Inteko is a voluntary organisation that pomotes integral ecology in the spirit of Pope Francis’ encyclical ‘Laudato Si’.
In order to carry out our work effectively we need to collect different types of information, including personal data.
This privacy policy will explain how Inteko uses the personal data we collect from you when you use our website.
The main points in our privacy policy:
If you have any questions please contact us.
In some areas of our website, we ask you to provide personal information that will enable us to enhance your site visit, contact you with information you request or that may be of interest to you, e.g. when you subscribe to our newsletters, make a donation, participate in an activity or contact us via our website. Personal information we request is limited to your name and email address.
We will only email you information about our work where you give us your consent to do so. We may email you information we believe may be of interest to you. For example, when you consent to being contacted by email, we might email you about an event we are hosting, to take action (such as sign a petition) or make a donation. You may also receive a welcome email letting you know about other ways to support us. Emails we send you will always give you the chance to opt out of receiving further emails. Alternatively, you can contact us to unsubscribe from our emails.
Inteko will not share your personal information with third parties unless in situations when we are obliged to do so by law.
The accuracy of your personal information is important to us. If you change email address or name please contact us.We aim to amend or delete any information we hold that is incorrect within one month or as soon as possible thereafter.
The security of your personal information is important to us and we will take appropriate precautions to protect it.
We use Paypal for handling donation payments. Inteko does not have access to your payment details. Please see Paypal’s privacy policy as we are not responsible for the way Paypal handles data.
Even with all of our precautions, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. So, whilst we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information which you disclose to us online and you must understand that you do so at your own risk.
