Who we are
BH Futures Foundation is a nonprofit supporting young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina through scholarships, mentorship, and events. We are the controller of the personal information described below. If you want to reach us about anything on this page, write to the contact address on our Contact page.
What we collect, and when
Newsletter: if you subscribe, we store your email address, the date you agreed to hear from us, and where on the site you signed up. Contact and application forms: we store the name, email address, and the content of what you send us — for applications, that includes your current education and what you write about your motivation. Donations: donations are processed by PayPal. We never see or store your card or bank details. PayPal tells us the amount, the currency, your name and email address, and a transaction reference, and we keep that record for accounting and to send you a receipt. We do not use advertising trackers, and we do not sell or rent your information to anyone.
Why we are allowed to hold it
For the newsletter, we rely on your consent — you tick a box, and you can withdraw it at any time. For contact and application forms, we rely on our legitimate interest in answering you and running our programmes. For donations, we rely on the need to perform the transaction and on our legal obligation to keep accurate financial records.
Who else handles it
We use a small number of service providers who process data on our behalf: Vercel (website hosting), Supabase (database), Resend (sending email), and PayPal (payments). Each of them only receives what they need to do their part. We do not share your information with anyone else unless the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. Contact messages are kept for two years. Applications are kept for the duration of the selection process and for three years afterwards, so we can contact you about future rounds. Donation records are kept for as long as accounting and tax rules require.
What you can ask us to do
You can ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link in any email we send, or by writing to us. If you believe we have handled your information badly and we have not put it right, you can complain to your local data protection authority.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle personal information, we will update this page and change the date shown at the top. Significant changes affecting people already on our list will be announced by email.
