I really like the clarification! Draws a clear line to rule out shady actors but still gives space for you as a team to validate each request on a case by case basis 👍👍👍
Two sentences I feel you can improve:
It's odd to single out governments here. There are many different types of malicious entities ready to spoof user data. I'd rephrase it to something more generic like: "to prevent malicious actors from..."
I think there is a logical error in here, first I do not know if you can say: "approve/deny a sponsorship" Would it not rather be that you approve/deny a sponsorship request (or inquiry) [I'm not fluent]
Also, I'd split the sentence into two so the approve/deny part is in one sentence and the reason for denying in the latter. Otherwise the misalignment seems to be both the reason for the accept & deny.
Something like:
We reserve the right to approve or deny all sponsorship inquieries from receiving the benefits detailed below. We will deny any incoming requests if we believe the organization or product is not aligned with our key values.
Make it your own 😉
So the problem is that the sponsorship tiers are published on Open Collective and nothing technically is stopping somebody like say, Facebook, from giving us $250/month or whatever. So the main point is that if you don't first email sponsors@privacytools.io and get in touch, there's no guarantee that you'll get your logo on the website or something, simply because you sent money over.
Why the moving away from variable? I am not reading further while wondering this.

Right or deny makes no sense to me, did you perhaps mean right to?
