Welcome to The IK Foundation’s LEGAL ISSUES page. Visitors to this website and its connected domains can find an overview of the standards we follow and the terms that apply to their use of our digital services.
This is an interim legal update while IK v.4 work continues. It replaces the old third-party policy links with IK's May 26, 2026 legal PDF.
This is not a full replacement cookie compliance system and does not manage analytics consent or record visitor consent decisions.
At The IK Foundation, our mission to promote Natural & Cultural History is guided by the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the visionary Law of the Rights of Mother Earth, which advocates the legal recognition of nature’s rights.
Rooted in Europe, we also embrace the values championed by organisations such as The European Movement International.
We believe that “small streams make big rivers” - especially when it comes to protecting our environment. That’s why we carefully consider every action, from energy use in our facilities and data hubs to sustainable travel, responsible purchasing, and waste management. For us, long-term environmental and social responsibility isn’t just a goal; it’s a way of life.
We hope you share our vision and join us in making a difference, one mindful choice at a time.
