A Cup of Water for an Unknown Child · Kinshasa, DRC · Last updated: October 2026

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

A Cup of Water for an Unknown Child is a small nonprofit based in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. We take the trust you place in us seriously, and that includes how we handle your personal information. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it.

Information We Collect

When you donate, sign up, or contact us, we collect only the information needed to serve you: your name, email address, and donation details. We do not collect sensitive personal data, and we never ask for credit card information directly — all payment details are handled by our secure payment processor, Givebutter.

How Donations Are Processed

All online donations are processed securely through Givebutter, a trusted donation platform. We never see or store your full credit card or bank account details on our own systems. Givebutter uses industry-standard encryption and security practices to keep your payment information safe.

We Never Sell Your Information

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your donor information with any third party for marketing purposes. Ever. Your trust matters more to us than any list of names. Donor details are used only to process your gift, send receipts, and share occasional updates about our water projects that you can opt out of at any time.

How We Protect Your Data

Access to donor records is limited to authorized team members who need it to do their work. Our website and data storage use modern security measures, and we review our practices regularly. If a data issue ever affected your information, we would notify you promptly.

Your Choices

You can ask us at any time to update your details, remove you from our mailing list, or delete your records. Just email us and we will take care of it quickly.
