Generally, we do not sell or share your personal information with third parties. There are some exceptions to this:
- Where we are required to by law (e.g., anti-money laundering obligations).
- With third parties we use to facilitate a service (e.g. Raisley when you make a donation, ActionNetwork when you subscribe to a campaign or our mailing list, Google which we use to store our documents).
- If you have signed a petition or open letter, we will share your personal information with the relevant government or institution that the petition is intended for. This may result in your personal information becoming public.
- Where you consent to us sharing your personal information.
How do we protect your personal information?
We take several steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. These steps include:
- Limiting the amount of personal information we collect about you to the minimum that we need.
- Storing your personal information in locations that require a login to access, and regularly reviewing who has access to those locations.
- Setting up HTTPS as default across our website.
