GiveAnywhere LLC, operating the GiveAnywhere platform ("we," "us," or "our"), recognizes the importance of data retention and the responsible management of user information. This Data Retention Policy outlines our practices regarding the retention and deletion of data collected through the GiveAnywhere platform.
Purpose and Scope
- 1.1 This Data Retention Policy applies to all personal and non-personal information collected through the GiveAnywhere platform. It provides guidelines for the retention and deletion of data to ensure compliance with legal obligations, business requirements, and user expectations.
Data Retention Principles
- 2.1 Minimization: We retain data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to fulfill our legal obligations.
- 2.2 Lawful Basis: We retain data in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contractual obligations, and legitimate business interests.
- 2.3 Data Categories: We categorize data based on its type and sensitivity, applying different retention periods accordingly.
Data Retention Periods
- 3.1 Personal Information: We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to provide the requested services, and to comply with legal requirements. The specific retention periods may vary depending on factors such as the nature of the data, the applicable legal obligations, and any contractual or business considerations. Examples of personal information and associated retention periods include:
- Account Information: We retain account information for as long as the user maintains an active account. If an account is inactive or closed, we may retain the information for a reasonable period to facilitate reactivation or as required by law.

- 3.2 Non-Personal Information: We may retain non-personal information, such as aggregated or anonymized data, for an indefinite period, as long as it does not identify individuals or violate their privacy rights.
Data Deletion and Disposal
- 4.1 Secure Deletion: When data reaches the end of its retention period or is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, we will securely delete or anonymize the data, rendering it non-retrievable.
- 4.2 Data Disposal: We use appropriate measures to dispose of data in a manner that ensures it cannot be accessed or reconstructed. Disposal methods may include permanent deletion from our systems, shredding physical documents, or securely wiping electronic storage media.
