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 (like our RAMP project) addressing those needs.

Our vision is to see personal relationships transforming an unjust world so we value everyone who partners, prays and engages with us. 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.
