We collect only the minimum information necessary to share stories and connect families in Gaza with people who wish to help them.
We never sell, rent, or trade personal data.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information shared through our website.

4. How We Protect Your Information
We use industry-standard security measures to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of your information.

All communication and exchanges between users occur outside the platform (via WhatsApp or other tools), and WithGaza.com cannot control or secure those channels.
5. Data Retention
We keep user-submitted content (stories, photos, contact links) for as long as it remains active on the site or until a user requests removal.
If you would like your page or data deleted, email us at support@withgaza.com with your request.
6. Sharing of Data
We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties.
The only data shared publicly is what families choose to include in their own profiles.
We may share limited information if legally required to comply with a court order or law enforcement request.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location (EU, UK, California), you have rights over your data, including:
- Access to your personal data
- Request correction or deletion
- Withdraw consent for your content to appear on the site
- Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

If you believe that a child’s information has been shared without proper consent, please contact us immediately for removal.
