PRIVACY
This website is intended for members of the general public, primarily in the United Kingdom, who wish to support or learn more about the Ban The Brotherhood UK campaign. This website is not intended for children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Data we collect
We may collect and use the following personal data:
• your name
• your email address
• your postcode
• records of whether you used the website to support the campaign
• records of whether you subscribed to receive campaign emails
• technical and usage information collected through the website, which may include:IP address
• browser type and version
• device information
• pages visited
• date and time of access
• referral source
• cookie and analytics identifiers
• information collected through Framer and other website infrastructure providers
If you contact us directly, we may also keep a record of your correspondence.
We use your personal data to:
allow you to use the website’s write to your MP function
identify the appropriate MP based on your postcode
generate a draft message for use in your own email client
keep a record of campaign support and engagement
send you campaign updates and relevant Henry Jackson Society publications where you have opted in
administer and improve the website
monitor website usage and performance
protect the website against spam, abuse and malicious activity
comply with legal and regulatory obligations
produce aggregated reporting about campaign reach and website traffic
We rely on the following lawful bases under Article 6 UK GDPR, depending on the activity:
• Consent
where you opt in to receive campaign emails, and where required for cookies or similar technologies
• Legitimate interests
to operate, secure and improve the website, maintain records of engagement, and understand
campaign reach, provided our interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms
• Legal obligation
where we need to process personal data to comply with applicable law or regulatory requirements
Where we process special category data relating to political opinions or inferred campaign support, our primary basis should be explicit consent unless another valid Article 9 condition clearly applies. The safest compliance approach for this site is to use explicit consent for that support-recording function.
When you use the write to your MP feature:
• you provide your name, email address and postcode
• we use your postcode to identify the appropriate MP
• the website generates a draft message
• the message is then sent through your own email client, not through our servers
Even where the message itself is sent through your own email application, any personal data you enter into the form and any record of campaign support stored by us remains subject to this Privacy Policy.
If you choose to opt in, we may send you:
• updates about the Ban The Brotherhood UK campaign
• related campaign actions
• relevant Henry Jackson Society publications connected to the campaign
You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us at information@henryjacksonsociety.org.uk.
We may use cookies and similar technologies through providers such as:
• Google Analytics
• YouTube
• Framer
• Mailchimp
• reCAPTCHA
Some of these technologies are strictly necessary for the website to function or to protect it from abuse. Others, including analytics and embedded media cookies, are not strictly necessary and will be used only where required consent has been obtained.
We may share your personal data with trusted service providers who help us operate the website and campaign, including providers of:
• website hosting and website infrastructure
• form handling
• analytics
• email distribution
• spam prevention and site security
• embedded media
This may include providers such as Framer, Mailchimp, Google, YouTube and reCAPTCHA.
We may also share aggregated and non-identifiable website statistics with sponsors or supporters of the campaign. We do not share sponsor reports in a form that identifies you personally.
We may also disclose personal data where required by law, regulation, court order, or to protect our legal rights.
Some of our third-party service provides may process and store personal data outside of the United Kingdom. We will never sell, give or provide your details to any third party. The third-party services which we use are used entirely for data storage. Where we use third-party, we will take steps to ensure that it is protected by appropriate safeguards in accordance with UK data protection law.
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.
Unless a longer retention period is required or justified by law, we currently expect to retain:
• campaign support and write-to-MP form data: up to 3 years
• mailing list subscription data: until you unsubscribe or ask us to stop, plus limited suppression data as needed to ensure we respect your preferences
• website analytics data: up to 3 years, subject to provider settings
• technical security and backup data: up to 3 years, unless a shorter or longer period is required for security, continuity or legal reasons

request access to your personal data

request restriction of processing
