PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) sets forth the policies and practices of GlobeMentum, LLC regarding the use and disclosure of the information we collect from you when you visit or interact with this website, with our app, with our services, with any of our platforms, or with us, either as a customer or a donor or a visitor. The words “GlobeMentum”, “we”, “us”, or “our company” mean GlobeMentum, LLC, the legal entity which operates this website and corresponding services. The word “GlobeMentum.com” (as well as all of its subdomains), “website”, “site”, or “platform” mean this website or app, whether it’s presented in the format of a website or an app. The words “you”, “your”, “yours”, “user”, “donor”, “subscriber”, or “customer” mean you the natural person who interacts with this website either as a visitor, or as a donor, or as a paying customer, and regardless of whether you are acting on your own behalf or on behalf of a company or entity. You may act only on your own behalf or on behalf of an entity of which you are a legal representative; you may not act on behalf of another natural person when interacting with this website. Your use of the site constitutes your understanding of, and agreement to, this Privacy Policy.
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
The term ‘personal information’ is equivalent to the term ‘personal data’ (used in the European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (or GDPR)), as well as ‘your information’, or ‘your data’. We process your personal data for administering the specific purpose(s), for which you gave us your personal data. By filling out and submitting a donate form, a contact form, or any other form on our website, you give us your explicit consent to process your data for such purpose(s).
WHAT DATA WE COLLECT, AND HOW WE USE IT
Providing your personal information to us is voluntary by you. We do not collect information about you from other sources. Collecting such information can take place in one or more of these instances:
(1) When You Make a Donation on Our Website
When you fill out the donate form, you provide your full name and email address. We will use your information only for administering your donation. If you selected ”YES“ on the donate page to have your name pubished on this site (acknowledging that you are a donor), we may publish you name accordingly; however, we will not publish any of your contact information. Furthermore, only authorized person(s) with the obligation to handle your data for its intended purpose have access to your data. From time to time, we may send you emails (such as emails with information) which, in our judgement, may be of interest to you. However, you may opt out of receiving such emails by following the link in the footer of any such email you have received from us.
Filling out and submitting the donate form does not establish you as a customer.
Your donation transaction is handled by Stripe, our payment processor. Depending on your location, you may have options for different payment methods to use, such as credit‑ or debit card, SEPA, or other methods. On the checkout page, Stripe will automatically present the payment methods that are available to you. All personal information you submit on the checkout page is handled and transmitted by Stripe. Of all that information, GlobeMentum will have access only to your name, but will not have access to your credit card information, or address information at any point before, during, or after the transaction. Therefore, we do not (and would not be able to) store or view any such information.
(2) When You Sign Up for Our Email Newsletter
When you enter your email address in a signup form, and submit that form, we collect your email address to enable us to deliver information to you that we distribute through our newsletter(s). On occassion, we may also send you informational or marketing emails that we believe might be of interest to you, but we will not inundate you with unrelated emails. You may unsubscribe from our email newsletter(s) by following the link in the footer of any of those emails.
(3) When You Submit a Contact Form
When you submit a contact form on our website, it does not establish you as a customer or donor. We collect your name in order for us to know who is communicating with us; as well as information that is necessary for us to respond to your inquiry appropriately (email address, and your message). If you don’t feel comfortable submitting any part of the information, do not submit the form. Also, do not submit any additional personal information (such as ID numbers, or other sensitive information) that the form doesn’t require.
UNSOLICITED PERSONAL INFORMATION
Please do not send us any personal or personally identifiable information in any communication with us that the corresponding form, or we, do not require for a specific purpose; or information or document that you wish to retain for the future. We will not send back any information or document, and we will not be liable for any information you send to us regardless of whether we have read such information in full, or in part, or not at all. We will not be responsible, and can not be held liable, for the possession or misuse of such information. If you submit such information, we may permanently delete or destroy your complete submission or communication at our own discretion; and therefore, we do not guarantee for you to receive a response.
WILLINGLY PROVIDING INFORMATION
If a form on our website requires certain information that you do not want to provide, do not fill out and submit that form. In such case, the corresponding service will be unavailable to you. By submitting a form, you explicitely express your willingness to submitting the information that the form requires, and you consent to all terms and policies relevant to your form submission.
PERSONALLY NON‑IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Personally non‑identifiable information means information that this site may collect through the use of ‘cookies’ from anybody who visits the site.

We may collect personally non‑identifiable information, and aggregate such information for us to better understand the site visitors′ interests.

