2. Personal information

In some places on our website, we ask for personal information that allows us to improve your visit to the site or to contact you with information that you have requested or that may be of interest to you, for example when you sign the petition or if you sign up to receive our newsletters. The only personal information we ask for is your name, country of residence, and email address.

Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you for one of the following reasons:

• If you have given us permission to store information about you.
• If there is a legitimate interest. As a positive change organisation, Positive Money Europe depends on your support to achieve results. This is why we may, for example, ask you to join an action such as signing a petition or attending a meeting or public action or making a donation. 

3. How we use your personal information

We will only email you information about our work if you give us your consent to do so. This information is sent to you when we think it may be of interest to you. For example, when you have consent to being contacted by email, you may receive an email from us inviting you to sign the petition. Similarly, you may receive a welcome message with other ways to support us, such as making a donation. All of our emails will give you the option to opt out of receiving further emails. You can also contact us to unsubscribe from our mailing list. 

 4. Disclosure of your personal information

Positive Money Europe will not disclose your personal information to third parties unless it is absolutely necessary to do so. For example, when we hand the petition to the stakeholders that the petition addresses, it may be necessary to include part of your name. Otherwise, we will only disclose your information if we are legally required to do so. 

5. Access and changes

Under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to request and obtain:

• confirmation that your data is being processed;
• access to your personal data;
• any other information about you that we hold.

To make such a request please contact us. We will ensure that we confirm your identity before we provide you with the information requested. You will not be charged for the information. Any incorrect information will be corrected or deleted within one month or as soon as possible.

6. Retention of information

We will keep your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the activity you are supporting (for example, participating in the petition). If you request that your personal information be deleted, we will deal with your request transparently and in accordance with our data retention policy.

7. Security

The security of your personal information is important to us, and we will take appropriate precautions to protect it.

Some of the third party platforms are based in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). International data transfers to these providers are covered by standard GDPR contractual clauses or other relevant safeguards.

Specifically, we use the following third party services:

We use Action Network to collect data, for example from petitions and donation forms and newsletter sign-ups. Please see Action Network’s GDPR statement and privacy policy. 

We use Stripe for handling donation payments. Positive Money Europe does not have access to your payment details. Please see Stripe’s privacy policy as we are not responsible for the way Stripe handles data. 

Despite all the precautions we take, no data transmission over the internet can be 100% secure. Therefore, while we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of the information you provide to us online and you should understand that you do so at your own risk. 

We take steps to ensure that access to personal information is restricted to employees who need it. All Positive Money Europe employees who handle such information are aware of our security and privacy practices.
