Western Odisha Yuva Manch (WOYM) is a government-registered Charitable Trust working for the people, youth, culture and identity of Western Odisha. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, why we collect it, and how we use it.
Information We Collect
We only collect information that you choose to give us directly through the forms on this website:
- Contact Form — your name, email address, phone number (optional), subject and message.
- Join WOYM / Volunteer Form — your name, email address, phone number, area of interest and message.
- Online Quiz Competitions — your name, email address and mobile number, used to register your entry and contact you about the result.
We do not collect any payment card or banking information through this website. Donations to WOYM are made by direct bank transfer using the account details published on our Donate page — we never ask you to enter payment details on this site.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you submit to respond to your enquiries, process volunteer interest, run our online quiz competitions (including contacting winners), and keep a record of communications with you. We do not use your information for automated advertising or sell it to data brokers.
Cookies
This website uses a small number of essential cookies only: a login session cookie for WOYM staff accessing the admin panel, and a "resume" cookie that lets a quiz participant return to an in-progress quiz attempt. We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
Third-Party Links and Services
Our website links to our Facebook, Instagram and X (Twitter) pages, and embeds YouTube videos in places. These third-party services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them — WOYM is not responsible for how they handle your data.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties. Where a quiz competition displays a public leaderboard, only your first name and last initial are shown — never your email, phone number or full contact details.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information submitted to us. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
Our website and quiz competitions are intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from young children without appropriate parental awareness.
Your Rights
You may contact us at any time to ask what information we hold about you, or to request that it be corrected or deleted, subject to any records we are required to keep.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our website and activities evolve. Changes will be posted on this page.
