How Demo Donations handles personal information

This notice explains how DEMO SITE uses personal information in the Demo Donations platform.

Information we process

We process information needed to administer donations and Section 18A receipts, including donor identity and contact details, tax identification details, donation and project records, receipt history, user account information, and security and audit records.

Why we use it

We use this information to record and reconcile donations, issue and deliver receipts, maintain donor records, prepare statutory reports and SARS submissions, protect the platform, and keep an accountable audit trail.

Google Sign-In data

If you choose Continue with Google, the platform receives your Google account identifier, verified email address, and email-verification status. It uses this information only to authenticate you and match your email to a pre-authorised Demo Donations account. The platform does not request access to your Gmail, Google Drive, contacts, or calendar. The account email and related security events may be retained in account and audit records; Google Sign-In data is not sold.

Who may receive it

Access is limited to authorised users and service providers supporting secure hosting, databases, file storage, authentication, and email delivery. Information may also be disclosed to SARS or another authority where required by law.

Storage and protection

We use access controls, authentication safeguards, encryption where appropriate, and activity logging. Records are kept only for as long as required by applicable law and the Trust’s approved retention practices.

Your choices and rights

You may ask to access or correct your personal information, or raise a privacy concern. Some records cannot be deleted while the Trust is legally required to retain them.
