Personal data in our work

In our work, a leaked list, photograph or story can put a person at real risk, so we collect only what we need. Our Data Protection and Consent Policy, drafted for adoption by our Board, sets out how we collect, use, store, share and delete personal data. Ethiopia’s Personal Data Protection Proclamation No. 1321/2024 sets the legal rules; where our policy and the law differ, the stricter rule applies.

• Each time we collect personal data, we say what it is for, who will see it and how long we will keep it.
• Written consent for sensitive data, and a parent’s or guardian’s consent for anyone under 18, as well as the young person’s own agreement.
• Personal data is protected by passwords and limited access, kept only as long as needed, then deleted securely.
• We never export, share or sell the details of Fursadaha Dhalinyarada members, and never add anyone to another group without asking.

Photographs and stories

No consent, no publication. We ask each person for written consent covering the story, the name and each photograph. Survivors of violence are never identified. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, and we remove the photograph or story at the next possible edit.

Your rights

You can ask what personal data we hold about you and for a copy of it, ask us to correct or delete it, or withdraw your consent. If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your data, you can report a concern.
