processed in connection with yourpartycambridge activities, including for example this website,

How We Protect and Use Your Personal Information

Introduction

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, share, and retain your data, as well as the rights you have in relation to your personal information. We encourage you to read this document carefully so that you understand how your data is managed as part of our campaigning activities and services.

Who We Share Your Data With

We believe in transparency regarding the sharing of your data. We will only share your personal information with your direct pemission. As an example in the way that people have signed the letter that started yourpartycambridge.

1. Supporter Registration and Data Sharing with Public Organisations

If you choose to register your support for yourpartycambridge, certain personal information—namely your name, postcode, and email address—will only be used for sending communications to you.
Other information you supplied such as your union or your skills may be used within the organisation as we develop our ability to create yourpartycambridge

3. No Further Disclosure Without Legal Requirement

We will not disclose any information about you, other than in the circumstances outlined above. The only exception to this is where disclosure is required by law—such as in response to a court order, warrant, or legal investigation. In such cases, we will comply with legal obligations while seeking to protect your privacy as far as possible.

How We Use Your Data

We use your data strictly for the purposes for which it was provided, as a means to be in touch with you and use your skills.

1. Communication Regarding Campaign Progress

If you have consented during sign-up as a supporter, we may use your email address to send you periodic updates about the progress of our campaign. These updates may include information about events, developments, decisions made or opportunities for further engagement.

Should you wish to stop receiving these communications at any time, tell us and we will respect your preferences and will promptly remove you from our mailing list.

2. Telephone, Text, and WhatsApp Communication

Occasionally, we may contact you by telephone, including through text messages or WhatsApp, to discuss our campaigning work and to offer you an opportunity to provide feedback or participate further. If you prefer not to receive such communications, simply inform us, and we will respect your preference and update your communication preferences accordingly.

3. Secure Storage of Your Data

Your personal data is currently only held by our email provider, brevo.com.
When yourpartycambridge is more established, a few more people may have access to this data, but before that happens this change will be recorded here.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security and integrity of your information, protecting it against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

How Long We Retain Your Data

We will securely retain your data as long as yourpartycambridge exists. It is likely that the name may change, and this data will follow any new name. All the arrangements in this statement will continue to operate.

Your Rights Over Your Data

We respect your rights regarding your personal information and are committed to supporting you in exercising these rights.

1. Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. We will respond to such requests promptly and provide you with a copy of your data, subject to any legal limitations.

2. Right to Rectification

We want to ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. If you believe that any information we hold is incorrect or incomplete, please contact us so that we can make the necessary corrections.

3. Right to Erasure

You may request that we delete your personal information where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or if you withdraw your consent (where applicable). We will comply with your request unless we are required to retain your data for legal or regulatory reasons.

4. Right to Restrict Processing

You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as if you contest its accuracy or object to our use of it. We will review your request and, if appropriate, restrict processing until the matter is resolved.

5. Right to Object

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for certain purposes, such as marketing communications. As outlined above, you can opt out of receiving such communications at any time.

Data Security Measures

We take the security of your data seriously. To safeguard your information, we employ a range of technical and organisational measures, including but not limited to:

Limiting access to your personal information to authorised personnel only.
Regularly reviewing our data handling practices and security policies.
Using reputable third-party service providers (such as brevo.com) who demonstrate their own commitment to data privacy and security.

Third-Party Service Providers

Our use of third-party providers such as brevo.com for email communications means that your data may be processed and stored by these providers on our behalf. We ensure that any such providers are contractually obliged to handle your information securely and in compliance with relevant data protection laws.

International Data Transfers

If your data is processed outside of your country of residence (for example, if brevo.com stores data in another jurisdiction), we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information, and that any such transfers comply with applicable regulations.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended for adults and are not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect or retain personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as possible.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on our website or communicated to you directly, where appropriate. We encourage you to check this page regularly to stay informed about how your information is protected.

Contact Information

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or your personal data, or if you wish to exercise any of your rights as outlined above, please contact us via the details provided on our website. We are committed to working with you to resolve any concerns or issues you may have.
