Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

"Abraham of London" refers to a family of platforms and ventures led by Abraham Adaramola, including (but not limited to) public writing, events, advisory work, and community initiatives.

For data protection purposes, the primary contact for this site is:

• Abraham of London (United Kingdom)
• Email: info@abrahamoflondon.org

2. What this policy covers

This policy applies to:

• This website and its content.
• Email communications, including newsletters and campaign updates (via services such as Mailchimp) and transactional emails (via Resend or similar providers).
• Contact form submissions, teaser requests, and event or call enquiries processed through this site.
• Inner Circle registration and access systems, including membership management and cryptographic key issuance.

It does not replace written terms for specific paid engagements or advisory relationships. Where a formal contract is in place, its privacy and confidentiality terms will take precedence for that work.

3. Information we collect

We collect information in three main ways:

• Information you provide directly, for example:
  • Newsletter sign-ups (name, email, high-level preferences).
  • Contact form submissions (name, email, subject, and what you choose to write).
  • Event or consultation enquiries (basic personal and organisational details you share).
  • Inner Circle registration (email and name for access key issuance and community management).
• Usage and analytics data – high-level information about how you interact with the site (pages visited, approximate timings, referrer) via privacy-aware analytics tools or server logs.
• Transactional / system data – for example, confirmation emails, subscription status, and basic newsletter engagement metrics such as opens and clicks.

We do not deliberately collect sensitive categories of personal data (such as health information) through this site. If you choose to send such information anyway, we will handle it as carefully as we reasonably can, but you should avoid including highly sensitive details in ordinary contact forms.

4. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Send newsletters and editorial content you have requested.
• Respond to enquiries and manage event or call requests.
• Manage Inner Circle access – issue cryptographic access keys, verify membership status, and provide exclusive content to registered members.
• Improve the structure, clarity, and usefulness of the site based on aggregated, non-identifying behaviour patterns.
• Maintain appropriate records for governance, risk management, and compliance where this is sensible and proportionate.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own independent marketing.

5. Legal bases for processing

Where UK GDPR or similar data protection laws apply, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Consent – for example, where you subscribe to a newsletter or explicitly request a teaser or resource by email.
• Legitimate interests – maintaining site security, improving content, keeping basic communication records, or following up on serious matters, where this does not override your rights and expectations.
• Contractual necessity – where processing is required to enter into or perform a contract or agreed engagement with you.
• Inner Circle operations – processing necessary for providing exclusive content and community access to registered members.

6. Cookies & tracking technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to support basic site functionality, security, and analytics. These are kept to what is necessary and proportionate for the level of service being offered.

For a more detailed view of the types of cookies in use, and your options, please see our Cookie Policy.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings and, where implemented, via on-site controls.

7. Email delivery and list management

We use specialist third-party services to handle email delivery and list management, including (for example):

• Mailchimp – for newsletters and curated email dispatches.
• Resend – for transactional or system emails (such as confirmations, teaser delivery, or internal notifications from forms).
• Inner Circle access emails – cryptographic key delivery and exclusive content notifications via secure email providers.

These providers process your email address and basic engagement data (such as opens and clicks) so we can deliver messages, manage opt-outs, and understand what is useful.

You can unsubscribe from newsletters at any time using the link in each email. Transactional or service messages may continue where reasonably necessary (for example, to confirm a request you initiated).

8. When we share information

We may share limited personal information with trusted service providers who support this site and related work, such as:

• Hosting and infrastructure providers.
• Email and newsletter delivery platforms.
• Security tools and analytics services.

Where sharing occurs, it is done on a need-to-know basis and, where required by law, under appropriate contractual terms and safeguards.

9. How long we keep your information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law, regulation, or sensible governance practice.

In broad terms:

• Newsletter data is retained while you remain subscribed and for a limited period afterwards for audit, suppression, and record-keeping.
• Contact form submissions and related correspondence may be kept as part of communication records and risk management, particularly where serious or complex matters have been raised.
• Inner Circle membership data is retained for the duration of your active membership plus a reasonable period for audit and compliance purposes. Cryptographic keys and access records are subject to automatic data retention policies.

10. Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights such as:

• Access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure of certain data, subject to legal and governance obligations.
• Restriction of processing in specific circumstances, or objection to particular uses.
• Portability of certain data you have provided, where technically feasible and legally required.
• Withdrawal of consent for processing based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@abrahamoflondon.org. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

11. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, using a combination of technical and organizational measures. No system is perfectly secure, but security is treated as a core design concern, not an afterthought.

For more detail on our stance and controls, see the Security Policy, which sets out our approach to bot protection, rate limiting, logging, and infrastructure security.

12. Children

This site is primarily aimed at adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate parental or guardian involvement. If you believe a child has provided personal information without consent, please contact us so we can review and act where appropriate.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law, practice, or the services we offer. The "Last updated" date above shows the most recent revision.

Where changes are significant, we may highlight them on the site or, if appropriate, via email.

14. Contact and concerns

If you have questions or concerns about this policy or how your data is handled, you can contact:
