1. Information We Collect

Since the Bagmati Cleanup Mega Campaign is explicitly volunteer-driven and operates “without any financial transactions, donations, bank accounts, or formal committee”, and “is not linked to any government project or budget”, our direct data collection is minimal.

• Information You Provide Voluntarily:

• Automatically Collected Information (Website Usage Data):

  • When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates/times of your visits. This data helps us understand how our website is used and improve its functionality. This information is typically anonymized.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To Operate and Maintain Our Website: To ensure the proper functioning and security of our website.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

The Bagmati Cleanup Mega Campaign operates “without any financial transactions, donations, bank accounts, or formal committee”. Therefore, we do not engage in activities that typically involve extensive data sharing for commercial purposes.

• No Sale of Personal Information: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet transmission is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

• Opt-Out of Communications: If you receive communications from us, you can opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in the communication.
• Access and Correction: You may have the right to access and update your personal information that we hold. Please contact us to make such requests.
