Privacy Policy
Last updated: 25.02.2020
The privacy of your data - and it is your data, not ours! - is a big deal to us. We’ll only ever access your account to help you with a problem or squash a software bug. We do not sell your personal information. Ever.
Account and identity
You can use our services both as a registered and an unregistered user. If you are unregistered user, we do not attribute your purchases to your device, ip address, or other identifiable information and therefore we cannot estimate the amount of your contributions. We are also unable to attribute your contributions to specific cause area. All fees from purchases made by unregistered users are transferred to charities fighting extreme poverty: Against Malaria Foundation, Schistosomiasis Control Initiative, and Give Directly. However, if you have installed our software after visiting our website though a “ref-link” (a link to https://altruisto.com containing a “ref” query attribute) we will attribute your purchases as referred by this “ref-link”.
If you use our services as a registered user, we attribute your purchases to your account through the information we receive from the partner shop you have made your purchase with. That way we can estimate contributions to charities from your purchases and attribute your contributions to cause areas you wish to support.
When you install our browser extension it automatically collects information about your device, browser, and IP address to make sure that our products work correctly in different environments, to make your experience better, and to detect and prevent fraud.

Right of Access. This includes your right to access the personal information we gather about you, and your right to obtain information about the sharing, storage, security, and processing of that information.
Right to Correction. This is your right to request correction of your personal information.
Right to Erasure. This is your right to request, subject to certain limitations under applicable law, that your personal information be erased from our possession (also known as “Right to be forgotten”). However, if applicable law requires us to comply with your request to delete your information, fulfilment of your request may prevent you from using our services and may result in closing your account.
Right to Complain. You have the right to make a complaint regarding handling of your personal information with the appropriate supervisory authority.
Right to Restrict Processing. This is your right to request restriction of how and why your personal information is used or processed.
Right to Object. This is your right , in certain situations, to object to how and why your personal information is processed.
Right to Portability. This is your right to receive the personal information we have about you and the right to transmit it to another party.
Right to not be a subject to Automated Decision-Making. This is your right to object and prevent any decision that could have a legal, or similarly significant, effect on you from being made solely based on automated processes. This right is limited, however, if the decision is necessary for performance of any contract between you and us, is allowed by applicable European law, or is based on your explicit consent.
We reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee or refuse to comply if the request is unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.
Your rights can be exercised by contacting us at [email protected].
