6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as pixels and web beacons) to:

  • Remember your preferences and settings

  • Maintain your account session

  • Analyze website traffic and usage patterns

  • Improve user experience and service delivery

Types of cookies we use:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for core website functionality. Cannot be disabled.

  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our site (e.g., Google Analytics).

  • Preference Cookies: Remember your settings and personalization choices.

You may manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our Services. To opt out of analytics tracking, you may use tools such as the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable and appropriate technical, administrative, and organizational safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These include encryption of data in transit (SSL/TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews.

However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

In the event of a data breach that is reasonably likely to result in significant harm to affected individuals, we will notify affected members and relevant authorities as required by applicable law, without undue delay.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide our Services and maintain your account

  • Maintain required business and financial records

  • Comply with applicable legal, tax, and regulatory obligations

  • Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements

When your personal information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it. Account information is typically retained for up to [X] years following account closure, unless a longer period is required by law.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

  • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions.

  • Restriction: Request that we limit how we process your information in certain circumstances.

  • Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

  • Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

California law gives you the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, including sharing for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising.

Global Peace Project does not sell personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration, and we do not share personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising (for example, we do not use advertising pixels, ad-network tags, or retargeting technologies). We use standard web analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, solely to understand site traffic and usage; this use does not constitute a “sale” or “share” of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA.

Global Privacy Control (GPC): Global Peace Project recognizes and honors the Global Privacy Control signal as a valid consumer request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, for browsers or devices that transmit it, to the extent required by applicable law.

Because we do not currently sell or share personal information as defined under the CCPA/CPRA, no additional action is generally required to opt out. If our practices change to include the sale or sharing of personal information, we will update this Policy and provide a dedicated “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism on our website before doing so.

To submit a request regarding any of the rights described above, please contact us at the information below.

To exercise any of these rights, please submit a written request to:

[Insert Contact Email]

We will respond to verifiable requests within 30 days (or as otherwise required by applicable law). We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

10. Marketing Communications and Opt-Out

With your consent, we may send you promotional emails, newsletters, and updates about our Services. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by:

  • Clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any marketing email; or

  • Contacting us at [Insert Email] with a request to be removed from marketing lists.

Please note that even after opting out of marketing communications, you will continue to receive transactional and service-related messages (e.g., account confirmations, billing notices) as these are necessary to administer your membership.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

Our website and Services may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services that are not owned or operated by Global Peace Project. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party services.

12. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are intended for individuals who are at least 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately at [Insert Email]. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a minor, we will take prompt steps to delete it from our records.

13. International Users and Data Transfers

Global Peace Project is based in the United States. If you access our Services from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

Where required by applicable law (such as the GDPR), we ensure that international data transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by relevant authorities or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.

By using our Services, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your information to the United States as described in this Policy.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will:

  • Post the updated policy on our website with a revised effective date; and

  • Notify active members by email or prominent notice within our Services at least 14 days before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of our Services after the effective date of any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
