Privacy Policy

LAST UPDATED: APRIL 15, 2026

We at the Global South Policy Hub understand that privacy is important and that our site visitors and subscribers care about how their personal data are used and shared online. We respect and value the privacy of everyone who visits our website, and will only collect and use personal data in the ways described here, in a manner consistent with our obligations and with our site visitors' and email subscribers' rights under the law.

We collect information in several ways:

• directly from you when you subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, donate, or otherwise submit information through the site;
• from service providers and partner platforms, including hosting, email delivery, analytics, and fundraising tools that help us operate our newsletter, fundraising, events, or communications; and
• from event collaborators, research partners, or co-sponsors when you engage in a joint activity.

We may use this information to:

• operate, maintain, and improve our website and communications;
• send newsletters, research updates, event announcements, and other materials;
• respond to questions, partnership inquiries, and media requests;
• manage donations and donor relations;
• measure engagement with our content and improve user experience;
• protect the security and integrity of our systems;
• comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting obligations.

We may disclose information to:

• newsletter and communications providers when you sign up to receive updates from us.
• fundraising and payment platforms, including EveryAction, when you make a donation or otherwise support our work through embedded forms or linked tools.
• event collaborators, research partners, or co-sponsors when you knowingly engage in a joint activity.
• law enforcement, regulators, or other parties where disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect our rights, safety, property, or users.

We use cookies and similar technologies to help the website function, understand traffic patterns, and improve the experience of our visitors.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies or similar technologies, some parts of the site may not work as intended.

When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the information you submit through our signup form and send it to our email communications provider so we can manage mailing lists and send communications you requested.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the message. If you contact us directly or complete a donation, we may still need to send transactional or administrative communications related to that interaction.

Donations made through our website are processed through third-party fundraising tools. When you submit a donation through an embedded form belonging to another platform or service provider, EveryAction may collect payment and donor information directly and process it under its own privacy practices in addition to ours.

We may receive donation-related information needed for acknowledgment, recordkeeping, stewardship, and compliance.

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide services, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information. No website, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Our website may link to third-party websites, social media platforms, or third-party management tools that we do not control. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information through those services.

Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through our website.

Global South Policy Hub engages audiences across multiple countries. Information may be processed in the United States or in other jurisdictions where our service providers operate, which may have data protection laws different from those in your home country.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last updated” date above.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle personal information, contact us at contact@gsphub.org.
