PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: May 20, 2026 Last Updated: May 20, 2026
At Community For Development ("we," "our," "us," or "CFD"), accessible from https://www.cfordev.com/ (the "Website"), protecting your privacy is one of our core commitments. This Privacy Policy documents the types of information collected and recorded by CFD and how we responsibly utilize it.
Compliance & Scope: As a global platform serving humanitarian and development professionals, we align our data structures with international protection frameworks, ensuring transparency regarding your informational rights.
1. Information We Collect We collect information to deliver specialized educational toolkits, verify subscription services, process singular career assets, and handle transactional flows safely:
Personal Data Supplied by You: When you apply for a premium tiered subscription plan, claim a free trial, request technical resource packages, or coordinate a one-time purchase, we safely gather essential identifiers. This includes your name, transaction histories, and contact handles such as your email address (admin@cfordev.com).
Submission Data: When community practitioners forward field stories or career case reviews through our dedicated communication lines, we retain the editorial content supplied to adapt and display it within our knowledge streams.
2. How We Use Your Information The informational assets collected are utilized systematically to support our global network operations, including to:
Provide, manage, scale, and structurally safeguard our Website interfaces.
Enhance user pathways, customize educational content distributions, and track high-level visitor metrics.
Verify monetary transactions, validate subscription profiles, and process premium trial structures through compliant checkout pathways.
Communicate with you regarding important system updates, security advisories, newsletters, or operational events such as skills sprints or challenges.
Analyze global system behavior to counter fraudulent traffic and optimize speed for worldwide networks.
3. Cookies and Web Beacons Like many interactive digital networks, Community For Development utilizes standard technical "cookies" to store structural session indicators and remember user preferences based on accessed landing fields. This data streamlines page loading and customizes your browsing experience relative to your device architecture or browser preferences.
4. Third-Party Payment Processors & Privacy Because users can make secure purchases and manage active premium subscriptions on CFD, all financial workflows are processed through compliant third-party payment handlers. CFD does not directly collect, harvest, or store critical payment card data on our internal servers. Your billing information is governed directly by those external handlers, whose operational procedures align with global industry data protection benchmarks.
5. Data Retention and Security We preserve gathered personal information only as long as necessary to execute the services requested, maintain subscription parameters, or comply with relevant financial auditing criteria. CFD deploys industry-accepted security architectures designed to prevent loss, misuse, modification, or unauthorized exposure of your stored identifiers.
6. External Site Hyperlinks Our collaborative platform hosts automated opportunity listings, vacancy updates, and research links redirecting to external international portals (such as UN agencies, CARE, or ActionAid). CFD does not own, run, or supervise these third-party platforms. We strongly advise you to inspect the individual privacy frameworks of any external destination you visit from our portal.
7. Governing Jurisdiction Our platform handles operational guidelines and structural compliance from our headquarters located in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Any data disputes or processing considerations falling outside standard international terms will be mediated in compliance with the local statutes of Bangladesh.
8. Updates to This Privacy Policy We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect shifts in platform architecture or legislative variations. Any modifications will be posted immediately with an updated "Last Updated" value at the top of this statement.
9. Contact and Compliance Desk If you possess unresolved data questions, require detailed information regarding our technical protection protocols, or wish to exercise your data update options, feel free to contact us:

About Us
Connecting development practitioners and community changemakers with curated opportunities, tools, and resources from across the humanitarian and development sector.
"Community For Development" is a sector-focused knowledge platform built on a simple belief, "The people doing the hardest work in development shouldn't have to hunt for the tools to do it better".
We curate opportunities; jobs, fellowships, grants, and training; alongside sector resources, digital tools, and practical guides, and keep the core of it free and accessible. Our growing e-book archive, sector databases, and open blog are available to anyone; whether you're based in a ministry in Nairobi, a local NGO in Cox's Bazar, or a policy institute in Brussels.
To sustain that commitment to open access, we also offer premium operational tools, advanced guides, and carefully selected affiliate resources; products and platforms we've assessed for their genuine value to development practitioners. Every premium resource you explore helps keep our core knowledge base free for the organisations and professionals who need it most.
This is how we stay independent, stay relevant, and stay useful.
