Privacy Notice

Who is responsible for your information

This website is operated by Republic Foundation, using the Republic brand. For privacy questions or requests, contact contact@republicfoundation.com or use the Privacy request option on our contact page.

Republic Foundation has not appointed an EU representative or a data protection officer. If one is appointed, their details will be added here.

Information we collect

When you contact us, we receive the name, email address, organization information, inquiry category, and message you choose to provide. When you subscribe, we receive your email address, any optional name, and records needed to manage and demonstrate your subscription preferences.

Our website providers may process technical information necessary to deliver and secure the site, including IP addresses, browser information, timestamps, and security logs. This consists of request logs kept by our hosting provider, Vercel, and a daily count of views for each page. The page view count does not record IP addresses, use cookies, or keep any other information that identifies a visitor.

Do not submit sensitive personal records, identity documents, or confidential information through general forms. We do not ask you to provide political opinions or party preferences as part of subscribing or making an inquiry.

Why we use information

We use inquiry information to understand and respond to your request and to manage related correspondence. We use subscription information to send the updates you requested and administer your preferences. Technical information is used to operate, protect, and troubleshoot the website.

We rely on your consent to send the email updates you subscribe to; on our legitimate interests to respond to inquiries and to keep the website secure; and on legal obligations where the law requires us to keep or disclose information.

Who receives information

Access is limited to people and service providers who need information for the relevant task. The providers involved in hosting, forms, email delivery, security, and record management are Vercel (website hosting, security, and file storage), Neon (database), and Resend (email delivery). Pages also load fonts from Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts, which receive your IP address when your browser requests them. We may also disclose information where legally required or necessary to address a lawful request or protect legal rights, subject to applicable safeguards.

We do not sell personal information or share it for advertising. The website uses no advertising pixels, and we do not disclose information to data brokers or use it for political profiling.

International processing

Our providers may process information in the United States. Where a transfer requires safeguards, we use the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, as set out in each provider's data processing terms. To request more information about these safeguards, contact contact@republicfoundation.com. Do not assume that a US provider automatically satisfies every applicable transfer requirement.

How long we keep information

We keep information for the purposes described above and relevant legal or security needs. The applicable periods or criteria are: inquiries, up to two years after our last correspondence with you; subscription records, until you unsubscribe; consent and suppression records, for as long as needed to show your consent and to make sure we do not email you after you unsubscribe; technical logs, for the period set by our hosting provider, usually no more than 30 days.

Your choices and rights

You can unsubscribe from updates using the link in an email. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to processing, or receive a portable copy of certain information. Contact us to make a request. We may need to verify your identity proportionately. You may also have the right to complain to the data-protection authority in your place of residence, work, or the alleged infringement.

Cookies and automated decisions

Our Cookie Notice describes the technologies actually used on the website. We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

Children

The inquiry and subscription forms are intended for adults. We do not design these forms to collect information from children. Contact us if you believe a child has submitted personal information so that we can assess and address the situation.

Changes and contact

We will update this notice when our practices materially change and display the latest revision date. Material new uses may require additional notice or permission under applicable law. Questions can be sent to contact@republicfoundation.com.
