Privacy Policy
At Youth Empowerment Mobility (YEM), we’re all about igniting potential—lifting up youth and entrepreneurs to build a brighter, bolder future. That starts with trust. Whether you’re a donor cheering us on, a volunteer lending a hand, or a young dreamer joining our youth empowerment programs, your privacy is sacred to us. We don’t sell, share, swap, or spill your info to anyone outside our team. Period. We’re here to empower, not exploit—and that includes keeping your personal details safe and sound.
How We Keep Your Info Secure
When you donate, sign up, or connect with us online, we’ve got your back. All payments and personal details you share through our website are locked down with SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption—a fancy way of saying your info gets scrambled into code before it zips across the internet. We partner with trusted payment gateways like Paystack to make sure every transaction is as safe as a vault. No shady stuff here—just the good kind of hustle to keep your support flowing toward youth empowerment programs.
What Info We Collect (and Why)
We gather info in two simple ways—because we’re not about complicating your life. Here’s the rundown:
- Stuff You Share with Us: When you donate to fuel our mission or sign up for updates on how we’re tackling unemployment worldwide, you might give us your name, email, or phone number. Maybe you’re a young entrepreneur registering for one of our youth empowerment programs—same deal. We only ask for what we need, and we only send you the good stuff (like program invites or impact stories) if you say yes. No spam, no nonsense—just the spark you signed up for.
- Stuff We Pick Up: We use tools like Google Analytics to see how our website’s doing. That means little text files called cookies drop into your browser to tell us things like which pages you love, how long you stick around, or where in the world you’re visiting from (hello, Nigeria, Kenya, and beyond!). It’s all anonymous—no names, no faces—just numbers that help us make our site better at connecting youth and entrepreneurs like you to opportunity.
Questions? Want to Chat About Your Info?
Got a question about what we’ve got on you? Want to tweak, check, or ditch your details? We’re an open book. Drop us a line via email at info@sadejogrip.org or give us a ring at our office number (we’ll share that when you reach out—just ask!). One of our crew will jump in to help, because empowering you means keeping you in the driver’s seat of your own info.
For our friends in regions with extra privacy rules, you can check our Data Subject Rights page to request a peek at your data or ask us to scrub it. We’re all about making it easy to stay in control.
Donor Privacy: Your Support, Your Way
We’re beyond grateful for every currency, hour, or cheer you send our way—it’s the fuel that keeps our youth empowerment programs roaring. And we’ve got a promise: we won’t pass your info around like a hot potato. No mailing lists sold to strangers, no emails sent for other groups—just us, saying thanks or sharing how your gift’s changing lives.
Sometimes, we love to shout out our supporters—like listing donors in our annual report or on a wall at YEM HQ. It’s our way of saying, “You’re part of this fire we’re lighting!” But if you’d rather stay low-key, just tell us. Email us, call us, send a carrier pigeon if you’ve got one—we’ll honor your wish and keep your name off the roster. Your support’s what matters, not the spotlight.
Going Anonymous? We’ve Got You Covered
Maybe you’re the type who wants to give without the fanfare—keeping your name out of it so you’re not swamped with asks from every charity under the sun. We get it, and we’re here for it. YEM doesn’t trade your info or bug you with endless pleas, but if you want to stay a mystery, we’ll happily take your gift and keep it hush-hush. Here’s how you can do it:
- Community Foundations: Your local foundation can play middleman. You stay anonymous, we get the support, and young dreamers get a shot—win-win-win.
Online Platforms: Direct donations through debit/credit cards, bank transfers, USSD, and mobile money Giving Fund. You pick if we see your name or not, and you still get a tax slip from them. It’s smooth, simple, and keeps you in charge. - Money Orders: Old-school but gold. Grab one at the post office or bank, send it our way, and we’ll never know who the hero behind it is—just that it’s helping youth and entrepreneurs thrive.
- Quick heads-up: These options have their perks and quirks—tax stuff, fees, that sort of thing. We’re not lawyers or tax wizards, so chat with your advisor to pick what fits your vibe. We’re just happy to have you in our corner, named or not.
How We Use Your Info (and How We Don’t)
Your details aren’t a bargaining chip—they’re a trust we hold tight. Here’s what we do with them:
Keeping You in the Loop: If you say yes to updates, we’ll send you stories—like how Chidi’s phone shop grew or how Fatima’s farm took off—showing what your support sparks in our youth empowerment programs.
Making Things Better: That anonymous website data? It tells us if our “Get Involved” page is a hit or a miss, so we can tweak it to serve you better.
Saying Thanks: A donor might get a heartfelt note or a call from us—because you’re why we can keep igniting futures.
What we don’t do? Share your info with outsiders, spam you silly, or send you stuff you didn’t ask for. We’re too busy empowering youth and entrepreneurs to play those games.
Your Rights, Your Power
You’re not just a name on a list—you’re part of this movement. That means you’ve got rights we’ll always back:
- Peek at what we’ve got on you—just ask.
- Fix anything that’s off (wrong email? No problem).
- Tell us to delete it if you’re done (we’ll miss you, but we’ll respect it).
- Say no to emails or shout-outs anytime—your call.
- We’re here to lift you up, not tie you down. Reach out if you want to flex those rights, and we’ll make it happen quick.
Keeping It Legal and Transparent
We play by the rules—local laws, global standards, all of it. If you’re in a spot like California with extra privacy perks (hello, CCPA!), you’ve got options like requesting data deletion through our online portal. Same goes for GDPR folks in Europe—we’re on it. Our goal’s simple: keep your trust while we keep pushing for youth and entrepreneurs worldwide.
This policy might get a refresh now and then—laws change, we grow, life happens. Check back here to stay in the know, or ping us if you’re curious about the latest.
Our Promise to You
At YEM, empowering youth and entrepreneurs isn’t just a mission—it’s who we are. That starts with how we treat you. Your info’s safe, your choices matter, and your support lights the way for a future where every young dreamer gets their shot. Got questions? Concerns? A wild idea to share? We’re all ears at info@sadejogrip.org. Together, we’re not just holding space—we’re building it, one empowered life at a time.
