Our Commitment to You
At Beyond Kind, we believe transparency isn't just about how we spend donations — it extends to how we handle your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe.
Who We Are
Beyond Kind is an education-focused charity organisation based in Australia, operating at beyondkind.org. We are in the process of formal registration with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).
If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, you can reach us at the contact details provided at the bottom of this page.
Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information when you interact with our website or campaigns:
- Your name and email address if you choose to contact us or sign up for updates
- Donation-related information, including the campaign you supported and the amount given
- General browsing data such as pages visited and time spent on the site (collected anonymously via analytics tools)
- Any information you voluntarily share with us through messages, forms, or social media interactions
We do not collect sensitive personal information unless it is strictly necessary and you have given explicit consent.
How We Use Your Information
Any information you provide is used solely to:
- Process and confirm your donation to the campaign of your choice
- Send you updates about the campaigns you have supported, if you opt in
- Respond to enquiries or messages you send us
- Improve our website and the experience we offer to our community
- Comply with legal and regulatory obligations as a registered charity
We will never use your information for unrelated commercial purposes or share it with third parties for marketing.
Campaign Donations & Financial Transparency
As part of our transparency commitment, campaign-level financial summaries are published publicly on our website. These summaries show total funds received and how they are being used. Individual donor details are never publicly disclosed.
Donation transactions are processed through secure, third-party payment providers. Beyond Kind does not store your full payment card details at any time.
Cookies & Analytics
Our website may use cookies and anonymous analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors engage with our content. This data is aggregated and non-identifiable — it helps us improve the site for everyone.
You can disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. This will not affect your ability to use the website.
Sharing Your Information
Beyond Kind does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- With trusted service providers who assist us in operating the website or processing donations, under strict confidentiality agreements
- Where required by law, regulation, or a lawful request from a government authority
- With your explicit consent
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request that we correct any inaccurate information
- Ask us to delete your information, subject to any legal obligations we may have
- Withdraw consent to receive communications from us at any time
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Data Security
We take the security of your information seriously. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. While no system is completely infallible, we continuously review and update our security practices.
Children's Privacy
Beyond Kind's website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with their information without parental consent, please contact us and we will promptly remove it.
