At Habitat for the Future, we’re driven by one purpose — to protect the planet we all share and also your Privacy with our Privacy Policy.
Our organisation is dedicated to conserving wildlife, restoring natural habitats, and creating a sustainable future for generations to come.
We operate transparently and with integrity in everything we do — including how we handle your information. Your trust means as much to us as the ecosystems we protect, and we’re committed to safeguarding both.

Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you type into the comment box, along with your IP address and browser type. This helps us stop spam and keep the website safe for everyone.
If you use a Gravatar profile picture, the Gravatar service may check your email address to link it. Their privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may appear next to it publicly.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please don’t include any location data (like GPS information). Visitors to the site could download images and see that data.
Cookies
Cookies are small files that help your browser remember certain things.
We use cookies to make your experience easier — for example, so you don’t have to re-enter your details every time you leave a comment.
- Comment cookies last for one year.
- Login cookies last for two days (or two weeks if you choose “Remember Me”).
- Screen setting cookies last for one year.
- If you edit or publish an article, a temporary cookie is saved for one day.
We also use a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies — it doesn’t store any personal data.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Some pages on our site include videos, images, or articles from other websites (for example, YouTube or Instagram). When this happens, it works just like visiting those other websites directly.
These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, or track how you interact with their content — especially if you have an account and are logged in there.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you ask for a password reset, your IP address will be included in that email to help confirm it’s really you. We don’t sell or share your personal details with anyone for marketing purposes.
How Long We Keep Your Data
If you leave a comment, we keep it and its related data indefinitely. This helps us recognise and approve future comments faster.
If you register for an account, we store the information you provide in your profile. You can see, edit, or delete most of your details at any time (except your username).
Website administrators can also see and edit this information if needed.
Your Rights Over Your Data
You can ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you. You can also ask us to delete it — except for anything we must keep for legal or security reasons.
To make a request, just contact us through our website’s contact form or by email.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection system to help keep our site safe from bots and spam.
✅ Summary
We use your information only to run our website smoothly and keep it safe. We’ll never sell your personal data, and we’ll always treat your privacy with respect.
