Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 August 2026

Introduction

Ummul-Asia Children's Home ("we", "our", or "us") operates a charitable children's home in Kahawa Wendani, Nairobi, Kenya, and this website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information when you use our website.

We aim to handle personal data responsibly and in line with applicable Kenyan law, including the Data Protection Act, 2019, where it applies.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

• Contact details you submit: Name, email address, phone number, subject, and message when you use our contact form or otherwise get in touch about volunteering, partnerships, donations, or general inquiries.
• Technical information: Basic information your browser may send when you visit the site (such as IP address, browser type, and pages viewed), which may be recorded in standard server logs.
• Cookie preference: A record of whether you accepted or declined cookies, stored in your browser so we do not show the cookie notice again on every visit.

We do not currently run advertising trackers or a live analytics product on this website. If that changes, we will update this policy.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries about volunteering, partnerships, sponsorship, or general questions
• Follow up on messages submitted through the website
• Operate and improve the website
• Meet legal or regulatory obligations where required

We do not sell your personal information.

Children in Our Care

Protecting the children and youth in our home is a core responsibility. We do not publish identifying personal details of children in our care on this website. Photos used on the site are either representative images or images shared with appropriate consent and privacy safeguards.

This website is intended for adults (parents, guardians, donors, volunteers, and partners). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 through the website. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us online, please contact us so we can delete it.

Sharing Your Information

We may share personal information only when needed, for example:

• With trusted service providers who help us host or operate the website, under appropriate confidentiality expectations
• When required by law or to protect the safety, rights, or property of Ummul-Asia Children's Home, our children, or others
• With your consent

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information submitted through the website. No method of transmission or storage on the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Cookies

Our website uses a simple cookie-consent preference stored in your browser (local storage) after you choose Accept or Decline. This helps us remember your choice. You can clear site data in your browser settings at any time.

Your Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, or to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the website after updates means you should review the revised policy.
