This privacy policy sets out how Global Britain collects and uses any information you may give us when you visit this website, as well as how we may disclose that information, and how you can control the collection, correction and/or deletion of that information.

Your privacy is our priority and we go to great lengths to protect it. Any information we collect about you will always be handled securely and in compliance with the UK Data Protection Act (1998) and all other relevant legislation.

What information do we collect?

We may collect, store and use two kinds of data: personal and log information.

Personal data is any information you provide that enables you to partake in our research and campaign work and includes your name, address, email address and post code. This also includes information about any donations you might make or advocacy actions you may take part in.

This includes where you might “follow”, “like” or otherwise link your social media accounts to our work via a third-party website. Any correspondence you send electronically may be retained, such as the content of your email messages, your email address and our response. We may also retain any information you upload or post on Global Britain social media (websites, Facebook and Twitter) such as profile pictures and comments.

Your personal log information relates to information about your visit to, and any actions on, this website. This includes your IP address, referrer, length of visit and number of page views. This information is required for the website to work correctly and allows us to improve the performance and functionality of the site.

We only collect the information that we need to fulfil the purposes set out at collection. You can update this information at any time.

We embed a Facebook widget to allow you to see number of likes/shares/recommends and “like/share/recommend” our webpages. This widget may collect your IP address, your web browser User Agent, store and retrieve cookies on your browser, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interaction with the widget, including correlating your Facebook account with whatever action you take within the widget (such as “liking/sharing/recommending” our webpage), if you are logged in to Facebook. For more information about how this data may be used, please see Facebook’s data privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update

We use a Twitter Tweet widget at our website. As a result, our website makes requests to Twitter’s servers for you to be able to tweet our webpages using your Twitter account. These requests make your IP address visible to Twitter, who may use it in accordance with their data privacy policy: https://twitter.com/en/privacy#update

We use a Linkedin Share widget at our website to allow you to share our webpages on Linkedin. These requests may track your IP address in accordance with their data privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

How will we use your data?

The information you provide may be used to:

  • keep you up to date with our work;
  • offer you opportunities to engage with our activities;
  • respond to your queries;
  • process your application to volunteer;
  • administer supporter records;
  • conduct fundraising activities; and,
  • operate, maintain, and provide to you the features and functionality of this website.

You may opt out from receiving such information at any time.

Your personal data may be shared within Global Britain (i.e. between staff), and with organisations and partners we have a strategic relationship with as part of the work, or that perform work for Global Britain to provide services on your behalf. This is normal practice for political campaigns in the UK. In every instance these organisations and partners will only be supplied with the minimum amount of personal data they need to fulfil the services we request. They are obligated to protect your data in accordance with our policies. As part of that sharing we require our partners to never publish your personal details without your consent, and we do not pass your personal details to political parties (our partners may include people that otherwise work in known political parties but their parties do not get access to your data).

We may be required to disclose information by law or court order.

For clarity, personal data will never be rented or sold to others.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They allow us to make the website easier to use, to provide you with a more personalised experience, to guard against malicious activities and to ensure any login feature functions correctly. They do not collect personal information about you.

You can remove or block cookies by changing the settings in your browser, but the functionality of the website may be adversely affected. By using our website, you are consenting to our use of cookies in accordance with this notice. If you do not agree to our use of cookies then we advise you to set your browser settings accordingly.

Security

We have in place measures to protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under our control. All collected data is stored in locked, secure environments, and any staff or volunteers working on behalf of Global Britain will only ever have access to the information they need.

Data Transfers

It may sometimes be necessary to transfer personal information outside of the EEA. This may include transfers to US based servers. Any transfer will be made only to servers where we are satisfied that they are sufficiently secure and our policy can be complied with.

Other websites

Our sites may from time to time contain links to other websites not under our control. As such, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information you may provide while visiting other sites, nor are said sites governed by this privacy policy. If you have any concerns please refer to the privacy policy of the site in question.

Controlling your data

If the information we hold about you needs to be corrected or updated, you would like to be unsubscribed from receiving our materials, or have any other questions or concerns about our use of your personal data, please contact us at [email protected].

Further to the disclosures identified elsewhere in this policy, we will only disclose personal information to third parties if required by law to do so.
