2. How We Use Your Information

We only collect and use Personal Information where we have a lawful basis to do so — generally either your consent, or our legitimate interest in operating and promoting Iwokrama’s conservation mission, maintaining our relationships with supporters and partners, and protecting the Site. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time; where we rely on legitimate interest, you may object. Contact us as described in Section 3 with any questions about the basis for a specific use.

We use Personal Information to:

• • Respond to inquiries submitted through our Contact Us or Donations forms;
  • Process donations, issue receipts, and manage our relationship with donors and “Iwokrama Friends” partner entities;
  • Evaluate job applications submitted through our Jobs page;
  • Understand and improve how the Site is used; and
  • Comply with the Laws of Guyana.

Sharing. We do not sell or rent your Personal Information,

We may share information with:

• Service providers who help us operate the Site or process donations on our instructions (for example, a payment processor for online donations, or the banks handling wire transfers to Iwokrama’s or Iwokrama Friends – USA Inc.’s accounts);
• Government or law enforcement authorities, where we believe disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with the law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Iwokrama or others; and
• A successor organization, in the event of a merger, reorganization, or similar transition involving Iwokrama.

Retention. We keep Personal Information only for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy or to meet our legal and regulatory obligations, after which we delete it or remove information that could identify you.