We do not sell or rent your personally identifiable data to third parties. However, in the event in which we may intentionally transfer your personally identifiable information to one or more third parties is in case of a merger or acquisition to which this site or its owner is a party. We may retain your personally non‑identifiable information indefinitely.
We may share your personally identifiable information with third‑party vendors or service providers who perform tasks on our behalf. Currently, our third‑party vendors include Stripe—our payment processor.
If we believe that your use of the site or your use of any content on the site is harmful to us, or to others (whether related or unrelated to GlobeMentum), or is unlawful, we reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information to appropriate third parties in order to remedy the results of such conduct, or otherwise take action in relation to such conduct, or to prevent further such conduct.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information on the basis of legal obligation, such as complying with law enforcement or fulfilling a court order or other lawfully binding demand; or, on the basis of legitimate interest or public interest, such as enforcing any agreement or license with you, protecting the rights or property or safety of the site or its owner or other parties.
CHILDREN
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If you are under 13 years of age, please do not attempt to become a customer, or to make a donation; and do not send any personal information about yourself on any of the forms on our website, or by any other means. If we learn that a child under the age of 13 submitted personal information to us, we will delete that information promptly.
THIRD PARTY WEBSITES
There might be hyperlinks on this site that link to third‑party websites. We are not responsible for, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to, the privacy practices of third‑party websites; furthermore, we do not endorse the privacy practices of third‑party websites. Third‑party websites might collect information from you if you visit those sites. We strongly encourage you to seek out and read the privacy policies of such websites before you decide to engage with them.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR USERS IN COUNTRIES WHERE THE GDPR IS IN EFFECT
HOW WE COLLECT AND STORE YOUR INFORMATION
We collect your information only via specific forms on our website, secured by current SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology which ensures that the data transmitted from the page (where you enter your information) to our server is encrypted; and hence, protected from interception or tempering. We store your data in a secure data center located in Iceland. All your personally identifiable data that is transmitted to us is submitted voluntarily by you on one or more of those forms on our website. We do not collect personal data from third‑parties.
SOLICITATION
We do not send marketing or promotion emails advertising any third‑party products or services. We may send emails with news about our company, or about our company’s evolving or new products or services.
If you provided your email address to us either through donation or by signing up to our newsletter, we may occasionally send you emails with information that is directly or indirectly related to—or complements—the purpose of our mission or the content of our website; or, if we think that information may be of interest to you. This aformentioned statement was also provided to you on the page where you submitted your information. You may unsubscribe from receiving such emails by following the corresponding link in the footer of those emails; however, doing so will also unsubscribe you from the service or subscription for which you submitted your information. If you wish to unsubscribe, we encourage to reconsider it, as such informational emails are sent only on occasion.
YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS
THE RIGHT TO ACCESS
You have the right to request that we send you a copy of your personal data that we hold about you. We may charge a small fee for this service.
THE RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION
You have the right to request that our company correct any personal information we hold about you that you believe is inaccurate. You also have the right to request that we complete information about you that we hold if you believe such information to be incomplete; except, we do not accept additional personal information that is not required for providing our service(s) to you. (As an example, none of our services require users to provide their national identification numbers; and therefore, we will not accept such information even if you wish to provide it.) In case you submit such information despite this policy, we will promptly destroy that information permanently, and will not use it for any purpose.
THE RIGHT TO ERASURE
You have the right to request that our company erase your personal data under certain conditions. If your personal data is no longer necessary for its original purpose, or you wish to withraw your consent, you may request erasure of your personal data; however, if we have a legal obligation to retain it, we will not be able to fulfill your request.
THE RIGHT TO RESTRICT PROCESSING
You have the right to request that our company restrict the processing of your personal data under certain conditions. That is, you may request that we limit how we use your data, rather than erasing it. For example, if you contest the accuracy of the data; or we no longer need your data for providing services to you but you need us to retain it for legal purposes; or you no longer wish to subscribe to our service(s) but legal data retention obligations prevent us from erasing it.
THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO PROCESSING
You have the right to object to our company’s processing of your personal data under certain conditions. You can object when your personal data is being processed for direct marketing, scientific‑ or historical research, statistical purposes, or if processing your personal data is in violation of our legitimate interest or is not necessary in providing our service(s) to you.
THE RIGHT TO PORTABILITY
You have the right to request that our company transfer the personal data we have collected about you to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions. Transferring your personal data must be based either on your consent, or be necessary for the performance of a contract. Any such data transfer will take place only through automated means (i.e. without paper copies).
HOW TO MAKE A REQUEST
If you make a request for any of the above data protection rights, we will have one month (as specified in the GDPR) to respond to you. You may contact us at:
