Ethical Seafood Research (\”ESR\”, \”we\”, \”us\” or \”our\”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, store and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website, contact us, subscribe to our updates, or make a donation, and it sets out your rights in relation to that information.
Ethical Seafood Research is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the welfare of aquatic animals in aquaculture through applied research, education and collaboration. For any questions about this policy or your personal data, you can contact us at info@ethicalseafoodresearch.org.
We only collect the information we need to operate as a charity and to communicate with our supporters. This may include:
Depending on the situation, we rely on your consent (for example, to send you marketing emails), our legitimate interests as a charity (for example, to understand and improve how our website is used), and compliance with legal obligations (for example, keeping records of donations).
We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone. We may share it with trusted service providers who help us run our organisation – such as our email and newsletter platform, payment processors, website hosting and analytics providers – who are only permitted to use it to provide services to us. We may also disclose information where required to do so by law.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some are essential for the site to function, while others help us measure and improve performance. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; please note that disabling some cookies may affect how the site works.
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, and to resolve any disputes. When it is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
As an organisation working internationally, your information may be processed by us or our service providers in countries outside your own. Where this happens, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data.
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to its processing, to request portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@ethicalseafoodresearch.org. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Our website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. While some of our educational materials are designed for young people, any related sign-ups should be completed by a parent, guardian or teacher.
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised \”last updated\” date.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal information, please contact us at info@ethicalseafoodresearch.org.
