How Do We Collect Your Information?

We may collect information about you when you interact with us. For example when you contact Equimundo, send or receive information to or from us, register for our newsletter, engage with our social media, or make a donation to us, you may provide us with your personal information.

We may collect information about you from publicly available sources through third-party subscription services or services providers.

We may collect aggregated or anonymous information when you visit our website or interact with our content. For example, we may collect information about the services you use and how you use them, like when you visit certain pages on our website; watch a video on YouTube; or interact on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn.

We do not use cookies to collect this type of information. All online financial transactions will be encrypted.

If you have identified that you may want to, and have the capacity, to support Equimundo, we may use the information we hold to initiate further contact with you and to connect you with other key supporters of Equimundo. We may review other information about you that is available to the public through internet searches, social networks such as LinkedIn, subscription services, new archives or public databases, such as information about corporate directorships, shareholdings, published biographic information, employment and earnings, philanthropic interests and networks, charitable giving history and motivations, and relevant media coverage, so that we can engage with you in a more personalized way.

How Do We Use Personal Information?

We only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to receive an explanation as to how the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us at contact@equimundo.org.

Rights of EU Data Subjects:
