Privacy Policy

Who's Behind This

Fair Parking Newham is a resident-led campaign, not a registered company, but we're still responsible for any personal data we collect. For the purposes of data protection law, we're the "controller" of that data. You can contact the campaign about your information.

What We Collect

If you sign up via our Get Involved form, we collect your email address and your choice to receive updates. We also note which of our pages the form was on, as a short page label, so we can count which pages work; it is not linked to any advert click or online identifier. We retain the information previously provided through our old signup form only for the campaign purposes explained when it was collected.

If you choose email updates, we also keep a record of your permission, confirmation and unsubscribe choices. Providing your details is voluntary. You can get in touch or help the campaign without subscribing to emails.

If you email us directly, we receive whatever you choose to include in that message.

Why We Collect It, and On What Basis

We send campaign updates and opportunities to get involved by email only with your consent. You can withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting how we used your information before you withdrew it. If you unsubscribe and later change your mind, you can rejoin by signing up again and confirming from the new email we send you.

We do not profile your views or make your subscription public.

We use information you send us directly to answer your enquiry or organise the help you offer. Our basis for this is our legitimate interest in running the campaign and responding to residents. Contacting us does not automatically subscribe you to campaign emails.

How Long We Keep It

We'll keep your details for as long as the campaign is active. If the campaign concludes, we'll either delete your details or ask whether you'd like to stay on file, and we'll delete them sooner if you ask us to, unless we have a lawful reason to retain a limited record. If you unsubscribe, we keep only the information needed to respect that choice and a limited record of consent and previous deliveries needed to account for how we used your information, for as long as the campaign remains active. We review these records when you ask for deletion and when the campaign ends. Unconfirmed signup requests are deleted 14 days after the latest confirmation email.

Who Sees It

Campaign organisers have access where needed to run the campaign. We also use providers of online forms, secure storage and email delivery to handle information for these purposes. We do not sell your details or make the subscriber list public.

The signup form includes a verification service to help prevent abuse. It processes technical browser and network information for this security purpose, based on our legitimate interest in protecting the form. For the same purpose we keep a short-lived count of signup requests per connection, in a form that is not linked to any email address; each count covers one hour and is marked for deletion two hours later. Some service providers process information outside the UK. Applicable safeguards include UK adequacy arrangements and approved contractual protections, including the UK international data transfer addendum where required. You can contact us for a copy of the arrangements that apply to your information.

How We Measure the Website

We count page views and clicks on the site's own buttons, such as the signup form, the survey link and the share buttons. We also count how far down a page people scroll and whether they open the section with the full case and sources. Each count is tagged with which page it happened on and which link or advert brought the visitor there, along with the website the visitor came from and whether they were using a phone or a larger screen.

We also count, in totals only, the type of browser and device, whether the visit came from inside an app (for example the Facebook app's built-in browser), and the approximate country, region and town or city of the connection. These are worked out as each count arrives, without storing IP addresses or the browser's full identification details, and are not linked to a person.

When you sign up, those link and advert tags are passed on to the next page and to the link in your confirmation email, so we can count, in total and without linking it to your email address, which page and link led to a signup. We do not store the tags with your details.

We don't use cookies or similar tracking for this, and we don't store IP addresses or device identifiers. We can't identify anyone from these counts, and we keep only totals. The counts are held in Cloudflare Workers Analytics Engine, which keeps them for three months.

Your Rights

You can ask us at any time to see what we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict its use, or object to our use of it. Where applicable, you can also request a portable copy. To exercise these rights, contact the campaign. Each campaign email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also withdraw your email consent by contacting us. If you're not happy with how we've handled your data, you can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
