Privacy Policy


How We Handle Personal Information

Expedition Audacity Research Foundation (“EAR Foundation,” “we,” or “us”) respects the privacy of individuals who engage with our work.


This Privacy Policy explains how limited personal information may be collected, used, stored, and protected when you interact with our website, communications, donations, or programmes.


This policy should be read alongside our Terms of Engagement, which govern participation and use of this website, and Our Commitments, which outline how we choose to work.


Information We May Collect


We may collect limited personal information when you:

  • Contact us directly
  • Subscribe to updates or newsletters
  • Make a donation or financial contribution
  • Apply for or participate in expeditions, research, or events
  • Interact with our website
     

This information may include names, email addresses, contact details, and other information voluntarily provided. We do not knowingly collect unnecessary or excessive personal data.


How Information Is Used


Personal information is used solely for legitimate operational purposes, including:

  • Responding to enquiries and communications
  • Administering participation, donations, or programme logistics
  • Providing updates related to our mission or activities
  • Meeting legal, regulatory, or reporting obligations
     

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.


Media & Documentation

Participation in EAR Foundation activities may involve photography, video, audio, or written documentation.


Where applicable, permissions or releases are obtained in advance. Some materials may be anonymised, delayed, restricted, or withheld from publication where ethical, safety, legal, or community considerations apply.


Cookies & Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support essential site functionality, understand aggregate website usage, and improve user experience.


These technologies may collect non-identifying information such as browser type, device information, and pages visited. We do not use cookies for behavioural profiling or targeted advertising.


Cookies can be managed or disabled through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain website features.


Data Storage & Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse.


No system of data transmission or storage is entirely secure. Engagement with our website or communications is undertaken at the individual’s own risk.


Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law or legitimate operational necessity.


When personal information is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised where reasonably practicable.


Third-Party Services

We may engage third-party service providers to support administrative, technical, or operational functions such as website hosting, communications, or donation processing.


These providers are required to handle personal information in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection standards. The EAR Foundation is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites or platforms not under its control.


Individual Rights


Where applicable under local law, individuals may request:

  • Access to personal information held about them
  • Correction of inaccurate or outdated information
  • Deletion of personal information, subject to legal or operational requirements
     

Requests may be made using the contact details provided below.


International Engagement

As the EAR Foundation operates internationally, personal information may be processed or stored in different jurisdictions.


We take reasonable steps to ensure personal information is handled responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws and standards.


Updates to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect legal, operational, or organisational changes.


The most current version will always be available on our website. Continued engagement with our website or programmes constitutes acknowledgement of the current policy.
