Who We Are

Afghan Covenant Forum (ACF) is an independent policy, research and dialogue initiative. Our website address is https://afghan-covenant.org. For privacy questions, contact contact@afghan-covenant.org.

Information We Collect

We do not currently use contact forms, public comments, advertising trackers, or analytics tools. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to provide, including your email address and message. Our hosting and security systems may automatically process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, access time, and requested pages.

How We Use Information

We use personal and technical information only to respond to inquiries, operate and secure the website, prevent abuse and malicious activity, diagnose technical problems, and comply with legal obligations.

Legal Basis

We process information on the basis of our legitimate interests in responding to inquiries and operating, maintaining, and securing the website. We may also process information where necessary to comply with a legal obligation.

Cookies

We do not currently use advertising or analytics cookies. WordPress and Wordfence may use cookies that are strictly necessary for administration, authentication, and website security. If we later introduce non-essential cookies or analytics, we will update this policy and request consent where required.

Hosting and Security Providers

The website is hosted by OVHcloud and protected by Wordfence, operated by Defiant Inc. These providers process limited technical information on our behalf to provide hosting and security services. Wordfence may process IP addresses and security-related request information to identify and block threats.

Who We Share Information With

We do not sell personal data. We share information only with service providers that help us host, operate, secure, or maintain the website, or when disclosure is required by law.

Data Retention

We retain email correspondence for up to 24 months after the last communication, unless it is needed longer for an ongoing matter or legal obligation. Technical and security logs are retained only as long as necessary to operate and protect the website, investigate security incidents, and meet applicable legal requirements.

Your Rights

Under applicable data-protection law, you may request access to, correction or deletion of your personal data, restriction of or objection to its processing, and, where applicable, data portability. To exercise these rights, email contact@afghan-covenant.org. You may also lodge a complaint with the French data-protection authority, the CNIL.

International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process limited technical data outside the European Economic Area. Where required, appropriate legal safeguards are used to protect personal data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services, or data practices change. The latest version will always appear on this page.
