Gada

Privacy Policy

Last updated 16 September 2026

Plain words about what Gada collects, why, and what you can do about it.

What we collect

Your name, email address and country when you create an account, whether you sign in with Google, Apple or email.

Payment details are collected and stored by our payment partner. Gada never sees or stores your full card number.

How you use Gada: pages visited, emails opened, and the pledge card you share. We use this to make the product work and to report on the village as a whole, never to profile you individually.

How we use it

To take your monthly pledge and send you a receipt.

To send your monthly impact report and occasional updates on programmes. You can turn these off in Settings at any time.

To issue your digital member ID and pledge card, and to show your first name and member number if you choose to share them.

To meet our legal obligations, including anti-fraud and anti-money-laundering checks carried out by our payment partner.

Who we share it with

Our payment partner, to process payments.

Our email provider, to deliver receipts and reports.

Nobody else. We do not sell, rent or trade member data. Partner organisations receive aggregate numbers about the village, never your personal details.

Children and beneficiaries

Stories, names and images of children and communities appear on Gada only with documented consent from a parent or guardian and the partner organisation. If you believe an image has been used without consent, write to safeguarding@gada.co and we will remove it within 48 hours.

Your rights

You can see, correct, download or delete your data from Settings, or by emailing privacy@gada.co. Deleting your account cancels your pledge. Your member number is retired and not reissued.

We keep transaction records for as long as the law requires, typically seven years, and nothing else once you leave.

Cookies

We use one strictly necessary cookie to keep you signed in and one anonymous analytics cookie. There are no advertising cookies on Gada.
