Privacy Policy

Who we are

Together for Transformation Initiatives (TTI) is a non-profit organization registered in Uganda as a company limited by guarantee (Reg. No: 80034785953226), located at Postal Office Number 123216, Kabaka Anjagala Road, Mengo, Kampala. We deliver community training, skills development and outreach programmes for youth, women, students and farming households.

This Privacy Statement explains what personal information we collect through our website and programmes, why we collect it, how we protect it and the choices you have. We are committed to handling personal data in line with Uganda's Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 and its regulations.

Information we collect

We collect only the information we need:

• Contact form: your name, email address, optional phone number and subject, and your message.
• Newsletter sign-up: your first name, last name and email address.
• Programme participation: when you register for a training or outreach activity, we may record your name, contact details, community or school, age group and attendance, so that we can run the programme and report on it.
• Donations and partnerships: the details needed to process, acknowledge and account for your support.
• Photographs and stories: images and testimonies from our activities, collected with consent as described below.

We do not ask for sensitive information (such as health details) through this website. Please do not include it in your messages.

How we use your information

• To reply to your enquiries and requests.
• To send our newsletter and updates, if you have subscribed.
• To plan, deliver, monitor and evaluate our training and community programmes.
• To record donations for audit and tax purposes, as required by local guidelines.
• To report on our work to partners and funders, using summary figures that do not identify individuals.

We will never sell, rent or trade your personal information.

Why we are allowed to use it

We use personal information because you have given us your consent (for example, by submitting a form or subscribing), because it is needed to deliver a programme or service you asked to join, or because the law requires it (for example, financial record-keeping). You can withdraw your consent at any time.

Children and young people

Many of our programmes work with students and young people. When participants are under 18, we collect personal information and photographs only with the consent of a parent, guardian or the responsible school or institution. We do not publish the full names or contact details of children, and this website is not intended for children to submit personal information.

Photographs and stories

We share photographs and stories from our activities to show the impact of our work. We ask for consent before taking or publishing images in which people can be clearly identified. If you appear in an image on this website and would like it removed, contact us and we will remove it promptly.

Who we share information with

We share information only where necessary, with:

• Service providers who help us run the website and communicate with you. Our website is hosted on Netlify, which receives and stores contact and newsletter form submissions on our behalf.
• Programme partners and funders, usually in summary form. Where named information is required (for example, attendance lists for a funded training), we share only what is needed.
• Authorities, where the law requires us to.

Some of these providers may store data outside Uganda. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to make sure your information remains protected.

Cookies and website technology

This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. To protect our forms from spam, your browser keeps a short record of when you last submitted a form; this stays on your device and is not sent to us. Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google's servers and shares your IP address with Google.

How we keep information safe

We limit access to personal information to staff and volunteers who need it, use password-protected accounts and secure (HTTPS) connections, and keep paper records in a secure place. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and will act promptly if a breach occurs.

How long we keep it

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law. Contact messages are deleted once they are no longer needed. Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe. Financial records are kept for the period required by Ugandan law.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• ask what personal information we hold about you and receive a copy;
• ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete;
• ask us to delete your information, or to stop using it;
• withdraw your consent, including unsubscribing from our newsletter at any time;
• complain to Uganda's Personal Data Protection Office if you are unhappy with how we have handled your information.

To use any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond as soon as we can.

Changes to this statement

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated.
