When you visit our website, contact us, or sign up for our newsletter, we only process the information that’s necessary for leuK.world to function properly — or the information you choose to share with us.
We use your data only for the purposes listed below and never for anything else. We don’t sell your data and only share it with trusted partners who help us provide our services.
When you visit our website: We collect information about how you use our website. We do this through cookies and Google Analytics. This helps us improve and secure the site. We keep this information for up to 14 months.
When you sign up for our newsletter: We ask for your name and email address so we can send you updates. We sometimes check whether emails are opened or clicked, so we can understand what’s most relevant to readers. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.

When you make a donation or join an activity: We use your details to process your payment or arrange your participation. Sometimes we need to keep information for legal reasons (for example, accounting).
When you view social media or videos on our site: Some parts of our website come from other platforms, such as YouTube or Instagram. These platforms may place cookies or collect information when you view their content. This only happens if you’ve given permission first.
We use cookies to make our website work properly and to keep improving it. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device. Some cookies are needed to make the site work technically, while others help us understand how visitors use the site or allow videos and social media content to be shown.
When you first visit our website, we ask for your permission to use non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time in the cookie settings.
Types of cookies we use:
We use Google Analytics in a privacy-friendly way, without cookies or personal identification. Only anonymous data — such as visited pages and country of origin — helps us improve our website. We have disabled all advertising features, user IDs and tracking.
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the website may not work as well if you do.
You can sign up for our newsletter through a secure email service based in the European Union.
When you sign up, you give us permission to send you emails. We use your name and email address only for this purpose.
We track whether emails are opened or if links are clicked. This helps us improve our content and understand what readers find interesting. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of each email. After you unsubscribe, we delete your information. We do not share this data with anyone else.
leuK.world is for everyone — including young people who want to learn, explore, and take part. We believe it’s important that everyone feels safe here.
