Cookies & Privacy Policy

This privacy policy sets out how Campaign for Common Sense 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 the campaign 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 the campaign 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 the Campaign for Common Sense website 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.

How will we use your data?

The information you provide may be used to:

  • keep you up to date with the campaign;
  • 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.

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

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

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 campaign staff or volunteers working on behalf of the campaign 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.
