Trust & Safety

Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. We are committed to protecting your information and maintaining a safe and transparent experience for all members of the HYMHE community.

1. Introduction

The HYMHE movement ("we," "us," or "our") values the trust you place in us and is committed to protecting the personal information you share through our website and digital tools. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, process, secure, and use your personal details when you interact with our platforms.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect personal information that is voluntarily provided by you. This information may be gathered when you apply to join the movement, submit contact forms, subscribe to our updates, or register for initiatives. The categories of information we collect may include:

  • Identification Details: Full name, profile name, and general interest selections.
  • Contact Details: Email address and social platform handles (if voluntarily shared).
  • Professional / Educational Details: School/university affiliation, interest areas, or skill summaries.
  • Forms & Communication: Content, motivations, and messages submitted through contact forms or signup interfaces.

3. How We Use Information

We use the voluntarily provided information to operate, organize, and expand our youth movement. Specifically, your data may be used to:

  • Respond to your questions, feedback, or outreach messages.
  • Process and review applications for volunteering, community roles, and campaign participation.
  • Communicate updates, educational resources, newsletters, and announcements regarding HYMHE activities.
  • Coordinate collaborative digital actions and manage active campaign participation across regions.
  • Improve the functionality of our website and refine community engagement projects.

4. Form Submissions

Please note that online forms on this website—such as our volunteer applications or contact panels—may be connected to Google Forms for securely gathering responses. Specifically, responses submitted through our forms may be securely processed and stored using Google Forms and related Google services. As a result, Google may handle and store this information according to its own privacy regulations and terms of service.

5. Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect it from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. Access to volunteer registration details is restricted to authorized coordinators who need the data to facilitate onboarding. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or digital storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

6. Third-Party Services

To support a globally connected community, this website integrates and links to external third-party services. These include Google Forms (for onboarding applications), Google Workspace tools (for document sharing), and global social networks (WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube) for collaborative chat rooms and content publishing. These third-party services operate under their own terms and privacy practices, and we recommend that you review their policies separately.

8. Children's Privacy

HYMHE is a youth advocacy platform, but we do not knowingly collect personal details from children without appropriate parental or guardian consent where required. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child without required consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our files.

9. User Rights

You maintain rights over the personal details you share with the movement. Where reasonably possible, you may request to:

  • Request access to check what registration details we have in our files.
  • Correct or update inaccurate contact or profile details.
  • Request deletion of your profile details or withdrawal from volunteer listings.

To request any changes or updates, you can contact the HYMHE team directly via the contact channels provided below.

10. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to align with changes in our community tools, guidelines, or operational structures. Any changes will be published directly on this page, and the date of modification will be updated accordingly. Continued participation in HYMHE indicates your agreement to any updated policies.
