Privacy & cookie policy

Who we are and how to contact us

This policy covers the Blessed to Bless website. For questions about privacy or your information, contact Rosette Kanyunyuzi at info@blessedtoblessfoundation.com.

Your choice comes first

Google Analytics is optional. We do not load its tracking script or send analytics events until you select Accept. Declining does not prevent you from reading the website or contacting us. Your consent is the basis for optional analytics.

We store your Accept or Decline choice in this browser’s local storage under btb-cookie-consent. This preference is necessary to remember your decision; it is not an analytics cookie. It remains until you change it or clear browser storage. Your choice applies to this browser and website, not automatically to other devices.

What Google Analytics collects

After acceptance, Google Analytics 4 may collect page views, visit times, session and engagement information, the page or website that referred you, and technical information such as browser, device type, language, and screen size. It uses cookie identifiers to distinguish browsers and returning visits; these are pseudonymous identifiers, not fully anonymous data.

Google receives the IP address as part of the network connection and uses it to estimate approximate location. GA4 states that it does not log or store individual IP addresses. Approximate location can include country or city. This does not mean that no personal data is processed.

We do not deliberately send names, email addresses, messages, or bank account information to Google Analytics. We do not enable Google Signals or advertising personalization. We use traffic reports to understand visits and improve our website and outreach, not to make automated decisions about visitors.

Cookies, providers and retention

Google Analytics can set _ga and _ga_* first-party cookies after consent. Their standard lifetime can be up to two years, and may refresh when you visit. Browser rules and Google Analytics settings may shorten that period. Cookie lifetime and the retention of reports are different things.

Google provides the analytics service and may process data outside Poland or the European Economic Area, including in the United States, under its applicable data-transfer safeguards. Google’s privacy policy explains its processing. Hosting providers also process requests needed to serve this website, which may include IP addresses and technical logs, independently of optional analytics.

The exact Google Analytics event-data retention and hosting-log retention settings have not been verified for this website. Contact us for the current settings; we do not promise a retention period we have not confirmed.

Change or withdraw your choice

Select Change cookie preferences below or in the website footer at any time. This immediately disables future analytics collection on the current page, removes accessible Google Analytics cookies, clears your saved choice, and reopens the banner. Select Decline to keep analytics off or Accept to allow it again. A tracking script already loaded may remain in memory until you reload, but analytics is disabled upon withdrawal.

Withdrawal does not erase data already processed before it, and does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on your earlier consent. You can also delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking cookies or browser storage may cause the banner to reappear.

Messages and donations

Email and WhatsApp buttons open those services. Information you choose to send, such as your name, contact details, or message, is handled to respond to your enquiry or arrange support. Those services and your bank have their own privacy terms. This website does not collect payment card details or process bank transfers.

The website currently does not display personal bank transfer details or process payments. Support enquiries can be made by email or WhatsApp.

Your privacy rights

Where applicable under data-protection law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of your personal information, object to relevant processing, and withdraw consent. Contact us using the email above. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority, including Poland’s President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO).
