Email communications
People who subscribe to Follow the Investigation may receive occasional emails relating to research, field observations, expeditions, essays and publications, and the development of The Resilient Institution.
We will not treat subscription to these updates as permission to send unrelated third-party marketing.
Subscribers may unsubscribe at any time.
How information is stored
Personal information is stored using appropriate technical and organisational safeguards. Access is restricted to authorised persons and service providers where necessary to operate the website and communications.
Service providers
The website relies on trusted service providers for website hosting and secure database storage. Where third-party providers process personal information on behalf of The Resilient Institution, they receive only the information reasonably necessary to provide their service.
Data retention
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including maintaining appropriate records of subscription and consent.
Where a person unsubscribes, their information is no longer used to send subscription communications, subject to any minimal records reasonably required to honour the unsubscribe request or meet legal obligations.
Your choices and rights
Visitors may contact The Resilient Institution to request information about their personal data or, where applicable, request correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability or withdrawal of consent.
Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
Unsubscribing
Every research-update email contains a clear unsubscribe mechanism, and unsubscribe requests are processed automatically where practical. You can also unsubscribe here.
