Welcome to sanctuarydomain.org (the “Site”). Sanctuary Domain (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and wants you to understand what happens with your information in clear, straightforward terms.
By using this Site, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Who we are

If you have questions about this policy, you can contact us at the email address above.
2. What information do we collect
We collect two main types of information:
2.1 Information you choose to give us
You may choose to provide information directly, such as when you:
- Use a contact form or email us
- Subscribe to updates (if offered)
- Submit responses to our Open Palm Project or other projects
This may include your name, email address, and any details you include in your message or submission.
2.2 Information collected automatically
When you visit sanctuarydomain.org, certain information may be collected automatically, such as:

- Referring website or link
- Date and time of your visit
This information is typically collected through cookies and similar technologies.
3. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate and improve the Site – ensure pages load, fix errors, and understand how people use the Site
- Respond to you – answer questions or requests you send us
- Communicate with you – if you subscribe to emails or updates, send you what you signed up for
- Support projects like the Open Palm Project – receive, review, and potentially publish anonymized submissions
- Maintain security – protect the Site from spam, abuse, and attacks
- Comply with legal obligations – meet our responsibilities under applicable laws
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Legal bases (for EU/UK visitors)
If you visit from the European Economic Area or the UK, we rely on:
- Consent – when you agree to optional cookies, email subscriptions, or provide information in a form
- Legitimate interests – to run, secure, and improve the Site in ways that do not override your rights
- Legal obligations – when we must keep or use data to comply with the law
5. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. On sanctuarydomain.org, they may be used to:
- Remember basic settings and preferences
- Understand how visitors use the Site (for example, through analytics)
- Improve performance and security
You can usually manage or delete cookies using your browser settings. If we use a cookie banner or preferences tool, you can control certain types of cookies directly.
6. Analytics and third-party services
We may use third-party services (such as analytics or security providers) to help us understand usage and keep the Site functioning.
These services may collect information like:
- Pages visited and time spent on them
- General location and device/browser information
- Referring sites or links
These providers process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for any unrelated purpose. You can often limit tracking in your browser settings or through the tools offered by those providers.
7. How we share information
We may share information in limited ways:
- Service providers – with trusted partners that help us host, maintain, or secure the Site, or send communications, under agreements that restrict their use of your data
- Legal reasons – if required by law, regulation, court order, or to protect our rights or the safety of others
- Business changes – if we reorganize, merge, or transfer the Site, information may be part of that transfer
We do not sell your personal information.
8. Open Palm Project and other submissions
If you submit responses to the Open Palm Project or similar features:
- You are voluntarily sharing that information with us.
- We may use your submission to create anonymized content that we publish on the Site or related projects.
- We may edit submissions lightly for clarity, length, or readability while preserving their core meaning.
When we publish submissions, we aim to remove obvious identifiers (like names or contact details), but we cannot guarantee that someone who knows you could never recognize your story.
9. Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Operate and improve the Site
- Maintain records of communications and submissions
- Comply with legal, tax, and reporting obligations
- Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements
When data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymize it.
10. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:
- Access – request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Correction – ask us to fix inaccurate or incomplete information
- Deletion – Request deletion of your data in certain circumstances
- Restriction – ask us to limit how we use your data in specific situations
- Objection – object to certain uses, including some forms of profiling or direct communication
- Portability – request your data in a structured, commonly used format
To exercise these rights, contact us at [your contact email]. We may need to verify your identity.
11. International transfers
Our Site may be hosted or processed on servers located outside your country. By using sanctuarydomain.org, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in other jurisdictions.
Where required, we take appropriate steps to help ensure such transfers comply with applicable laws and that your information remains reasonably protected.
12. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure. You use the Site and share information at your own risk.
13. Children’s privacy
sanctuarydomain.org is intended for adults only and is not directed to children under 18.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice on the Site.
