Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 3, 2026

Our Lady of the Rosary School and Orphanage (OLR School) is a Catholic primary school and residential orphanage in Nabutongwa Village, Kalungu District, Uganda. We serve more than 550 orphaned and vulnerable children with education, food, shelter, clothing, religious formation, and life skills—supported by donors and partners in Uganda and around the world.

This policy explains how we handle information when you visit https://www.ourladyoftherosaryuganda.com, view our story and needs, browse photos of our campus and community, or support our work online.

What This Website Does

Our website is an informational and fundraising site. It describes our mission, history, current building and program needs, staff, and photo gallery. It does not offer user accounts, student portals, or online enrollment. We do not run a contact form on this site.

Information We Collect on This Site

We collect very little information directly through this website. When you browse our pages, standard web hosting may automatically record technical data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and approximate access time. We use this only to operate and protect the site, not to profile visitors.

We do not ask you to create an account here, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website.

Donations and Kindful

Online gifts are processed by Friends of Our Lady of the Rosary School and Orphanage through Kindful (friendsofourladyoftherosaryschoolandorphanage-bloom.kindful.com), a third-party fundraising platform. When you donate, you leave our site and provide information directly to Kindful—such as your name, email, mailing address, and payment details—according to their privacy practices.

We use donation information from Kindful to:

Process gifts and send tax receipts where applicable
Thank supporters and share updates about our school, orphanage, and children
Steward relationships with donors who help fund education, meals, housing, and campus projects in Uganda

Please review Kindful’s privacy policy on their site for details on how they store and secure payment data. We do not sell donor lists.

Photos and Stories About Our Children

Our gallery and pages include photographs of students, staff, chapel life, classrooms, and campus life in Nabutongwa Village. These images are shared to show the impact of your support and the dignity of the children we serve. They are not posted to solicit personal data from minors, and we do not invite children to submit information through this website.

If you believe a photo on our site should be updated or removed, contact us using the donation platform link below and we will review your request promptly.

How We Use Information

Information we receive—whether through this site’s technical logs or through Kindful as a donor—may be used to:

Advance our charitable mission for orphaned and vulnerable children in the Masaka region
Communicate about prayer partnerships, building campaigns, and urgent needs listed on our Our Needs page
Respond to supporter questions and maintain accurate records for accountability to our community and diocese
Improve this website so visitors can learn about our Catholic education and orphanage programs

Sharing With Others

We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share data only with trusted service providers who help us operate this website (for example, secure hosting and content delivery) or process donations (Kindful and payment processors), and only for those purposes. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect the safety of our children, staff, and supporters.

Cookies and External Content

This site does not use advertising trackers or analytics cookies that we control. Pages may load resources from third parties—such as Google Fonts for typography—that could set cookies or receive technical request data under their own policies. If you follow a Donate link, Kindful may use cookies to complete your transaction and remember your preferences on their platform.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information in our care. No internet transmission or storage system is perfectly secure; please use caution when sharing sensitive details online and only donate through our official Kindful link.

Your Choices

You may opt out of non-essential communications from us by following unsubscribe instructions in emails you receive from our fundraising partners, or by contacting us through Kindful. You can adjust browser settings to limit cookies, though some third-party features may not work as intended.

International Visitors

Our school and orphanage are located in Uganda. Many supporters visit this site from the United States and other countries. By using the site or donating, you understand that information may be processed in Uganda, the United States, or other locations where our service providers operate, consistent with applicable law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our programs, website, or fundraising tools change. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the current version. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy.

Contact Us

Questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle supporter information may be directed through our official Kindful donation page, where our fundraising team can receive your message.
