The project aims to support women’s economic empowerment, gender equality, and social inclusion by strengthening access to entrepreneurial skills, employability skills, financial literacy, financing access, health literacy, affordable health insurance options, networks, services, and resources.
WE Inspire works with local partners to support rural women and their communities, including through WE Inspire hubs, capacity-building activities, monitoring and evaluation, and the development of an online Rural Women Entrepreneurship Dashboard.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, Kenan may act as a data controller when we determine how and why personal data is collected, used, or disclosed. In some cases, we may act as a data processor or service provider on behalf of a donor, partner, local organization, or project stakeholder.

To support Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) programming, monitoring, and reporting, we may collect information related to gender, age, disability-related needs, community context, household responsibilities, access to services, barriers to participation, or other inclusion-related information.

The WE Inspire website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, improve user experience, understand how visitors use the website, measure content performance, and support communications.
Cookies may collect technical information such as device type, browser type, IP address, pages visited, time spent on the website, and referral sources.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

Kenan does not sell personal data.
Where possible, project reporting and dashboard information will be anonymized, aggregated, or de-identified so that individuals cannot be directly identified. When we share personal data with service providers, donors, or partners, we aim to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place and that personal data is used only for agreed and lawful purposes.
Kenan works with donors, partners, service providers, and digital platforms that may be located outside Thailand. As a result, personal data may be transferred to, stored in, or accessed from other countries.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, Kenan will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate protection, safeguards, contractual arrangements, or other lawful transfer mechanisms are in place, as required by applicable data protection laws.
Kenan retains personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law, donor requirements, audit obligations, accounting rules, contractual obligations, safeguarding needs, dispute resolution, or legitimate organizational purposes.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and the context in which it was collected. For example, registration data, learning records, survey responses, monitoring and evaluation data, dashboard data, consent records, communication records, partner records, financial records, and published media materials may each have different retention periods.
When personal data is no longer needed, Kenan will delete, anonymize, archive, or securely dispose of it as appropriate.
Kenan takes reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
These measures may include access controls, secure storage, password protection, staff awareness, vendor management, data minimization, consent management, limited access to sensitive information, and secure disposal practices.
However, no website, online platform, email system, dashboard, or digital transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should also take care when sharing information online.
