The legal essentials.

The MCO Foundation respects your privacy and processes personal data only when necessary and proportionate to the operation of the foundation. This statement explains what data is collected through this website, why, and what your rights are under UK data-protection law.

Data controller

The data controller for personal information collected through this website is the MCO Foundation, at the registered office address above. For any data-related inquiries, contact info@mcofoundation.org.

What data is collected

This is a static website. We do not use analytics platforms, tracking pixels, advertising cookies, social-media widgets, or third-party tools that profile visitors.

• When you email us at info@mcofoundation.org, we receive your email address, the content of your message, and any data you choose to include. This information is used only to respond to your inquiry and to keep a record of correspondence relevant to the foundation's work.
• Server logs kept by our hosting provider may include your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and the time of your visit. These logs are retained for a limited period for security and operational purposes.
• Web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts at fonts.googleapis.com. This transmits your IP address to Google in the United States while the font files are being fetched. If you do not consent to this transmission, please leave the website. We are evaluating self-hosting fonts to remove this third-party dependency.

How long data is retained

Email correspondence is retained as long as it remains relevant to your inquiry or to the foundation's records. You may request deletion at any time by emailing info@mcofoundation.org. Server logs are retained for short, operationally necessary periods by our hosting provider.

Your rights

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to:

• Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete data
• Request erasure of your data, subject to legal retention requirements
• Object to or restrict the processing of your data
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk

Cookies

This website does not set tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies. If this changes (for example, if analytics or embedded media are added in the future), a cookie consent notice will be introduced and a cookie policy will be published at that time.

Changes to this statement

This statement will be updated as the foundation grows and as additional programs and services launch. Any material changes will be reflected in the update date below.
