The School of Leadership, Afghanistan (SOLA) is firmly committed to protecting the privacy of our website users and newsletter subscribers. This policy explains what types of information are collected on SOLA’s website, www.sola-afghanistan.org; how this information is used; and how you can request the deletion of any information collected.
What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected
Website visitors who sign up to receive our newsletter voluntarily provide us with contact information (such as name and email address). We use this information for the specific, limited purpose of electronic and/or printed distribution of our newsletter and other fundraising outreach. You may always opt out, either now or at any time in the future, if you do not wish to receive these mailings by sending an email to info@sola-afghanistan.org.
Website visitors who donate electronically through our website are sent via a link to PayPal. When a donation is made, SOLA collects, from PayPal, a donor’s name, billing address, email address, and certain financial details of the transaction (amount of donation, etc.) We retain this data on our servers unless and until a donor requests its removal. If you have made or will make a donation to SOLA, and wish to have your personal information deleted from our records, please inform us by sending an email to info@sola-afghanistan.org
