Privacy policy

This page is a plain-language summary of what this website collects, who receives it, and what happens to it.

Messages you send us

When you use the contact form, you give us your name and email address, choose what your message is about, and write a message. If you came to the form from a page about one of our needs, the form also tells us which need. The form takes no payment.

The site’s mail server sends everything you enter, by email, to the addresses Mentoring Models Foundation sets up for the form. We use it to read and answer your message.

To slow down automated abuse, the server keeps a running count of form submissions from each IP address. Every submission that reaches the server is counted, not only the ones that are delivered. The count lives in the server’s memory only, is not saved to a file, and starts over whenever the server restarts.

Your draft in this browser tab

When you press Send, your browser tab keeps a temporary copy of what you typed, in session storage, so the form can be refilled if the message cannot be sent. That copy stays in your browser and is not sent to us; only the message you submit is.

The copy is removed once a message has been sent (on the thank-you page), as soon as the form has been refilled after an error, and on your next normal visit to the contact page. Your browser also discards session storage when you close the tab.

Newsletter signup

When you sign up for the newsletter, this website passes your email address to Mailchimp, the service that sends our newsletter, along with the page you signed up on. Mailchimp then emails you a link to confirm, and nothing is sent until you do. Mailchimp’s own privacy policy applies to what it does with your address.

Giving in rupees

The “Giving from India” link at the bottom of every page takes you to a payment page run by Razorpay. You enter your payment details there, not on this website, so this site never receives or stores them. Razorpay’s own privacy policy and terms apply to that payment.

Links to other sites

This site links to other sites, such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Signal, Joshua Project and Bible text sites. Once you follow a link, that site’s own privacy policy applies, not this page.

We do not sell your information
