Data & Privacy

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how The Island Keeper Media LTD. handles personal data when you browse the public website, contact us, or interact with limited participation features such as the next-cleanup counter.

Contact requests

When you submit the contact form, we process the information you provide so we can review your message and respond.

Security & access

Limited technical and access data may be processed to protect the website, support admin access, and reduce abuse.

Cleanup participation

The next-cleanup page uses limited identifiers to help keep the public participation counter fair and resistant to duplicate or automated submissions.

Who we are

The Island Keeper Media LTD. operates this website to share environmental initiatives, community cleanup activity, and ways to get in touch or participate.

For data-protection questions about this website, you can contact us using the email address shown on this page.

What data we collect

The data we process depends on how you use the site.

If you contact us, we may process your name, email address, subject, and message. If you access restricted admin areas, we may process account and session information needed to authenticate access. If you use the next-cleanup participation feature after accepting the relevant notice, we may process limited browser, device, or participation identifiers used to protect the integrity of the public counter.

  • Contact details and message content that you voluntarily submit.
  • Authentication or session data needed for restricted administrative access.
  • Technical and security-related data such as request metadata, abuse-prevention signals, and limited participation identifiers.

How we use personal data

We use personal data only where there is a clear operational reason to do so.

Typical purposes include responding to messages, operating the website, maintaining account security, preventing spam or abuse, keeping participation features reliable, and meeting legal obligations.

Who we share data with

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited data with service providers that help us host, secure, and operate the website.

This can include infrastructure providers, database or hosting providers, anti-abuse or fraud-prevention tools, embedded third-party services, and professional advisers when reasonably necessary.

How long we keep data

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including security, support, record-keeping, and legal compliance needs.

Retention periods may vary by data type. Contact requests may be kept long enough to manage the conversation and follow-up. Security and access data may be retained for a reasonable period to investigate abuse, protect the site, and maintain records.

For the next-cleanup participation feature, the consent and participation cookies currently expire after 90 days. Participation records are removed if you withdraw through the Cookie Policy controls or when the cleanup counter is reset for a future event.

Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent where consent is the legal basis.

You may also have the right to complain to a competent supervisory authority. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside your country. Where that happens, we take reasonable steps to use appropriate safeguards required by applicable law.

The exact transfer mechanism may depend on the provider and the jurisdiction involved.

Policy updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or service changes.

When we make material changes, we will update the effective date on this page.
