Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Nonprofit Transparency: As a nonprofit organization dedicated to marine conservation, the Sea Farmer Foundation is committed to full transparency in how we handle your data. We collect only what is necessary and never sell your information.

The Sea Farmer Foundation ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices when you visit our website, make donations, or participate in our programs.

How visits are counted

This site counts visits with a counter run by our website provider, IrieVybz AI. It starts when a page opens and does not wait for a cookie choice. It records the page you open and its title, the site that sent you here, your browser and device type, your window width, and how long the page stays open. If you came from an ad or campaign link, it keeps that link's campaign tags. When you press a button or link, it records the wording on it and where it leads (a call, an email, WhatsApp or a page). It masks phone numbers and email addresses it recognises in that wording. When you press send on a form, it records that. Nothing you type into a form is kept by the counter. Your visit gets a random number that stays in your browser until you close the tab. The counter sets no cookies. Your IP address is used for a one-minute flood check and is not saved with the visit.

A banner asks about extra analytics. If you press Accept All, the site also loads Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. Both use cookies. If you press Reject All, neither loads. The visit counter runs either way.

Cookies

The site remembers your banner choice in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity set their cookies only after you press Accept All. You can change your choice at any time through the "Cookie Preferences" link in our footer.

Donor Privacy

We respect the privacy of our donors. We do not sell, trade, or share donor information with third parties for their marketing purposes. Donor information is used solely for processing donations, providing receipts, and communicating about our mission.

Data Retention

We retain donation records as required by nonprofit accounting regulations. Newsletter and volunteer data is retained as long as you remain subscribed or active. Analytics data is kept in anonymized form.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
Request correction or deletion of your personal information.
Turn Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity off through cookie preferences. The visit counter keeps running.
Unsubscribe from newsletters and communications at any time.
Request anonymity for your donations.

Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information. All donation transactions are processed through secure, encrypted connections.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
