Privacy & Cookie Policy for The Defence Foundation

Last updated: September 1, 2025

Introduction

The Defence Foundation (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines how we handle information when you visit our website, https://www.defence.nu. Our website is designed to be a purely informational resource, with no user login capabilities or contact forms.

For any privacy-specific concerns, please contact us at chairman@defence.nu.

Information We Handle

As a strictly informational website, we have minimized data collection. The following describes the data that is automatically processed for the site to function:

  • Server Logs: Like most websites, our web hosting server may collect basic, anonymous information such as your IP address, browser type, and the time of your visit. This data is used for security and statistical purposes to ensure the integrity of our service.

  • Third-Party Services (Google Fonts): To ensure a consistent and high-quality visual presentation, this website uses Google Fonts. When you load a page on our site, your browser makes a direct request to Google’s servers to fetch these font files. In this process, your IP address is sent to Google, which may be stored on servers located outside of the European Union. This data transfer is necessary for the legitimate interest of displaying the website’s typography correctly.

Our Use of Cookies

This website is designed to be as privacy-friendly as possible. We limit our use of cookies to those that are essential for the site’s basic operation and security. These functional cookies do not collect personal data and are not used for tracking.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have rights over your personal data. While our data collection is minimal, you retain rights including the right to be informed about data processing and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Third-Party Links

Our website contains icons and links to our social media profiles. Please note that when you click on these links, you will be redirected to that third-party platform, which is governed by its own privacy policy.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of this policy.
