Depending on participation type, we may collect: name and contact information; profile information; location information; verification documents; organisation details; project participation records; contribution records; funding and transaction records; uploaded documents, photographs, and evidence; platform activity and usage information. Additional information may be collected where required for verification, auditing, constitutional compliance, or legal obligations.

How Information Is Used

Information may be used to: operate SWAVYA; verify participants and organisations; match needs with capability; process contributions and funding; maintain records; prevent fraud and abuse; conduct audits and investigations; improve platform functionality; support research and system development; meet legal and regulatory obligations.

Data Sharing

SWAVYA does not sell personal information. Information may be shared only where necessary for verification, auditing, project administration, legal compliance, fraud prevention, or operational requirements. Information shared for these purposes is limited to what is reasonably necessary.

Research

SWAVYA incorporates ongoing research into systems, governance, capability, resilience, and regeneration. Research outputs may use aggregated, anonymised, or statistical information. Personally identifiable information will not be published without explicit permission unless required by law.

Participant Records

Verified contributions, project involvement, accomplishments, and participation history may form part of a participant’s record within SWAVYA. These records exist to preserve continuity, transparency, and accountability across the network.

Security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and operational safeguards are used to protect information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No system can guarantee absolute security.

Retention

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the platform, maintain records, support auditing, preserve project history, meet legal obligations, and protect system integrity.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, participants may request access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of information where appropriate, and restriction of certain processing activities. Some information may need to be retained where required for auditing, fraud prevention, legal compliance, constitutional continuity, or preservation of verified records.

International Participation

SWAVYA may involve participants, organisations, projects, and activities across multiple jurisdictions. By participating, you acknowledge that information may be processed in locations where SWAVYA or its authorised service providers operate.

Updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. Material changes will be published through the platform. Continued participation following publication constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
