Privacy Policy
INTRODUCTION
Pursuit is a UK based charity that partners with existing local projects in more developing economies, and supports them to become more impactful and sustainable. We also identify gaps in areas of need, and help local organisations and field staff to establish new projects addressing those needs.
Our vision is to see a world where every child and young person belongs and thrives. With children and young people at the heart of all we do, we support them, their caregivers and communities, and work to break cycles of disadvantage, trauma and injustice. We cannot do this without our supporters who share in this vision and mission. We do all we can to protect your privacy and to make sure the data you provide us when you join our pursuit, is kept safe as we keep you updated with our work in the field.
This policy explains how we collect and process data, how we use and store information and what it means for you.
