Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-16

This Privacy Policy explains how Your Focus processes personal data and related technical information when you use the website, subscribe to updates, or send us a message. It is drafted for an educational public-interest website that does not provide medical services, does not create user accounts, and does not accept payments or donations through the public-facing part of the site.

1. Data controller

The controller of personal data processed through the website is the non-governmental organization "Attention Movement" (Your Focus), Ukrainian registration code 46045833, address: 27 Yednosti St., Fontanka village, Odesa region, 67571, Ukraine.

For privacy requests, access, correction, or deletion inquiries, contact us at info@your-focus.org or call +380936448744.

2. Scope of this policy

This policy applies to the public Your Focus website, article pages, the contact form, the newsletter subscription form, and related technical processes required to operate the website. It does not apply to third-party websites, services, or policies that may be linked from our pages.

3. What data we may process

  • Subscription data: the email address you enter in the newsletter form.
  • Contact data: your name, email address, message text, and any other information you voluntarily include in the contact form.
  • Technical usage data: IP address, browser type, interface language, request date and time, referrer URL, requested pages and files, and other basic log information that may be automatically generated by the web server, hosting provider, or security infrastructure.
  • Banner preference data: the site stores a browser local-storage record showing that you dismissed the privacy banner.
  • Administrative data: a separate authentication cookie is used only for authorized administrators of the internal admin area and is not used for ordinary public visitors.

4. Why we use data and our legal grounds

  • Newsletter updates: to send Your Focus materials if you choose to provide your email. Legal basis: your consent.
  • Replying to messages: to review your inquiry, respond to you, and continue communication at your request. Legal basis: your initiative in contacting us and our legitimate interest in handling correspondence.
  • Website operation and security: to keep the website available, secure the admin area, detect technical issues, and prevent misuse. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in safe and stable operation.
  • Legal compliance: where retention or disclosure is required by law or a lawful request from a competent authority.

5. Sensitive and health-related information

The website is informational in nature and is not intended to collect special categories of personal data, including health information, diagnoses, or treatment details. Please do not send unnecessary sensitive information through the contact form. If you voluntarily include such information, we will use it only to the extent necessary to review and respond to your message.

6. Who may access the data

  • Authorized Your Focus team members who administer the website, respond to inquiries, or handle subscriptions.
  • Technical contractors or hosting providers only to the extent needed for hosting, maintenance, and security.
  • Government authorities, courts, or law enforcement bodies where we are legally required to disclose information.

We do not sell personal data, do not provide subscriber lists to advertising networks, and do not use your messages for third-party marketing.

7. International access and cross-border processing

The website is accessible to users from different countries. As part of technical maintenance, some data may be processed by infrastructure providers outside your country. Where that happens, we aim to use arrangements that provide an appropriate level of contractual and organizational protection.

8. How long we keep data

  • Newsletter emails are kept until you withdraw consent, request deletion, or the mailing list is no longer relevant.
  • Contact-form messages are kept for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the request, continue correspondence, protect against misuse, and meet legal obligations.
  • Technical logs and service records may be retained for the period needed for security, stability, and diagnostics.
  • Browser local-storage records remain until you clear your browser data or change device settings.

9. Cookies and similar technologies

On the public part of the website, we use browser local storage to remember that you have dismissed the informational banner so it does not reappear on every visit. A separate authentication cookie is used only in the admin area to protect access for authorized personnel. If we add analytics tools in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.

10. Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • obtain confirmation of whether your personal data is being processed;
  • request access to, correction of, updating of, or deletion of your data;
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
  • restrict or object to processing where the law allows;
  • lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@your-focus.org. We may ask you to clarify the request or confirm that you are the relevant data subject.

11. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data against accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure.

12. Children's data

The website is general informational content and is not intended for the targeted collection of children's personal data. If you are under the age of majority, we recommend contacting us only with the involvement or consent of a parent or legal guardian.

13. External links

The website may contain links to partners, external resources, or socially useful services. We do not control their privacy practices and recommend reviewing their own privacy documents separately.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time if the website functionality, our data-processing practices, or legal requirements change. The current version is always published on this page together with the latest update date.
