MUSWIT International may use personal information for legitimate and specified purposes, including to:
MUSWIT International may process personal information on the basis of: your consent, the need to provide a service or respond to a request you have made, a legal or regulatory obligation, the legitimate interests of MUSWIT International (provided those interests do not override your privacy rights), or another lawful basis permitted under applicable data protection legislation.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent where permitted by law.
MUSWIT International accepts donations through Paystack, an online payment service provider. When you choose to make a donation through our website, you may be redirected to, or interact with, Paystack's secure payment infrastructure.
MUSWIT International does not intentionally collect or store your complete payment card details through ordinary website forms. Payment information is processed through Paystack's payment infrastructure in accordance with its own privacy policy and security practices.
For donations made through MUSWIT International's Paystack integration, Paystack may process personal information on behalf of MUSWIT International for payment processing services, fraud prevention, transaction verification, regulatory compliance, dispute resolution, and security.
MUSWIT International may retain information relating to donations for legitimate organisational purposes, including confirming receipt, issuing receipts, maintaining financial records, reconciling payments, managing donor relationships, and meeting legal and regulatory obligations.
MUSWIT International does not sell, rent, or trade personal information for commercial purposes. We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to service providers, technology and security providers, Paystack for payment processing, professional advisers, programme partners, government authorities, courts, or to protect legitimate interests.
Where third parties process personal information on our behalf, we will seek to use appropriate contractual, technical, and organisational safeguards.
Some service providers used by MUSWIT International may store or process information outside Ghana. Where personal information is transferred to another country, MUSWIT International will seek to ensure that appropriate safeguards are applied and that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.
MUSWIT International will retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Donation and financial transaction records may be retained for the period required for accounting, financial reporting, auditing, legal, tax, and regulatory purposes. When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy, or anonymise it.
MUSWIT International takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, loss, misuse, alteration, and destruction. However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should avoid submitting highly sensitive information unless appropriate safeguards are provided.
We aim to keep personal information accurate, complete, and up to date for the purposes for which it is used. You may contact MUSWIT International if you believe that information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.
