Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 18, 2026

Forever Reuniting Families ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (the "Service"). Please read this policy carefully.

1. Information We Collect and Technical Disclosures

We collect personal data in two ways: information you voluntarily provide to us, and data collected automatically by our IT systems.

  • Voluntary Data: This includes personal information (such as your name, email address, physical address, and telephone number) that you explicitly provide when filling out a contact form, signing up for a newsletter, or making a donation.
  • Server Log Files: Our website provider automatically collects and stores technical data that your browser transmits to us in "server log files." This happens automatically upon entry and includes:
    • Browser type and browser version
    • Operating system used
    • Referrer URL (the page you visited immediately before ours)
    • Hostname of the accessing computer and IP address
    • Time of the server request
    • Note: This data is handled in accordance with contract fulfillment frameworks and is not combined with data from other sources.
  • Cookies: Our web pages use cookies to ensure optimized, error-free technical delivery and make the experience user-friendly.
    • Session Cookies: Automatically deleted after your visit.
    • Persistent Cookies: Remain in your device's memory until you manually delete them (allowing us to recognize your browser on a return visit).
    • You can configure your browser to reject cookies, though disabling them may limit some website functionalities.

2. Analytics, Social Media, and Third-Party Tools

When visiting our website, statistical analyses may be made of your browsing behavior. This analysis is generally anonymous, encrypted, and pseudonymized.

  • Matomo Analytics: This website utilizes the open-source web analytics service Matomo. It stores cookies on your device to analyze user behavior for platform optimization. The IP address is anonymized before it is stored, and this information is not disclosed to third parties. You can block or opt-out of this tracking via your individual browser settings.
  • LinkedIn Integrations: Our site incorporates features from the LinkedIn network. When pages containing these features are accessed, a direct connection to LinkedIn servers is established, informing them of your IP address. If you are logged into a LinkedIn account, they may associate your visit with your profile. We do not control or have access to the data transmitted to LinkedIn.

3. Financial Data and Encrypted Payments

All financial transactions, contract-related data, or donations made through our Service are processed securely.

  • Payment transactions using common payment methods (such as Visa/MasterCard) are made exclusively via encrypted SSL or TLS connections.
  • You can verify this encryption by looking for the "https://" prefix and the lock icon in your browser's address line. In the case of encrypted communication, payment details cannot be read by third parties. We do not store or retain full credit card numbers on our servers.

4. Newsletter and Contact Forms

  • Contact Forms: Data entered into our contact forms (including follow-up queries) is processed strictly based on your consent. We do not share this information without your permission, and you may revoke your consent at any time via an informal email.
  • Newsletters: If you register for our newsletter, we require a valid email address and verification data to confirm ownership. This data is used solely to distribute the requested material. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link provided in any newsletter.

5. Your Legal Rights Regarding Your Data

You retain full legal rights over your personal information at all times:

  • Access & Portability: You have the right to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin, its recipients, and the purpose of its collection. You have the right to have this data delivered to you or a third party in a standard, machine-readable format.
  • Correction & Deletion: You have the right to request that your data be corrected, blocked, or deleted.
  • Revocation: You may revoke any explicit data-processing consent you have previously given at any time with future effect.
  • Right to Complain: If you believe data protection regulations have been breached, you have the right to file a complaint with the competent regulatory authorities.

6. Opposition to Promotional Spam

We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of our website's legal notice or footer requirements for the purpose of sending unsolicited promotional or advertising materials (spam emails). We reserve the right to take swift legal action if unsolicited advertising is received.
