The Pygmy Hippo Foundation (“PHF”) and its associated companies (collectively referred to as “PHF”, “we”, “our” and “us”) respect your personal information and this Privacy Policy explains in general terms how PHF protects the privacy of your personal information. The principles set out in this Privacy Policy apply to any personal information you provide to us via this website or under any agreement or arrangement and to personal information which we collect about you from other sources.
For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” is information about, and which identifies, individuals whether that information is obtained from the relevant individual or from a third party.
By explaining our Privacy Policy to you, we hope that you will better understand how we keep personal information confidential and secure while using it to comply with our statutory obligations and provision of information about us to shareholders and other interested parties.
Disclosing your personal information
We may use your personal data in any way that we consider in necessary to carry out our responsibilities to you or to maintain and preserve our records. This may include releasing the data to third parties or transferring the data outside the European Economic Area.
We may also use your personal information to send to you selected information that we produce relating to the Company and/or its business. If you prefer not to receive this type of material, please let us know.
If you provide personal information to us about someone else (such as one of your directors, employees or agent) you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that information to us and that, without us taking any further steps required by privacy laws, we may collect, use and disclose that information for the purpose for which it was provided to us.

On payment of a small fee, you have the right to gain access to the personal information which we hold about you. In certain circumstances you may also require us to alter or remove any personal information we may hold about you. Please address requests to:
