Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 August 2026

Elevated Beyond Building Africa ("EBBA", "we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through ebba.africa, why we collect it, and how it's handled.

1. Information we collect

We collect information you give us directly:

• Contact form: name, email address, and the content of your message.
• Membership application: name, contact details, age, and other details requested on our Google Form application, used to review and process membership.

We do not collect payment information through this website. Membership subscription payments are arranged separately and are not processed or stored by this site.

2. How we use your information

We use the information you provide to:

• Respond to your inquiries and messages;
• Process and follow up on membership applications;
• Send occasional updates about EBBA programs, if you've asked to hear from us;
• Improve this website and understand how visitors use it (see Cookies & Analytics below).

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

3. Third-party services

This site relies on a small number of external services to function:

• Web3Forms processes contact form submissions and forwards them to our email. See Web3Forms' privacy policy.
• Google Forms used for membership applications. See Google's privacy policy.
• Google Analytics used to understand website traffic (see below).

Each of these providers has its own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review them.

4. Cookies & analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use it (e.g. which pages are visited, how long for). Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as your approximate location, device type, and browsing behaviour on this site. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you by name.

We also use your browser's local storage (not a tracking cookie) to remember whether you prefer light or dark mode this stays on your device and is never sent to us.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by using your browser's privacy/incognito mode or cookie-blocking settings.

5. Data retention

We keep contact form and membership application information for as long as reasonably needed to respond to you, process your application, or maintain our membership records and no longer than necessary for those purposes.

6. Your rights

You can ask us at any time to:

• Tell you what personal information we hold about you;
• Correct inaccurate information;
• Delete your information, where we're not required to keep it (e.g. for active membership records).

To make any of these requests, email us at ebba.africa@gmail.com. We aim to respond within 2 business days.

7. Members under 18

EBBA membership is open from age 13. Where an applicant is under 18, we encourage involvement of a parent or guardian in the application process, and we handle their information with the same care described in this policy.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time as our website or programs change. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version.

9. Contact us

Questions about this policy or your data can be sent to ebba.africa@gmail.com or +263 718 716 013, or by post to 7th Way, Glen View 7, Harare, Zimbabwe.
