessary for operational or legal purposes.
  • Inactive or deleted accounts will have associated data removed or anonymized after [specify time period, e.g., 90 days].
  • Users may request deletion of their data at any time by emailing [privacy@savets.org].

🔹 6. Third-Party Tools and Integrations

SAVETS does not integrate with external ad networks or data brokers.

If we use any third-party services (e.g., secure donation processors, email platforms), they are vetted for nonprofit compliance and data protection, and bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

🔹 7. Your Rights

As a user of SAVETS, you have the right to:

  • Access a copy of any personal data we may hold
