Privacy Policy
Effective: February 2026
Overview
This site — futuro.ngo — is the official website of Futuro, the living organization of social impact project authors across the Americas. This is a static content site that publishes information about the alumni community, impact projects, institutional journal articles, and community resources. This policy describes what information is collected when you visit and how it is handled.
The short version: this site collects minimal data, does not require user accounts, does not sell personal information, and respects your privacy.
Information Collected
Hosting and Server Logs
This site is hosted on a hosting provider. When you visit, the hosting provider may automatically collect standard server log information including your IP address, browser type, referring page, and the pages you visit. This data is used for security monitoring and site performance. The hosting provider's privacy policy governs how they process this data.
No User Accounts
This site does not require registration, login, or the creation of user accounts. No passwords, email addresses, or personal profiles are collected through this site.
No Cookies
This site does not set first-party cookies. Third-party embeds may set their own cookies according to their respective privacy policies.
No Analytics Tracking
This site does not currently use client-side analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Plausible, or similar services. If analytics are added in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly, and any analytics tool selected will prioritize privacy-respecting, cookieless options.
Third-Party Services
This site links to or embeds content from the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy:
- Google Fonts — web fonts served from Google's servers. Google may collect font request data.
- LinkedIn — institutional profile link. LinkedIn's privacy policy applies to any interaction on their platform.
- Instagram — social media link. Instagram/Meta's privacy policy applies to any interaction on their platform.
- X (formerly Twitter) — social media link. X's privacy policy applies.
Futuro does not control and is not responsible for the data practices of these third-party services.
Email Communication
If you reach out via email to any of the addresses published on this site (such as info@futuro.ngo), the information you provide (name, email address, message content) will be used solely to respond to your inquiry. This information is not added to marketing lists, sold, or shared with third parties.
Donations and Financial Support
If Futuro implements online donation functionality in the future, any payment processing will be handled by certified third-party payment processors (such as Stripe or PayPal). Futuro will not directly store credit card information or financial data on its servers. This policy will be updated before any such functionality is activated to detail the specific processor and their data protection practices.
International Visitors
This site is accessible to visitors worldwide. Regardless of your location, the minimal data practices described in this policy apply equally.
For visitors in the European Economic Area, this site's minimal data collection does not require consent mechanisms under the GDPR, as no personal data is actively collected or processed beyond standard server logs necessary for site operation (legitimate interest basis).
For visitors in California, this site does not sell personal information and does not engage in practices requiring disclosure under the CCPA.
For visitors in Mexico, this site complies with the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP). The minimal data collection described in this policy does not constitute processing of personal data requiring an additional privacy notice under said law.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13. No information is knowingly collected from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
Data Retention
Server logs maintained by the hosting provider are retained according to their standard retention schedule. No other personal data is stored by this site.
Institutional Context
Futuro is the alumni organization and project community born from BeNeXT Global's convenings. This privacy policy applies exclusively to futuro.ngo. Affiliated organizations — including BeNeXT Global (benextglobal.com), NeXT (next.ngo), Medikah (medikah.health), and hectorhlopez.com — operate under their own privacy policies. Your use of any other organizational site is governed by that site's respective privacy policy.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in data practices or legal requirements. Material changes will be noted by updating the effective date above. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the current policy.
