Who We Are

IHDR is committed to ensuring compliance with data protection regulations. Additional information regarding our registration with supervisory authorities is provided below.

How Our Website Operates

When visiting our website, we collect data on your location to ensure we can direct you to the relevant IHDR Affiliate site when necessary to complete your requested actions.

We also use cookies to collect standard log data and details of visitor behavior to help us analyze and improve the website’s content and user experience. This information is not used to identify visitors. Some cookies allow third parties to analyze visitor behavior for advertising purposes, without using it to identify individuals. For details on the cookies used, please see our [Cookies Notice]. You can manage or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some features may be affected.

Data We Collect About You

You may provide personal data when using our website, such as when you:

• Register for IHDR email updates
• Sign an IHDR petition
• Make a donation to IHDR
• Register to participate in campaigns

The personal data collected may include your name, email address, telephone number, country, and language preference. If you make a donation, we do not collect financial information directly; instead, you are directed to a certified payment provider to process the transaction.

We only use your data for the purposes for which it was provided, or for compatible purposes necessary to meet legal or regulatory obligations, unless you have consented to other uses.

Marketing Communications

We will only send you marketing communications with your consent, such as updates on our work or opportunities to support IHDR. At each point where you provide personal data, you can indicate your marketing preferences. You may withdraw or modify these preferences at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any communication or emailing info@ihdr.org.

We generally treat marketing consent as valid for five years, based on the typical involvement period of our supporters. IHDR never sells or shares your data with external entities for marketing purposes.

Links to Affiliate Websites

In certain cases, you may be redirected to the website of an IHDR affiliate, such as when:

• Making a donation
• Registering for events like Trailwalker
• Applying for employment or volunteer roles
• Registering for local campaigns

In these instances, the affiliate will collect your data, and you should consult their privacy notice.

Sharing Your Information

Your information may be shared with other IHDR confederation members or third-party service providers acting on our behalf, but only under conditions that ensure the security of your data and its use as directed by IHDR.

International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to IHDR Affiliates or third-party service providers located outside your jurisdiction. If you are in the EU and your data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will ensure appropriate safeguards, such as the use of EU-approved standard data protection clauses. You can request a copy of these clauses.

Any transfers to third parties outside the EEA or other jurisdictions will comply with local data protection laws.

Social Media and Your Data

You can engage with IHDR content on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. These platforms may tailor their advertising based on your privacy settings to show you more relevant IHDR-related content. Please refer to the privacy policies of these platforms to adjust your settings.

Children’s Data

Our website is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

IHDR and Social Media Analysis

IHDR uses tools provided by social media platforms and third parties to analyze the success of campaigns and gauge public interest in our initiatives. These tools help us respond to queries and comments directly and monitor social media activity related to our causes.

Data Protection

We take robust measures to protect your personal information, including encryption of online forms and monitoring our networks. Access to your data is limited to trained staff, volunteers, and contractors who have a legitimate need.

When working with external companies to process data on our behalf, we implement contracts that outline our security requirements. These data processors also have legal obligations for data protection.

Data Retention

We will retain your personal data only for as long as is required by law or as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Once this period ends, we will either delete your data or anonymize it for statistical purposes.

Your Rights

You have the right to request information about the personal data we hold about you. You may also request the correction, removal, or restriction of your data. If we fail to uphold your rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.

The legal basis for processing your data varies depending on the activity involved. We may process data to fulfill contracts, meet legal obligations, or with your consent. The legal basis affects your rights, and we encourage you to contact us if you have questions.

We may update this notice from time to time. The most recent version will always be available, and you should check periodically for any updates
