The short version: we collect as little as possible, we never sell or share your data for marketing, and there is no tracking on this site. What little we do hold, you can see, correct, or have erased with a single email.
Savena is an independent conservation initiative, run from the Netherlands. For anything in this policy, write to hello@savena.earth.
If you sign up for Field Notes, we store your email address, with your consent as the legal basis. We use double opt-in, so nothing is sent until you confirm from your own inbox, and we record when that confirmation happened, as proof of consent.
Every letter carries a one-click unsubscribe link. When you unsubscribe, we keep your address marked as unsubscribed so we can be certain never to write to you again. If you'd rather be erased entirely, email us and we will delete the record.
Your address is used for Field Notes only. Never for anything else, never passed to anyone else.
Donations are processed by WhyDonate, a Dutch donation platform, on their own secure pages. Your payment details never touch our website or servers; what you enter there is handled by WhyDonate under their privacy policy.
This site sets no tracking cookies and runs no analytics or advertising scripts. We don't follow you around the web, we don't build profiles, and we have nothing to sell.
As on any website, standard short-lived technical logs exist for security, which is our legitimate interest in keeping the site safe. They expire on their own.
We keep no servers of our own. The site runs on a small set of established European and GDPR-bound providers (hosting, database, email delivery, and payments), each seeing only what its job requires, under data-processing agreements. We never hand your data to anyone else.
Under the GDPR you can ask, at any time, to see the data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to object to how it's used, or to receive a copy of it. One email to hello@savena.earth is enough. We'll answer as soon as possible, and there's no form to fill in.
If you feel we've handled your data poorly, you also have the right to complain to the Dutch data-protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens. We'd appreciate the chance to fix it first.
If the way we handle data changes (a new service, a new purpose), we'll update this page and the date at the top. We won't quietly widen what we collect.
