Privacy Policy

The Chimaera Fund is a fund of Renaissance Philanthropy Fund (“Renaissance Philanthropy,” “we,” “us”). This website, chimaerafund.org, is operated by Renaissance Philanthropy, and we handle personal information in accordance with the Renaissance Philanthropy Privacy Policy, which applies to this website and to the Chimaera Fund’s programs. That policy describes your rights, the legal bases we rely on, international data transfers, and how we protect your information. This page adds detail about what this website collects and how we use it.

What we collect and why

We collect only what you choose to give us through the forms on this website, plus basic technical information when you browse (such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit).

• Contact form. Your name, email address, organization, role, and message, so we can respond to you.
• Request for Information (RFI) responses. Your name, title, organization, organization type, country, email address, area of expertise, the partner roles you select, and your answers. We use responses to design our programs and any future Request for Proposals, and we may contact you to ask a clarifying question or arrange a follow-up conversation. Responses are used without attribution. We email you a copy of your answers when you submit.
• Teaming and Partnership Exchange listings. Your organization, organization type, headquarters country, contact name, title, the roles you select, your presence in focus countries, what you bring and what you are looking for, and your email address. Once we approve a listing, it is published on the exchange page and visible to anyone, including your email address unless you choose to keep it private. You can ask us to update or remove your listing at any time.
• Introduction requests. Your name, organization, email address, and message. We share these with the organization you asked to be introduced to, so they can reply to you. We do not reveal a listed organization’s private email address through the website.
• Webinar registrations. Your name, email address, organization, organization type, the sessions you want to attend, and what you hope to get out of the webinar. We use these to review your registration and send you the webinar link.
• Mailing list. If you tick the box to receive email updates about a program, we add your name, email address, and organization to our mailing list for that program only. We keep a record of your consent: the wording you agreed to, the form you used, and when.

Email updates and unsubscribing

We send program email updates only to people who opted in. Every update email includes a link to unsubscribe, and you can also ask us to remove you at any time by writing to privacy@renphil.org. Emails we send in direct response to something you submitted, such as the copy of your RFI answers, are not marketing emails and do not add you to any mailing list.

Service providers

We do not sell your personal information. We use trusted service providers to run this website and its forms, and they process information only on our behalf:

• Vercel hosts the website and provides privacy-friendly website analytics.
• Airtable stores form submissions for our team.
• Resend sends confirmation emails.
• Mailchimp manages our mailing lists and sends program updates.

Some of these providers are based in the United States. See the Renaissance Philanthropy Privacy Policy for how we protect information transferred internationally.

Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, to keep the website working, remember your preferences, and understand how the website is used. For example, the RFI response form saves your draft in your browser so you do not lose your work; that draft stays on your device and is deleted when you submit. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although some features may not work if you disable them.

How long we keep information

We keep form submissions for as long as we need them for the program they relate to and to meet our legal and record-keeping obligations. We keep you on a mailing list until you unsubscribe or ask to be removed.

Your choices and rights

You can ask to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or object to how we use it, by writing to privacy@renphil.org. If you ask us to delete your information, we will remove you from our mailing lists; we handle records connected to program submissions as described in the Renaissance Philanthropy Privacy Policy. Your full rights are described there.
