How we use information about you

Although sometimes we will tell you about work from others, we won’t pass information we hold about you to them – unless you explicitly give us your permission.
Any feedback you give us we may use in public communications. But we won’t do so in such a way that people would know it was from you – unless we get your permission.
We may share information about you with other organisations who help us deliver services to you but this will always be under the same conditions as we are bound by under this privacy policy.
We may share information about you with law enforcement agencies or other organisations or individuals if we are obliged to by law.
Use of anonymised data
We will not share anything which identifies you personally.
We use a third party provider, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns, for example, what you look at or access, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data, information about your computer, including – where your browser provides this – your IP address, operating system and browser type. This information is anonymised, and we will make no attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.
We use a third party provider, Wix, to deliver our e-newsletters. Through Wix we gather statistics around email opening and clicks which are not personally identifiable.
Marketing
We would like to communicate with you about ourselves, our work, future projects, other stuff that we think you might find interesting and opportunities to support our work or join one of our projects.
We will only do this if you explicitly give us permission to do this. For example, we won’t add you to our mailing list if you contact us through the contact form but do not agree to be added.
You have the right to opt out at any time from us contacting you for marketing purposes. If you no longer want to be contacted for marketing purposes send us an email hello@newcitizenproject.com or click ‘unsubscribe’ within the email we have sent you.
Storage and retention
We will only store your information in services within the EEA, or in services signed up to the EU-US Privacy Shield.
We will keep your information for as long as is required for us to provide you with the service you have requested from us. Where your information is no longer required, we will ensure it is disposed of in a secure manner.
