Privacy policy
Your online privacy and security is very important to GALHA.
Personal information collection
When you are on www.galha.org.uk or other GALHA online presences, and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with GALHA alone unless stated otherwise.
In order to keep improving our website, we collect the following information from visitors
* IP addresses
* Which pages are accessed and what actions are taken by an IP address
* Any information volunteered by the visitor, such as an email address
Sharing information
GALHA will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information, except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. GALHA does not sell lists to others. GALHA may share individual information available to affiliated third parties and our agents for marketing purposes. GALHA may also use such information to contact people for marketing purposes. From time to time, we agree with other likeminded organisations to write to some of each other's supporters, for the mutual benefit of both.
We use the information we collect about visitors to the site to help us with understanding more about how our site is used and to be able to send you appropriate communications.
Distribution of information
If you have subscribed to any of GALHA's e-communications, e-zines or e-newsletters we will not sell or rent this information to anyone. From time to time we may work in partnership with other organisations on a campaign and so you may receive joint communications from GALHA and the partnership organisation(s).
What does GALHA do with the personal information you provide?
If you provide us with personal information your details are stored securely and used only for the purpose for which you have signed up. We do not pass your details to other organisations without your express consent (except if you use our secure financial pages - in which case they are passed to our financial partner for payment processing and validation purposes only - see below for further details).
The information you give us will be stored on a database and may be used by us where appropriate. This data helps us to know what incentives, appeals and actions are working well and which are not so strong - and informs future activity across the organisation, helping GALHA to be more effective in combating human rights abuses.
Who else can access your personal information?
If you use our secure financial pages to join GALHA or to donate money to us online, you are going through to the website of our reputable financial partner company. They handle all the secure financial transactions on the GALHA website on our behalf. The information you provide as part of any online financial transaction (such as your credit card number and contact information) is collected only so that the transaction can take place.
Accessing and updating membership records online is not currently possible, please get in touch via the information in 'Contact us'.
When you give GALHA personal information we take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely. Unfortunately, it is not possible to guarantee the total security of any data transmitted over the Internet. While we strive to protect your personal information, GALHA cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you therefore do this at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
This policy will be updated if there are any changes in our practice.
