Last updated: October 19, 2026

Valentina’s Village Ltd (ABN 95 700 589 064) respects your privacy. This page explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it.

We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

What we collect

When you donate: your name, email address, and payment details. Payment details go directly to our payment provider and are never stored by us.

When you buy a ticket or attend an event: your name, email address, and any dietary or access requirements you tell us about.

When you join our mailing list: your name and email address.

When you contact us: whatever you choose to put in the form or email.

When you visit the site: technical information such as your browser and device type, the pages you look at, actions such as form submissions, and your approximate location based on your IP address. This is collected through analytics and advertising tools. See "Cookies, analytics and advertising" below.

Why we collect it

To process your donation and send you a receipt. To keep you updated on Valentina’s treatment and the work of the foundation. To run our events. To answer your questions. And to understand how people use our website so we can improve it.

Tax receipts

Valentina's Village Ltd is endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR). We may need your postal address to issue a valid tax receipt. We will only ask for it for that purpose.

Who we share it with

We use trusted third parties to run the foundation:

  • Raisely and Stripe, to take donations and manage donor records
  • TryBooking, for event ticketing
  • Google (Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager), to understand website traffic and show relevant ads
  • Meta Platforms (Meta Pixel), to measure our website and show relevant ads
  • Our email platform, to send updates

Each of these has its own privacy policy. We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing.

We may disclose information if the law requires it.

Where it is stored

Some of our providers store data outside Australia, including in the United States and Europe. We only use providers we consider reputable and secure.

How long we keep it

As long as we need it for the purpose we collected it, or as long as the law requires. Donation records are kept for our financial and tax obligations.
