Fundraising for us or making a donation?

If you decide to fundraise or set up a donation to Baca through our website, we will use third-party services for payment processing (e.g. payment processors).

Baca will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to our third-party payment processors whose use of your personal information is governed by their privacy policy. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information. 

The payment processors we work with are called JustGiving. They have their own privacy settings and privacy policy which can be read here:

Children’s Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 (“Children”).

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

When children register with us as a supporter, join our campaigns or subscribe to our services, they are effectively stating that they are over 18 years of age, and that they agree that any information they provide to us about them upon registration or at any time is true. If you are under 18, before Baca is allowed to process any personal information, make sure that you obtain your parent or guardian’s permission beforehand and that your parent or guardian gives full and informed consent.
