The dhammajata website provides services and products through third parties. These service providers perform certain functions on our behalf, such as organizing events, sending emails, etc. We may share your information with these authorized service providers to achieve event organization, email sending, data analysis, credit card payment processing, website operation, troubleshooting, and other functions.

We may also collect information from individuals or companies with whom we have partnerships ("Partners") and share it with service providers to perform administrative tasks. For example, when donating, we provide credit card information to the issuing bank to confirm payment; if delivery service is needed, we provide the address to the delivery company. We encourage partners to adopt and publish privacy policies, but we are not responsible for controlling how they use your information.

8. Security

The dhammajata website provides encrypted web pages to collect user information and stores some data in an encrypted manner. We employ reasonable technical and management measures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of data. Although no computer system is completely secure, we believe current security measures are appropriate for the types of data processed.

Our servers use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology, compatible with major browsers (such as IE, Firefox, Safari, and AOL browsers), to ensure that only dhammajata can read your personal information.

We typically retain user data on servers or in archives as needed. Retention may be longer if required by law or necessitated by business needs. Additionally, information you post on public forums (such as FAQs, comment sections, etc.) may remain permanently in the public domain.

We will not intentionally collect personal information from children under 18, and this website is not designed for this demographic. In certain circumstances, we may hold events for children, but registration must be completed by an adult.
