THE IFS FOUNDATION, HELPING BREAK THE POVERTY CYCLE IN RURAL SRI LANKA

The IFS Foundation is a group of independent, charitable organizations investing
in a series of projects in partnership with local Sri Lankan communities to
alleviate poverty. These projects address five key issues: access to healthcare,

Information about who we are

The IFS Foundation, as we are using that term in this Notice, is a group of
independent charities who share certain policies and practices including those
outlined in this notice.  Depending on where you reside, you will be interacting
with one or more of these independent charities:  IFS Foundation (UK)
(Registered Charity Number: 1191843), a  Charitable Incorporated Organisation
formed under the law of England and Wales, with a registered Office at Bourne
House, Watermans Business Park, Staines-Upon-Thames TW18 3BA, UK; IFS Foundation

Dr. Danister de Silva Mawatha, Colombo 9, Sri Lanka. Further information and
details of our registration with data protection supervisory authorities are
detailed below.

How our website works

When you visit our website, we collect data on your location. This allows us to
direct you to the website of the IFS Foundation partner in your geographic
region if this is necessary to perform any of your requested actions.

We also use cookies on our website to collect standard internet log-on
information and details of visitor behavior patterns (e.g. to find out the
number of visitors to different parts of the site). This enables us to analyze
and improve the content of our site and the navigation experience of users. We
do not use this information to attempt to find out the identities of those
visiting our website. Some cookies on our site also permit third parties to
analyse visitor behavior to display advertising. These parties also do not use
this information to attempt to find out the identities of individuals. For full
details of the cookies used on our website, see our Cookies Notice at the end of
this policy and in the settings. You can disable or delete some or all cookies
in your browser setting, although this may affect some parts of the site’s
functionality.

The data we collect about you

There are a number of areas on our website where you may provide personal data
to IFS Foundation, including when you:

 * register for IFS Foundation email updates
 * sign an IFS Foundation petition
 * make a donation to the IFS Foundation or its partner
 * register to be involved in our campaigns

The information we collect will depend on the nature of your action but may
include name, email address, telephone number, country and language preference.
Where you make a donation through our website, we do not collect your financial
information but direct you to a payment provider to process your donation and
forward it on to IFS Foundation’s partner in Sri Lanka. Our payment provider is
certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield.

When you provide your information to us, we will only use the information for
the purposes for which it is provided, for any compatible purposes and to fulfil
our legal or regulatory obligations unless you have agreed for your data to be
used for other purposes.

When will we send you marketing communications?

We will only contact you for marketing purposes (for example keep you up to date
on our work based on your previous responses to our campaigns, or let you know
of ways in which you can support that work) where we have your consent.

At each place that you provide your personal data on our website, there is an
opportunity for you to express your preferences in relation to marketing
communications from us. Where you provide your consent to such communications,
you can withdraw consent or change your preferences at any time by clicking the
unsubscribe button on any marketing communication or by sending an email to
ifsfoundationprivacy@ifs.com expressing your preferences.

We will generally treat any marketing consent you give us as lasting for 5
years, as we have found our supporters may get involved with different campaigns
at different points over this period of time. We never sell or share your
information with entities outside of the IFS Foundation for their marketing
purposes. 

Links to other Affiliate websites

For some actions that you may like to take when visiting our website, you will
be redirected to the website of an IFS Foundation partner in your geographic
region. In these cases, that entity will collect your data rather than IFS
Foundation, and you should look at their Privacy Notice to understand how they
will use your data, and your rights. This includes where:

 * you make a donation in a region where there is an IFS Foundation partner;
 * apply for employment or to be a shop or festival volunteer; or
 * register to participate in a local campaign.

Who might we share your information with

We may share your information with other members of the IFS Foundation. We may
also share your information with third parties who process data on our behalf,
but only where we place obligations on them in relation to the security of the
data and require them to use the data only as we instruct.

International transfers of data

In some cases, we may transfer your personal data to members of the IFS
Foundation confederation and third-party service providers who are located
outside your jurisdiction.

