What this site collects, who receives messages, and how to ask for something to be removed.

What this site collects

  • The site has no tracking, advertising or analytics scripts, no social media embeds and no cookies of its own.
  • It loads no fonts or scripts from other companies.
  • When you send the contact form, your message is passed on by email and is not stored on the site. The spam check on the form is run by Cloudflare, which hosts the site [to confirm with RLP].
  • Like any web host, Cloudflare processes basic technical information, such as IP addresses, to deliver pages and block attacks.

Who receives messages

Messages go to Refugee Law Project in Kampala, Uganda [to confirm with RLP: role and address]. Refugee Law Project decides how long it keeps them [to confirm with RLP: retention period]. Messages are not shared with anyone named in them without the sender's agreement.

Leaving this site quickly, and its limits

The small Quick exit link at the top corner of every page, and in the footer, replaces this page with a weather website, and the Back button will not bring this page back. It does not clear your browser history, and it does not hide that you visited this site from anyone who checks the history, a shared account, or the network you are using. If you are worried someone may check your device, consider using a private or incognito window, which does not keep history after you close it, or a device the other person cannot use, and clear your history afterwards if it is safe to do so.

This site does not show photographs of people. Photographs from past Institutes and profile photos will only be added when the person shown has given consent for this site.

Some library items are films in which survivors speak about their experience. Refugee Law Project is confirming that consent for each one is on record [to confirm with RLP].

Asking for something to be removed

If you appear in a film, photograph or community entry, or are named on this site, and want it changed or removed, contact us and say which page. You do not need to give a reason. Refugee Law Project aims to act on removal requests quickly [to confirm with RLP: time frame].
