- Send newsletters and updates, where you have subscribed
- Detect and prevent spam, abuse, and security incidents

7. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA, UK, and Similar Jurisdictions)
Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on:
- Consent, for example when you subscribe to our newsletter or accept non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interests, such as operating and improving the Site, ensuring security, and understanding audience engagement, balanced against your rights.
- Legal obligation, where we must comply with applicable law.
8. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only with:
- Service providers that help us operate the Site, such as web hosting (Hostinger), analytics (Google), and email delivery services, who may process data only on our behalf.
- Legal and safety recipients, when disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect our rights, users, or the Site.
- Successors, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or transfer of the Site.
9. International Data Transfers
Our service providers may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
10. Newsletter
If you subscribe, we use a third-party email service provider to store your email address and send our emails. Every email contains an unsubscribe link, and you may unsubscribe at any time. We will not use your email address for unrelated purposes.
11. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content
The Site may contain links to, or embedded content from, third-party websites and services (for example, social media or video platforms). These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.
12. Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure
We do not currently display third-party advertising. We may in the future use advertising networks or affiliate links, which may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. If we do, we will update this Policy and clearly disclose it.
13. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer period is required by law. Email correspondence is retained for as long as needed to handle your request; newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe.
14. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including HTTPS encryption and access controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Restrict or object to certain processing
- Request a portable copy of your information
- Withdraw consent at any time
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority
To exercise these rights, email contact@bebup.org. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will reply within a reasonable time and as required by law.
16. California Residents
California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To make a request, contact us at contact@bebup.org.
17. Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us and we will delete it.
18. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no uniform standard for responding to such signals, the Site does not currently respond to them.
19. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be highlighted on the Site where appropriate. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
