Privacy Policy

Who is responsible for your information?

The organization responsible for processing information through this website and the Association’s activities is Association “Put Jedinstva”.

What information may we collect?

Depending on how you use our website and services, we may process information that you provide to us, including:

• your first and last name;
• telephone number and email address;
• address or place of residence when necessary;
• information related to membership and membership fees;
• information submitted when making a donation or applying for humanitarian assistance;
• information needed for communication, confirmations and Association records;
• technical information the website may record during use, such as IP address, device type or browser, when available through the website’s security and technical systems.

Why do we use information?

We use information only for legitimate purposes connected with the Association’s work, including:

• managing membership and the member portal;
• recording membership fees, donations and voluntary contributions;
• organizing and documenting humanitarian activities;
• processing requests and communicating with aid recipients;
• sending notices relating to membership or activities for which you provided your information;
• responding to inquiries and requests;
• website security, abuse prevention and technical maintenance;
• meeting legal, accounting and administrative obligations applicable to the Association.

Sensitive information and humanitarian cases

In some humanitarian cases the Association may receive information requiring a higher level of confidentiality. Such information should be used only to the extent necessary to assess, organize and provide assistance.

Information about aid recipients is not made public merely because it has been provided to the Association. Where a public humanitarian campaign requires publication of a person’s identity, photographs, story or other personal information, the Association aims to obtain appropriate consent or another suitable basis beforehand.

Donations and payments

When you use electronic payment services, some information may be processed by the bank or another payment service provider carrying out the transaction. The Association should not store complete payment card details where payment is handled by an external authorized payment system.

The Association may retain information about the completed payment, amount, date, purpose, reference and information needed for records, confirmation and financial reporting.

Who may access the information?

Access should be limited to people who need the information to perform authorized Association duties. Where necessary to operate the website or provide a service, information may also be processed by trusted technical, hosting, email, payment or other service providers.

We do not sell personal information. Information may be disclosed to a competent authority where required by law or pursuant to a valid request from that authority.

How long do we keep information?

We retain information for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for the duration of the relevant relationship with the Association and for as long as applicable recordkeeping, financial or other legal obligations require.

When there is no longer a justified need to retain particular information, it should be deleted, anonymized or otherwise appropriately removed from active use.

Information security

We use reasonable organizational and technical measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or unauthorized disclosure. Access to administrative systems and records should be limited according to role and need.

No electronic system can guarantee absolute security, but the Association aims to use safeguards appropriate to the type of information and the relevant risk.

Cookies and technical services

The website may use technically necessary cookies and similar technologies required for sign-in, security, proper operation and user preferences. If analytics, marketing or other non-essential cookies are introduced, their use should comply with applicable requirements and, where necessary, user choice.

Your rights and requests

You may contact us regarding your personal information to request access to information we hold about you, correction of inaccurate information, updates, or deletion or restriction of processing where such a request is applicable.

For privacy-related requests, email info@putjedinstva.com. To protect personal information, we may request reasonable verification of identity before acting on a request.

External links

Our website may contain links to other websites or services. The Association does not control their privacy practices, so we recommend reviewing their privacy policies before using those services.

Unfinished membership applications and reminders

When opening the membership form, you may choose whether to receive reminders if you do not finish applying. If you voluntarily opt in, we may save the information already entered (first name, last name, email, phone number, place of origin and residence) to help you resume. This information may be stored temporarily before the form is finally submitted.

We may send up to three email reminders with a link to resume. Reminders are optional and are not a condition of applying. Every message provides an unsubscribe option. After completion, opting out or the applicable retention period, unfinished-application information is removed according to the system settings. To request access, deletion or withdrawal of consent, contact info@putjedinstva.com.

Your popup choice may be remembered in your browser. Cookies or local preferences do not, by themselves, reveal your email address. Accepting the Terms of Use does not automatically mean agreeing to optional reminders.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Association’s work, website functionality or applicable requirements. The current version will be published on this page together with the date of the latest update.