If you are in the European Union, and your personal data is transferred to other
members of the members of the IFS Foundation or third-party service provider
outside the European Economic Area (EEA), this will occur under a safeguard
mechanism recognized by the European Commission as providing adequate protection
for your personal data.  Transfers to members of the IFS Foundation will occur
under the EC’s model data protection clauses.  You may ask to see a copy of
these clauses.

Transfers of your data to other third parties outside the EEA, or to third
parties outside any other jurisdiction in which you are located, will occur in
accordance with local data protection laws.

Your data and social media

This section refers to the ability for you to like, re-tweet, share, etc. IFS
Foundation content on social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram and YouTube. Additionally, when using our website, you can link
through to such social media sites. When you do this, depending on your privacy
settings, these networks will adjust their marketing to show you more IFS
Foundation content.  To change your settings on these services, please refer to
their privacy notices, which will tell you how to do this.

Children’s data

Our website is not intended for use by children and we do not knowingly collect
data on children.

IFS Foundation and social media

Many social media sites provide, or permit, tools that aggregate and highlight
content that appears on their site. IFS Foundation uses such tools to analyze
and assess the success of IFS Foundation campaigns and communications, the level
of interest in issues IFS Foundation cares about, and the level of social media
activity resulting from media stories about IFS Foundation or IFS Foundation
/NGO activities. We use the native reporting tools of the social media networks,
but may also use third-party tools.  IFS Foundation uses such tools to respond
directly to other users’ queries and comments related to IFS Foundation.

How do we protect your data

We ensure that there are appropriate technical controls in place to protect your
personal details. For example, our online forms are always encrypted and our
network is protected and routinely monitored.

We undertake regular reviews of who has access to information that we hold to
ensure that your information is only accessible by appropriately trained staff,
volunteers and contractors.

Where we use external companies to collect or process personal data on our
behalf, we put a contract in place that sets out our expectations and
requirements in relation to security of the data they access or process.  These
organizations - referred to as "Data Processors" also have legal liability for
the way in which your data is used, providing you with additional protection.

How long do we keep your data

We will only retain the data you provide to us through our website for as long
as required by applicable laws or as is necessary for the purpose for which it
was collected and in accordance with any consents provided. We will delete
personal data at the end of this period unless we wish to use it for statistical
purposes, in which case we will anonymize it, such that you could never be
re-identified with it.

Your rights

You have the right to request details of the information we hold about you. If
you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information, please make a
request to our Data Protection Officer at ifsdpo@synchlaw.se. We will provide
this information to you without charge, unless requests are manifestly
unfounded, repetitive or excessive, in which case we are entitled to charge an
administration fee.

You also have a right to have inaccurate information we hold about you rectified
or removed and a right, in some circumstances, to restrict or object to us
processing your information, or to seek erasure of your data. If you believe we
are not respecting your rights, you are entitled to make a complaint to a
relevant supervisory authority.

The legal basis on which we hold and use your data will vary depending on the
activity involved. In some cases, we might hold the data because it is needed to
fulfill a contract or meet our legal obligations (i.e. a donation), in others
because it is in IFS Foundation’s legitimate interest to do so, and in others,
because you have consented to this use. We note that the legal basis on which we
process your data will influence your specific rights.

Changes to this notice

We may make changes to this notice from time to time. We will always detail, at
the end of this notice, the date it was last updated and you should check back
from time to time.

your hard disk when you visit one of our websites:

repeatedly enter the same information every time you visit the site.

Targeted Advertising. When we display online advertisements to you, we will
place one or more persistent cookies on your device to recognize your device
each time we display an ad to you. Because we serve advertisements on our own
websites as well as those of our advertising and publisher partners, we are able
to compile information over time about the types of pages, content and ads you
or others who are using your computer visited or viewed. This information is
used for many purposes; for example, it helps us ensure that you do not see the
same advertisements over and over again. We also use this information to help
select and display targeted advertisements that we believe may be of interest to
you.

Site Analytics. We may use cookies to count the number of unique visitors to a
web page or service or to develop other aggregate statistics about the
operations of our sites and services. Such analytics help us operate and improve
