Mahaldheeb Scoutun is dedicated to documenting and preserving the history of Scouting in the Maldives. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information shared with us through this website. By accessing our site, you agree to the practices described below.

​

We collect two types of information: content you voluntarily share with us and technical information automatically gathered when you browse the site. Voluntary information includes photographs, stories, documents, and any historical materials submitted through contact forms or email, as well as permissions related to publishing these contributions. Automatically collected data includes browser and device information, general location details, pages visited, time spent on the website, and performance analytics. We also use cookies to support website functionality and improve user experience, and you may disable them at any time through your browser settings.

​

Information collected is used solely to support the project’s mission—sharing and preserving scouting history. This includes displaying submitted materials on the website, responding to inquiries, maintaining the accuracy of our archive, and ensuring the website runs smoothly. We do not sell or rent personal information, nor do we use it for advertising purposes.

​

By submitting photos, stories, or historical records to Mahaldheeb Scoutun, you confirm that you either own the material or have permission to share it. You also grant us permission to publish this content on the website and associated platforms. You retain the right to request updates, corrections, or removal of your content at any time, and we will process these requests promptly and respectfully.

​

Some historical materials published on this website date back several decades and may include individuals whose identities are not fully documented. Many photographs were taken during public events or scouting activities. If you identify content that requires correction, credit, or removal, please contact us and we will take necessary action.

​

We share information only when essential for website operation, such as with trusted service providers responsible for hosting and analytics. We may also share information when legally required. Beyond these cases, no personal data is distributed to third parties.

​

We take reasonable steps to protect the information stored on our website, though no digital platform can guarantee complete security. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If any content involving a minor appears without appropriate permission, please notify us for immediate review or removal.

​

This website may contain links to external pages or social platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external websites.

​

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect improvements to the website or changes in data protection practices. Any updates will be indicated by the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
