Legal Basis for Processing (if applicable)

If you are located in a jurisdiction (e.g., EU/EEA) where a legal basis is required for data processing, we rely on the following (as applicable):

• Your consent (when you have explicitly given your agreement).
• Performance of a contract (e.g., processing your registration, membership, or donation).
• Legal obligation (complying with applicable laws).
• Legitimate interests (e.g., improving our services, protecting the organisation, communicating with you) provided your rights and interests are not overridden.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Site and hold certain information. Cookies may be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by third parties).

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent, but please note that if you do so, some parts of the Site may not function properly.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share your personal data under the following circumstances:

• With service providers, vendors, and processors who perform functions on our behalf (for example: payment processors, email service providers, membership/donation platforms). These parties only have access to the data required to perform their services and must keep it confidential.
• With affiliates or partners (for instance organisations we collaborate with) when you have given permission or such sharing is necessary for the service you signed up for.
• When required by law or in response to lawful requests by public authorities (e.g., for tax, regulatory or legal compliance).
• To protect our rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of others.
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or other organisational change – in which case your data may be part of transferred assets (with notice where required).

International Data Transfers

As a global-facing website, we may transfer your personal data to and store it in countries other than your country of residence. When we do so, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in line with applicable data-protection laws.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised or unlawful access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. However, please note that no internet transmission or storage system can be 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy (for example: maintaining membership, donation records, communications) and to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
