Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 August 2026. This notice explains how Future Forest Foundation handles personal information when you use this website, subscribe for updates, contact us, or follow links to third-party services.

Important: This policy is a practical website baseline. Before relying on it as your final legal notice, add the Foundation’s formal privacy contact details and review it against the actual tools, mailing platform, analytics and donation services you use.

1. Who we are

Future Forest Foundation is a non-profit focused on protecting, restoring and rewilding natural landscapes. For privacy questions or requests, please use the Contact link in the site footer. The Foundation should add a monitored privacy email address and, where required, a postal contact address here before launch.

2. Information we may collect

Depending on how the website is configured, we may receive information you choose to provide, such as your email address when you subscribe or information you send when contacting us. Our hosting and security providers may also process technical information such as IP address, browser information, request logs and security events needed to deliver and protect the site.

3. How we use information

To provide the website and keep it secure.
To send updates you have asked to receive.
To respond to enquiries and manage relationships with supporters, partners and visitors.
To understand and improve the website where lawful analytics or measurement tools are used.
To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

4. Our lawful bases

Where UK data protection law applies, the lawful basis will depend on the purpose. This may include your consent, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the website and communicating about our work, steps taken at your request, or compliance with legal obligations. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

5. Donations and third-party services

Support links on this website take you to Ko-fi. Donations and any information you provide there are handled by Ko-fi under its own terms and privacy practices. This website is hosted using Cloudflare infrastructure, which may process technical information necessary to provide, secure and operate the service.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

The current site does not intentionally set advertising cookies. Hosting, security or future services may use essential or similar technologies. If non-essential analytics, marketing or tracking technologies are added, the website should be updated with appropriate notice and consent controls before they are enabled where required.

7. Sharing and international transfers

We may share personal information with service providers that help us operate the website, communications or supporter services, only as needed for those purposes. Some providers may process information outside the UK. Where applicable, appropriate safeguards should be used for international transfers.

8. Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, security and record-keeping requirements. Mailing-list information should be removed or suppressed when you unsubscribe, subject to any minimal records needed to respect that choice.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including rights to access, correct or delete information, restrict or object to certain processing, obtain a copy of information, and withdraw consent. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our website, services or legal obligations change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated date.
