This may include your name (if you choose to provide it), email address, and general location such as your city or country. We also collect information related to your activity on the platform, such as actions submitted through forms, responses to challenges, or messages sent through contact forms.

In addition, certain technical information may be collected automatically when you use the website.

This information helps us understand how the website is used and how it can be improved.

How We  Collect  Information

Information is collected in several ways. Most commonly, it is provided directly by you when you fill out a form, submit an action to the Global Impact Map, subscribe to updates, or contact us through the website.

Some information may also be collected automatically through the use of cookies or analytics tools that track general website usage, such as page visits and interaction patterns.

​

Why We  Collect Information

We collect personal information in order to operate and improve the Wasl platform. This includes displaying submitted actions on the Global Impact Map, measuring community impact, improving user experience, and maintaining communication with users who choose to stay connected.

Information may also be used to develop new features, understand user engagement, and ensure the platform remains relevant and effective in promoting sustainability and social impact.

We do not collect personal information for the purpose of selling it or using it for unrelated commercial activities.

How We  Store, Use, and Share Information

Information collected through the website is stored using secure and commonly used digital tools and platforms, such as website hosting services, form systems, and data storage solutions. We take reasonable steps to protect your data, but no system can guarantee absolute security.

We use your information only for purposes directly related to the operation of the platform, such as displaying impact data, improving services, and communicating with users.

Some information, such as submitted actions and general location (city or country), may be publicly displayed on the Global Impact Map or included in reports and content. This is a core part of Wasl’s mission to highlight global participation and inspire collective action.

We may share limited information with third-party service providers that help operate the website (such as analytics tools, form providers, or hosting platforms). These services have their own privacy policies and operate independently.

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law or if necessary to protect the rights, safety, or integrity of the platform and its users.
