Data we collect
When you purchase products or tickets to events through our site, or complete expressions of interest for volunteer roles or Board responsibilities, we will ask for your name, email address, mobile number and sometimes identifying information about you including your ethnicity, sexuality or gender. We may also ask about any accessibility requirements or accommodations you have. We use this information to ensure our services adequately provide support and access for everyone based in a justice and equity framework.
During our training sessions and Communities of Practice, you may share confidential information. We do not record these sessions and we do not allow recording or transcription of these sessions for any reason other than accessibility. Transcripts are not retained. If sessions occur on Zoom, comments in the chat are retained after the session in order to preserve resources and links shared by participants. Attendee lists are collected only in order to create attendance and completion certificates.
When you complete a pledge during our training or complete a training evaluation form, we collect your name and email address and may also ask for your organisation and role. This email address is only used to send your pledge back to you unless you also opt-in to our mailing list. We may also contact you if you agree to provide a testimonial.
Information about roles and organisations is collected in order to provide de-identified reports for organisations about pledge themes and may also be used for internal statistics.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We do not share your personal data with anyone, although it is often stored on service sites we use to sell tickets or complete forms, including Humanitix, ConvertKit, SurveySparrow and WooCommerce. We may use identifying information to tag a record in our system to ensure you receive the correct information about our services.
If you have created an account on our site and you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
We currently retain data indefinitely unless we are requested to delete it; however, this policy is reviewed regularly and may change.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
