Introduction

At Friends of European Hunting and Conservation (FEHC), we are deeply committed to safeguarding the privacy of everyone who visits our website, engages with our projects, or communicates with our organization. We understand that trust is the foundation of meaningful relationships, and protecting your personal information is a responsibility we take seriously. This Privacy Policy explains in detail how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data. It also describes the rights you have regarding your information and the choices available to you when interacting with us. By visiting our website or using our services, you are agreeing to the terms outlined in this policy. We encourage you to read this document carefully to understand how your information is handled and to reach out to us if you have any concerns or questions.

Information We Collect

To provide meaningful services and to maintain effective communication with our supporters, FEHC may collect certain types of personal and non-personal information. Personal information includes details such as your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address when you voluntarily provide them to us through forms, email communications, event registrations, or donations. Non-personal information may include your IP address, browser type, geographic location, and pages accessed on our website. This information helps us improve the user experience, tailor our communications, and strengthen our programs. We only collect information that is necessary and relevant to our mission of conservation and education.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for a variety of legitimate purposes. This includes responding to your inquiries, processing donations, providing updates about our projects, sending newsletters, and sharing information about volunteer opportunities. Information may also be used for administrative purposes such as record-keeping, improving our website, and ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Importantly, FEHC does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Any use of data is driven by the goal of strengthening our relationship with supporters and advancing our conservation mission.

Sharing of Information

FEHC will never share your personal information without your consent unless required by law or necessary to fulfill specific services. In some cases, we may engage trusted third-party service providers to help us with functions such as payment processing, email delivery, or website hosting. These providers are contractually obligated to keep your data secure and to use it only for the purposes specified by us. We may also share aggregated, non-identifiable information with partners and funders to report on the reach and impact of our work. Such data cannot be used to identify any individual personally.

Data Security

We take strong measures to protect your personal data against loss, theft, unauthorized access, or misuse. Our website and internal systems employ security protocols such as encryption, secure servers, and limited access controls to ensure that your information remains safe. While no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure, we continuously review and update our practices to align with industry standards. We also encourage users to protect their own information by using strong passwords, keeping their devices secure, and contacting us immediately if they suspect unauthorized activity involving their personal data.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve functionality, analyze traffic, and enhance user experience. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us remember preferences, measure engagement, and customize content. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may limit certain features of our website. We use these tools responsibly to ensure that they benefit visitors without compromising privacy.

Your Rights

You have important rights regarding your personal data. These include the right to access the information we hold about you, the right to request corrections if your data is inaccurate, and the right to request deletion of your information where applicable. You may also choose to opt out of receiving newsletters or promotional communications from us at any time. To exercise these rights, simply contact us using the details provided below. We are committed to responding promptly and ensuring that your preferences are respected.

Children’s Privacy

FEHC does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we discover that a child has provided us with personal data without parental or guardian consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. We encourage parents and guardians to actively monitor their children’s online activities to ensure their safety.

International Data Transfers

Because our projects and supporters span across different countries, information you provide may be transferred to and stored in locations outside your country of residence. Regardless of where data is processed, we ensure that it is handled in compliance with applicable data protection laws and with the same level of care and protection described in this Privacy Policy.

Updates to This Policy

FEHC may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or organizational practices. Whenever we make significant updates, we will post the revised version on our website and indicate the date of the last revision. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically to remain informed about how their information is being protected.
