Introduction

GiveBack to Algeria (GBTA) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data when you visit our website, contact us, or complete any of our forms. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have.

This policy is intended to align with applicable data protection laws, including the Algerian framework for personal data protection and relevant requirements where users contact us from abroad.

Who we are

Organisation: GiveBack to Algeria (GBTA)
Website: givebacktoalgeria.com
Privacy contact: info@givebacktoalgeria.com

In this policy, “we/us/our” refers to the entity managing this website, and “you/your” refers to any visitor, supporter, volunteer, applicant, partner, or person who provides data through the website.

Scope of this policy

This policy applies to:

  • browsing and using our website

  • website forms (contact, volunteering, joining, interest, partnerships, etc.)

  • emails and communications linked to the website

  • newsletters (if available and if you have opted in)

Personal data we may collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

  • Identity and contact details: name, email address, phone number, country/city, wilaya/commune (where needed).

  • Participation details: interests, expertise, type of involvement (volunteering, partnership, support, media, etc.).

  • Application details (volunteering/roles): CV, qualifications, experience, portfolio links (if provided).

  • Technical data: IP address, device/browser type, pages visited, date/time, referral source, and cookie identifiers where enabled.

  • Content you send to us: information entered in messages and free-text fields.

Please avoid sending highly sensitive information (e.g., medical data or sensitive document numbers) via our forms unless strictly necessary and provided with your explicit consent.

How we use your data

We use your data to:

  • respond to messages and enquiries

  • manage volunteer applications, joining requests, partnerships and media contacts

  • improve website security, performance and user experience

  • send initiative updates (only where you have opted in / consented)

  • comply with legal obligations where required

Lawful basis for processing

We typically process personal data based on:

  • your consent (e.g., you submit a form or subscribe)

  • legitimate interests (e.g., website security, preventing misuse, improving services)

  • legal obligation (where we must comply with lawful requests)

  • to fulfil your request (e.g., processing an application or partnership enquiry)

Cookies and analytics

We may use cookies to:

  • enable core website functionality

  • remember certain preferences

  • measure performance and improve content (if analytics tools are enabled)

You can manage cookies through your browser settings (block/delete). Blocking some cookies may affect parts of the website.

Sharing your data

We do not sell or rent your personal data.
We may share limited data only when necessary with:

  • technical service providers (hosting, maintenance, email services)

  • analytics providers (if enabled) to improve the website

  • public authorities where legally required

We aim to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place with any service provider.

International data transfers

Because our community may be in Algeria and abroad, and because some technical providers may use servers outside your country, your data may be processed internationally. Where this happens, we aim to apply reasonable safeguards in line with applicable requirements.

Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes it was collected, and then delete or anonymise it, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, loss or disclosure. However, no online system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

Your rights

Subject to applicable laws, you may request:

  • access to your personal data

  • correction of inaccurate data

  • withdrawal of consent (where processing relies on consent)

  • objection to or restriction of certain processing

  • deletion of your data in certain circumstances

To make a request, contact: info@givebacktoalgeria.com
We may ask for proof of identity to protect your information.

Children’s privacy

This website is not specifically intended for children. If you believe a child has provided personal data without appropriate consent, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

External links and embedded content

Our website may include links to other websites or embedded content (e.g., videos). Those services have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them directly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will be published on this page and the “Last updated” date will be changed accordingly.
