Effective date: October 1, 2026
Privacy Policy
Information we collect
We collect information you choose to provide when you contact us, subscribe to our newsletter, or apply for a grant or role — such as your name, email address, organization, and the contents of your message. We also collect limited technical information automatically, including your browser type and general location, to help us operate and improve the site.
How we use information
We use the information you provide to respond to enquiries, evaluate partnership and grant opportunities, send communications you have requested, and understand how our site is used. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making that produces legal effects.
Sharing and disclosure
We share personal information only with service providers who help us operate the Foundation under confidentiality obligations, or where required by law. Research collaborations are conducted under separate agreements that govern any exchange of data.
Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described here, to comply with our legal obligations, and to resolve disputes. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].
Updates to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
