Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 6, 2026

This notice describes information handled through the Kuvuna Foundation website. For privacy questions, contact info@kuvuna.org.

Contacting the foundation

The contact form asks for your name, email address, subject, and message. We use this information to receive and respond to your inquiry. Email update requests send your email address to our team for follow-up; submitting a request does not automatically subscribe you to a mailing list. Please do not include payment card details or other sensitive information in a message.

Donations

Stripe processes donations on its secure checkout page. This website does not receive or store your full payment card number. Payment confirmations include information such as the donation amount, payment status, and the email address you provide, which we use to confirm your donation and send a thank-you message. When you request contribution management links, we use your email to find matching Stripe customer records and send private, short-lived access links to the addresses on those records. We do not display matching donor details on the request page.

Services that support this website

Vercel hosts this website and provides website analytics and performance measurements. Resend delivers contact requests and donation emails. Stripe processes payments, stores monthly contribution and payment-method records, and provides the secure contribution management portal. These providers handle information needed to deliver their services and may process it in countries other than your own.

Learn more in the privacy notices for Vercel, Resend, and Stripe.

Security records and retention

To limit abusive requests, we use short-lived counters based on a hashed network address. The counters expire after ten minutes. We also keep email delivery identifiers with the donation record in Stripe to prevent duplicate thank-you emails. Contact messages and donation records may also remain in the foundation’s email and payment systems.

Your requests and choices

You can ask our team about access, corrections, deletion, retention, or stopping email updates by contacting info@kuvuna.org. Some donation records may need to be retained for accounting or other applicable obligations. The rights available to you depend on the laws that apply to your situation.
