A person may request to stop receiving communications by writing to info@exodusandresilience.org.

5. Forms and external providers

Some forms on this website may be managed through external providers, including form, email, hosting, security, analytics or automation services. These providers should process only the information necessary to provide the corresponding service.

Submitting a form means that the information provided may be processed by the relevant technical provider and by the program team to respond to the request.

6. Sharing of information

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited information only when necessary to operate the program, comply with legal obligations, process communications, administer activities, manage donations or work with technical and professional service providers.
