5. THE DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

Personal data, or personal information, means any information from which your individual identity could be discerned. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

  • identity data, including first name, maiden name, last name, username or similar identifier, title, date of birth and/or gender;

  • contact data, including address, email address and/or telephone number(s);

  • financial data, including bank account and payment card details;

  • transaction data, including details about payments to and from you and other details of products and services you have purchased from us;

  • technical data, including internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access this website and/or third party websites and platforms hosting our content;

  • profile data, including your username, your interests, preferences, feedback and/or survey responses;

  • usage data, including information about how you use our website;

  • aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

We collect this personal data by using cookies and other similar technologies. We may also receive technical data about you if you visit other websites employing our cookies. You will have the option of declining cookies that are not strictly necessary for the delivery of the website if you do not wish to provide this kind of data to us.

8. WHEN WE WILL SHARE YOUR DATA

We will never sell your personal data to any other organisation and we will not share your personal data unless it is obvious that this is what we are going to do (such as the signing of a petition). We may share your data:

  • With third parties to perform services on your behalf and to help promote the campaigning work of Faiza Shaheen by serving you advertisements and content online about Faiza Shaheen policies we think you might be interested in and/or other campaigns and movements that share the values, principles and aims of Faiza Shaheen.

  • With suppliers who act as our ‘data processors’ and who provide the means of processing financial transactions including, but not limited to Action Network, MailChimp, NationBuilder, Stripe, PayPal and others.

We do not allow our third party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

9. COOKIES

A cookie is a tiny text file that is stored on users’ machines (computers, tablets or mobile devices). We may use cookies – including analytics cookies provided by third party companies – in order to tailor your experience on our site according to the preferences you have specified. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

10. THIRD-PARTY LINKS

This website may include links to third-party websites, platforms, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites or platforms and are not responsible for their privacy policies or statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

11. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

In order to process your personal data for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, we may need to transfer your data to countries or jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In each case, we ensure that our suppliers provide adequate protection for the rights of data individuals in connection with the transfer of their personal data. Currently, we expect all suppliers to use a standard contractual clause approved by the European Union or be part of the Privacy Shield scheme in the United States.

12. DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

13. HOW LONG WE WILL HOLD YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

14. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

As a data subject, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. The rights you have include:

  • request access to the personal data that we hold which relates to you (this is often described as a “subject access request”). You can exercise this right at any time by contacting us at hello@faizaforchingford.com and telling us that you are making a subject access request.

  • request that we correct personal data that we hold about you which you believe is incorrect or inaccurate, or to request we erase personal data if you do not believe that we need to continue retaining it. Please note that we may ask you to verify any new data that you provide to us and may take our own steps to check that the new data you have supplied us with is right. Further, we are not always obliged to erase personal data when asked to do so; if for any reason we believe that we have a good legal reason to continue processing personal data that you ask us to erase, we will tell you what that reason is at the time we respond to your request.

  • request to stop receiving communications. You can opt-out of communications you receive from us at any time by using the ‘unsubscribe’ link that appears in the footer of each communication (or the equivalent mechanism in those communications). Alternatively, if for any reason you cannot use those links, or if you would prefer to contact us directly – you can unsubscribe by contacting us at hello@faizaforchingford.com and telling us which communications you would like us to stop sending you.

  • request that personal information you have given your consent for us to use is provided in an electronic format so it can be transferred to another data controller (also known as “data portability”).
