Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 31, 2026
This policy explains what information the Association of Young Legal Historians collects when you use aylh.org, how it is used, and what choices you have.
Who we are
This Privacy Policy applies to aylh.org, operated by the Association of Young Legal Historians (AYLH), a non-profit scholarly association. References to “we”, “us”, or “our” mean AYLH.
Questions or requests regarding this policy should be directed to info@aylh.org or via our contact page.
Data we collect
Information you provide directly
- Contact form submissions — name, email address, and the message you send. Used only to respond to your enquiry.
- Newsletter subscriptions — email address and subscription confirmation token. Used solely to send AYLH news and announcements.
- Feedback survey responses — an optional anonymous survey (star rating, tags, NPS score, role). No personally identifying information is required or inferred.
- Forum applications / membership enquiries — name, affiliation, research interests. Used for membership and event administration.
Usage data (analytics)
When you browse aylh.org we may collect standard usage data — pages visited, referrer, browser type, approximate geographic location (country/city), and session duration — via the third-party analytics services described in Section 3. This data is aggregated and anonymised; it is never linked to your identity.
Analytics data collection is optional. You can decline or withdraw consent at any time via the Cookie Settings panel in the site footer.
Cookies and local storage
We use a small number of cookies and browser localStorage entries. A full list is in Section 4.
Third-party services
The following services process data on our behalf. Each operates under its own privacy policy and, where applicable, is covered by Standard Contractual Clauses.
Cookies and local storage
Essential — always active
Analytics — optional, requires consent
How we use personal data
- To respond to contact form enquiries
- To send newsletter emails you have subscribed to
- To administer forum participation and membership
- To improve the website through anonymous analytics (with your consent)
- To meet any applicable legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we do not use it for marketing unrelated to AYLH activities.
Retention
Contact enquiries are retained for up to two years and then deleted. Newsletter subscriber records are kept until you unsubscribe. Anonymous analytics data follows each provider's own retention window (GA4 default: 14 months).
Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction you may have the right to access, correct, or erase personal data we hold about you, or to object to or restrict its processing. To exercise any of these rights please contact info@aylh.org. We will respond within 30 days.
Data transfers
Data may be processed outside your country of residence (for example on Vercel or Supabase infrastructure in the EU and US). Where such transfers occur, they are covered by appropriate safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent).
Children
Our service is not directed at anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has submitted data to us, please contact us so we can delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
