Privacy policy

Last updated [date]

Who we are

XtraMiles is run by Isengaard, [legal form, registration number], [registered address]. Isengaard is responsible for the personal data described here. For any privacy question, write to info@xtramiles.org.

What we collect

  • When you ask for help: your first name, email, phone number if you give it, country, region and city, and what you tell us about your situation. This can include information about your health, family or finances.
  • When you contact us: your name, email and message.
  • When you use the member or board portal: your account details and the cases, updates and reports you post there.

This website does not use advertising, tracking cookies or analytics. Fonts and images are served from our own site.

Why we use it

We use your information only to review your request, decide whether and how we can help, organise volunteers, and reply to you. Where you tell us about your health or other sensitive matters, we use it only with your explicit consent, which you give when you send the form. You can withdraw that consent at any time by writing to us.

Who can see it

Help requests are visible only to the Global Board and the continental coordinators for your continent. If your case is accepted, the volunteers who join it can see what they need to help you. Nothing about you is published on this website unless you agreed to it on the form, and even then we show only your first name and city, never your address, email or phone number.

We store data with our technology providers, Supabase (database) and Cloudflare (website hosting), who process it on our behalf. [Hosting region, and safeguards for any transfer outside the EU/EEA.]

How long we keep it

[Retention periods, for example: help requests that don't become cases are deleted after X months; case information is kept for X years after a case is completed; contact messages are deleted after X months.]

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your information, ask us to limit how we use it, or object to its use. Write to info@xtramiles.org. If you're not happy with our answer, you can complain to your data protection authority, [for example Datatilsynet in Denmark].

Terms of use

Using this website

You're welcome to read, share and link to anything on this site. Please don't misuse the forms, submit false information, or try to access parts of the site or portal that aren't meant for you.

Asking for help

Only ask for help for yourself through this website. To submit a case for someone else, use the member portal, and make sure they agree. Sending a request doesn't guarantee that we can help, and continental coordinators decide which cases XtraMiles takes on.

Volunteering

All roles at XtraMiles are voluntary and unpaid. Volunteers act in their own name, follow local laws, and should never put themselves or others at risk. [Liability wording to be confirmed by a lawyer.]

Safeguarding

Last updated [date]

Our commitment

Many of the people we help are in vulnerable situations, including children and older people. Everyone who takes part in XtraMiles must treat them with respect and keep them safe.

Ground rules

  • Never be alone with a child who is not your own during case work.
  • Never ask for or accept money or favours from the people we help.
  • Never share photos or personal details of the people we help without their permission.
  • [Further rules, and any checks required for case leaders and coordinators.]

Reporting a concern

If you're worried about the safety of anyone involved in an XtraMiles case, tell us straight away at info@xtramiles.org. We treat every report confidentially. If someone is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number first.
