In brief, you can read LOAM without an account, and nothing about you is tracked, profiled or sold. What LOAM collects is what funders say in public.
Who is responsible
LOAM is operated by Comms for a Cause Labs, the data controller based in India. For anything on this page, write to team@projectloam.org.
What LOAM collects about funders
Public publications from funders' own websites and their organisations' own public social media accounts, with the link and date of each. Personal accounts of individuals are not collected. This material is read automatically for its themes, calendar moments and weekly changes; automated reading can make mistakes, and while I try to have a human look over it, that is not always possible. See legal and disclosures.
What LOAM collects about you
Browsing the atlas needs no sign-up. If you write to me, request a funder or send an enquiry, I keep what you sent (such as your name, email and message) only to reply and to act on it. There are no advertising cookies, no tracking pixels, no profiling, no sale or sharing of your details, and no automated decisions about you. Like any website, the hosting servers see your IP address and browser in routine logs.
Anything you search for or filter on the atlas is used only to show you results.
Newsletter subscriptions and delivery
If you subscribe, we keep your name, designation, organisation, country, email address, explicit email consent, payment subscription status and delivery records to provide Fundermental and manage your subscription. Paddle handles card details, billing, tax and receipts. We do not store card numbers. Resend handles newsletter delivery, contact preferences, unsubscribe requests, bounces and complaints.
Why and with whom
Account and subscription data is used to perform our contract with you. Newsletter delivery uses your consent. Routine security logs and support messages are processed for legitimate interests, and records required by law are kept under legal obligations. Hosting and authentication providers, Resend and Paddle receive only the data needed for their services. Professional advisers and authorities may receive records when legally necessary. Service providers may process data internationally, using appropriate contractual safeguards where required. We do not sell personal information or use advertising cookies.
Retention and security
Account, consent and subscription records are retained while needed to provide the service or comply with law, then deleted or anonymised. Delivery data follows the delivery provider’s retention periods. Access controls, encrypted connections and restricted admin access protect personal data. No system is perfectly secure.
How long messages are kept
If you ask to be notified when Fundermental subscriptions open, we keep your email address and the date of your consent only for that announcement. This does not enrol you in paid newsletters or create an account. Team LOAM may send the announcement through Resend. You can withdraw your request at any time by emailing team@projectloam.org. We delete the notification list after the announcement, or earlier if you ask.
Messages are kept while they are useful for replying, and deleted when you ask.
Your rights
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the UK and EU GDPR you can ask for a copy of what is held about you, its correction or deletion, withdraw consent, or object to a use. Write to team@projectloam.org; it will be handled as quickly as one person reasonably can, and within a month. You may also complain to your data protection authority, or in India to the Data Protection Board of India. LOAM is not directed at children.
