Who We Are
Veranda Design is a Palestinian eco-design agency working on sustainable community projects in Gaza. This policy explains what information we collect through verandadesign.org, why we collect it, and how we handle it.
Information We Collect
We collect information in a few limited ways:
- Contact and Join Us forms: when you submit our Contact or Join Us forms, we collect your name, email address, and the message or interest area you provide, so we can respond to you.
- Website analytics: we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (pages viewed, general location, device type). This data is aggregated and is not used to personally identify you.
- Donations: donations made through our Donate page are processed entirely by GoFundMe, an external platform. We do not receive, process, or store your payment card details — GoFundMe’s own privacy policy governs that information.
How We Use Your Information
- To respond to messages sent through our Contact or Join Us forms
- To coordinate volunteering, partnership, or internship opportunities you express interest in
- To understand overall site traffic and improve the site
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Cookies
Our site uses cookies set by Google Analytics to distinguish visitors and measure site usage. You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time; this will not affect your ability to browse the site or use our forms.
Data Retention
We keep messages submitted through our forms only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry or coordinate the opportunity you contacted us about, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
Your Rights
You can ask us at any time to see, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us through our Contact page.
Contact
If you have questions about this policy or how your information is handled, please reach out via our Contact page.
