Privacy PolicyHow ACF handles your personal information

Selected attachment previews are created locally in your browser. Moving to the review step does not upload those files; organization details and attachments are sent when you choose final submission.

The contact form opens your own email app. The website does not send or save that inquiry through the form; your email service handles a message if you choose to send it.

Email info@aqca.org with your application reference and a description of the information you want to access or correct. ACF may need to confirm your authority before releasing an organization’s private record. Do not include passwords or resend sensitive attachments merely to identify a request.

No fixed retention schedule is published here. Ask ACF which records and independent Google copies a request covers. Records may need to be retained to meet legal obligations, and a deletion request should not be treated as confirmation that every copy has already been removed.

Information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email, organization, and message. If you submit a grant application, this also includes your organization's details and the documents you upload.

Application information is used to respond to inquiries, review grant applications, and communicate about ACF's work. We do not sell application information. For independent record preservation, completed application details are copied to ACF's private Google Sheets register and uploaded documents are copied to ACF's private Google Drive folder. This record storage is separate from optional website measurement; applicant details and documents are not sent to Google Analytics or Google Ads.

Documents uploaded with a grant application are stored privately and are accessible only to ACF's authorized reviewers. They are not published and are not visible to other applicants or to the public.

We keep information only as long as needed for the purpose it was provided for, or as required by applicable record-keeping obligations.

Google receives public-page browsing activity, device/browser information, cookie identifiers, and network information such as your IP address for visit analytics and advertising effectiveness measurement. Google Ads may associate visits with ad interactions. This installation does not send application details, uploaded documents, email addresses, or customer matching identifiers and does not enable personalized advertising. Where advertising measurement is allowed, a completed application with both required documents may generate a conversion containing only its opaque application reference. Page visits, document selection, and the review step do not report that conversion.

In the EEA, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and unresolved regions, optional tracking stays blocked until you accept its purpose. Elsewhere, measurement is enabled unless you refuse or your browser sends a supported privacy opt-out. Analytics and advertising choices are separate. Staff sign-in and private administration pages are excluded from page measurement.

Open Cookie settings in the footer to accept, reject, or withdraw optional tracking at any time. Rejection is as easy as acceptance. Changes apply to this browser and its other open tabs, and blocked activity is not replayed. Browser privacy signals such as Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track are honored.

On this browser, we keep a random visitor reference and a history of choices with timestamps, region, and notice version 2026-10-24-v1. That version corresponds to the notice and separate Analytics and Advertising measurement choices shown in Cookie settings. Withdrawal adds a refusal without deleting earlier acceptance evidence. Clearing browser storage removes this local record; choices do not automatically follow you to other devices.

You may request access to or deletion of your application information by emailing info@aqca.org.
