Our privacy policy

We are committed to protecting your personal data and to ensuring full compliance with data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Please find below the most important information on the measures we take to protect your personal data and privacy.

Website

We may analyze the way users interact with our website to improve the way we present and communicate our work online. We may analyze behavior patterns of visitors (such as the number of visitors to specific articles or sections of our website, average time per webpage etc.). None of this data leaves our servers; it is never shared with third parties.

We have opted for privacy-friendly settings and do not attempt to personally identify website visitors, with all collected log files processed in a way that prevents any links to specific IP addresses or persons.

In order to function correctly, our website may place a cookie on your computer – a default setting which you can opt out of at any time. If you don’t want us to register any data related to your visit to the KBPO website, you may opt out using a free javascript blocker like NoScript, or may tick the “Do not track” feature of your web browser.

Please note that links to other websites are not governed by this privacy notice.

Receiving information

When signing up to KBPO, we collect your name and email address to enable us to send you information. Individuals who subscribe to any lists by us are required to give explicit consent.

Campaign actions

We occasionally run campaign actions which require the user to submit their name, email address, postcode, and country of residence, if they wish to support the action. This data will only be used in the context of the action ie. to update you on its progress.

At times we may hand over the information concerning your name and country to the petition target - that way we can prove that there is a real person behind your signature. This may also involve sharing the data with campaign partners who coordinate communications with the petition target. Your email address will not be passed on to any third parties.

Storing data

All personal data held by us is treated confidentially.

Sharing personal data with third parties

We do not disclose your personal data to any third parties, except in the specific instances described above in the context of campaign actions.
